This was hard to capture, but I think I've just about managed it!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's a deep, dark purple! Almost looks black in some lighting. Prone to slight scuffing but lasted okay otherwise.

Chanel 579 Paparazzi

Another of the new Chanel polishes, exciting times!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. I'd say it's a brown with a subtle shimmer to it, you can just about make it out in the 2nd bottle pic! I know, I know it's a brown and I like it *shock*, so yeah this brown has defeated me lol! Lasted well.

Chanel 575 Starlet

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush is really amazing on the Chanel polishes. I'd say it's a coral/pink colour with a very subtle gold shimmer. It's very pretty and lasted well.

Color Club You Got Soul-Ar

With Top Coat.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying. It dried matte, which I hadn't realised it would do! The last pic is with the Nubar Top Coat, I think it looks better glossy! Lasted really well.

Ruby Wing Gypsy

Another colour changer!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. I'd say indoors it is a minty green and outdoors, more a spring green. Changes quickly! Looks good.

Oh wow! This is my favourite type of polish, iridescent!

OPI Number One Nemesis

I only bought this one and Shatter the Scales from the Spiderman Collection.

This is easy to use, easy to apply (has an excellent brush) and is fairly quick drying. I'd say it is pewter with subtle green and pink glitter. Lasted really well and I like it!

Jade Delirio Rosa

Ugh I'm not feeling well, but I've tried to do this post as well! It's the first time I've ever had sinusitis - it's horrible and I've got the flu too :-(

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. Used it with an aqua base coat. It's absolutely gorgeous and holo-tastic! Totally love it! Lasted really well.

Marks & Spencer Crystal

This is easy to use, easy to apply and very, very slow drying. I ended up using the Nubar top coat to speed things up! It's a gorgeous white colour that looks like snow. Lasted really well.

Illamasqua Serenity

This is one of the 'rubber finish' polishes.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. It's a lovely light blue colour. I can see what they mean by 'rubber finish'! Lasted well and really liked this.

Butter London Disco Biscuit

And with the Nubar Top Coat *gasp*

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's pink with blue speckles in it. I'd say it's slightly textured and a wee bit gritty, though the application of the top coat removes that feeling and makes the nails shiny! Nice enough and lasted well with the top coat on.

Deborah Lippmann It Girl

This is part of the Run The World Girls set and it's awful, bloody awful! I've never felt so disgusted by a nail polish in my whole life! On with the show....

This is easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying. It's absolutely horrible. It looks like I had nicotine stains on my nails, not the lovely yellow in the bottle. Why on earth was the nail polish ever created????? I took pictures of this and then removed it. I've tried a few others from the set and been impressed, but not with this. Yuck!

Ruby Wing Sand Dune

I decided to wear another Ruby Wing colour changer as the sun was out. So when I decided to take the pictures after I was happy the polish was dry..... the sun went home :-( To my surprise, the colour changed! Mr Posh didn't seem that impressed that it changed, he thought it would.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. The first coat was very streaky and I made sure I had plenty on the brush for the second. It's a coral colour in the shade and a sort of deep, dusky rose in the daylight. Was okay, but I don't think the colour excited me that much.
