This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (less than a minute a coat). It's a pretty colour and iridescent! It also has a cool blue shimmer which is so pretty :-) Lasted really well.

Ciate Pinkalilly

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 2.5 minutes for a coat). It's a pretty pink colour with a golden shimmer!!! It's very lovely and I like it a lot :-). The brush was good and easy to use the lid is comfortable to hold. Lasted well.

OPI You're So Vain-illa

This is okay to use and okay to apply. The first coat is really streaky but the second is fine as long as it's a thicker coat. The drying time is quick (about 1-2 minutes). It kinda looks like a caramel/toffee yoghurt I used to eat as a kid! It is okay, at first I didn't like the colour but it grew on me. Lasted well.

China Glaze Galactic Gray

Another sunny day, another holo :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). The formula is slightly thick but easy to work with. I didn't use the Aqua Base for this polish. It's a gorgeous black/charcoal holo polish and I really like how it looks :-) Lasted well.

OPI Juice Bar Hopping

This is one of the new neon polishes from OPI.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (less than a minute for a coat). It's very bright and very orange and very bold!!! I like the finish - kinda semi-matte - so I didn't apply a top coat for a glossy finish. I know with this collection, there was a white base coat released. I've got Alpine Snow, so didn't bother to buy it. And in the end I didn't bother using any white base coat with this. I know some people always put white on before neons! Lasted really well.

a-England Sleeping Palace

It was sunny a few days ago in Scotland so out came a holo :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (less than a minute for a coat). It's a gorgeous purple holo and looks fantastic in the sunshine! It's really nice and I really like it! This is the first time I've tried a holo without the Aqua Base and I think this holo is okay without it! Lasted well.

OPI My Signature Is "DC"

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about a minute for a coat). It's a gorgeous silver colour that's very shiny! I really like this one! It's so pretty hehe. Noticed slight scuffing on a few nails but lasted well apart from that.

Marks & Spencer City Grey

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). It's quite weak so required 3 coats! It's a pretty light grey colour with loads of pinky sparkles! I think this would look quite good layered as well. This polish has a really good brush! Lasted really well and pretty hehe! :-)

Ciate Baby Doll

Welcome once again to the Ciate Dolls House nightmare! ;-)

This is hard to use, hard to apply and mega, mega quick drying (less than a minute for a thick coat). It is so hard to apply and achieve an even finish with the polish. I had tried the technique suggested by Polished Marvels - where I applied a coat then put a top coat on and applied another coat. This sadly didn't work for me :-( The best application technique I've found for a half decent finish is one very thick coat with one or two brush strokes. It's quite a nice peachy pink colour and it did last well!

Deborah Lippmann Makin' Whoopee

Bit late with this post as I should have posted it yesterday! But was really tired!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 2.5 minutes for a coat). It's a very pretty colour with a subtle blue-like shimmer and tone. I really like this one! Lasted well.

China Glaze Queen B

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). I just used one thick coat, so that's maybe why it was longer drying. It's a kinda deep blue colour that looks sorta purple-ish in poor lighting! It's very pretty. I only swatched this so no idea how it lasted!

OPI Today I Accomplished Zero

Another of the Coca Cola polishes.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1 minute for a coat). Remember, as this is the mini bottle, have plenty of polish on the brush for good coverage. It is black with red glitter and I think it looks pretty cool. Lasted well.
