Essie - Jade To Measure
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It has a wide brush but is good and the formula goes on nicely. This ia s lovely metallic green that is slightly iridescent, it looks more iridescent in the bottle than on the nails though! Lasted really well.

Essie - Comfy In Cashmere
This is okay to use, okay to apply and really quick drying (less than a minute a coat). The formula is slighty streaky so keep brushstrokes to a minimum. The brush is thin too so have plenty of polish on the brush for good coverage. It is nice and as you know, I am not really a fan of brown but I think the shimmer adds to this one. Lasted really well and must admit it did grow on me!

Essie - Zip Me Up
This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat but okay on the second. It is a nice minty green with a subtle shimmer. The shimmer doesn't really show on the nails though! You can see the shimmer at the top left of the bottle in the second photo. The brush is really good to use. It is lovely and lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes it easy to paint with. It is a stunning red and lasted really well.
