I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good. The formula is good but really sheer. It is a jelly finish and they are always sheer! It's okay but not really my colour or finish. Decent though and lasted well apart from minor tip wear.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The formula is quite gloopy and thick but it does go on well. From what I have read of this it seems to be a thicker gloopy formula. The brush is good. Hmmm I wasn't really impressed with this at all, I think it looks better in the bottle. It does look okay on the darker colour as it really shows it off.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good and the fomula is really good too. It is a nice cute pinky red colour. 1 coat would have done but I used 2 as I am taking close up photos. Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is mini but very good and the formula is great. It is a very nice deep, dark blue. This lasted really well and is gorgeous BUT it stained my nails quite badly.
