Illamasqua Omen

And under the UV light:

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a nice green with a semi-matte satin type finish and it does have a silver shimmer too! It also comes alive under the UV light! It looked pretty funky I'd have to say. Lasted well.

Morgan Taylor Watt Yel-lookin' At?

This is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's quite streaky and needed careful application. It did sort itself out after 3 coats though! It's a lovely bright yellow. Lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-1.5 minutes a coat). It's a lovely textured polish with blue glitters. It's not very rough and the formula was really good. Lasted well.

Deborah Lippmann Dancing In The Sheets

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's a pretty dark purple with a lovely blue shimmer. Some of the above photos are taken with the flash to show off the shimmer. It is also slightly iridescent! Slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

**Now a funny thing happened....this chipped within 30 minutes of wearing it and all I was doing was watching TV! As it was late and I needed to get to bed, I decided to put a top coat on it so it wouldn't chip anymore!** It then chipped really badly at work. I had only changed my base coat a few days prior and worn Avon Hot (which also chipped slightly). I've never had bad chipping like this before. So I decided to try wearing it again with my Butter London base coat. And what do you know, it didn't chip and lasted really well. I will review the base coat on my other blog, hopefully tomorrow.

China Glaze I'd Melt For You

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's a really nice silver shade that would be great for stamping! Unfortunately I got cat hair stuck in it when I was painting! Hadn't realised until I saw the photos :-| So apart from that it's great!!! It's a smaller bottle but the brush is really good. It's so shiny and it lasted well.

Orly Fabfuschia

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the formula applied nicely! It's a one coater as well!! Lovely colour. I noticed slight tip wear and a small chip. I think maybe because it was only one coat?

a-England Incense Burner

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). This is a kinda brown and purple polish with a slight iridescent shimmer that looks green in certain lights. It was quite hard to capture and hope the photos show it off well enough! AND it was a one coater - don't you just love 'em! Lasted well.

Sparitual Hugs

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a pretty dark purple, husband thought it was similar to Vendetta by Chanel! It has a nice shimmer that you can make out in the second photo in the bottle, this wasn't so easy to capture on the nail! It's a one coater as well! Lasted well.

Dance Legend Termo Shine 182

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 minutes a coat). The formula is quite thick and I'm not sure if it's because I got it second hand. I know the Mortal Kombat Collection I bought new and they are quick drying. It's a really nice dark purple when cold and a lovely magenta when warm. Lasted well.

Revlon Wild Strawberry

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a really gorgeous colour with a subtle shimmer, you can just about see it in the bottle photo. I was confused about the name, I've never seen a strawberry this colour before!! Lasted really well.

China Glaze DJ Blue My Mind

And with UV light:

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It's a nice enough blue. These bottles are really good but make sure you have plenty of polish on the brush for good coverage. Hannah at The Makeup Junkie's Diary had asked if the collection glows under a black light (UV), so I ordered one to try it out! I think it looks pretty funky actually. I will try it with the other colours too and make a post about them! Lasted well.
