This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a lovely black based purple iridescent glittery polish! A few colours can be seen. It is gorgeous and lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a nice pinky foil nail polish and sure it would stamp well, these sort of polishes do. It lasted really well and is nice.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is slightly streaky on the first coat but builds up nicely on the second. It is a nice lilac colour and had a certain Beatles song going through my head the whole time I had this on! Should have made it the 8th and that would have been the perfect tribute to him. 40 years gone. I think it is very similar to Ibiza Blues from 2016 and Double Bubblegum from 2015. This is really nice and lasted well.

This is a doubler from 2014.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a lovely black polish, very rich and creamy. The formula is different from the 2014 version! I like this one and it lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It isn't really my colour, bit too brown for my liking and it isn't peach as the name would suggest haha! It is, however, a one coater and quick drying, so not all bad. It lasted really well and it did grow on me.

This is a doubler from 2017.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous purple based polish with a golden iridescent shimmer! It seems to be a lot quicker drying than the 2017 version! It lasted really well and is gorgeous!

I used this on top of Primark's Evergreen.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying (1/2 a minute). It is a very glossy top coat. The polish lasted well with and without the top coat.

I received a lovely postcard from my blogging friend Stevenson. He has 2 blogs: Stevenson's Postcards and Stevenson Que. Check them out! Thank You :-D
This is a doubler from 2016.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is a nice pinky coral leaning cream. It was slightly streaky on the first coat but nothing serious and builds up nicely on the second. I think this is slightly more pinky than the 2016 version. It is really nice and lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice purple blue, leaning more to blue than purple though. Looks good and lasted really well.

I used this under Deborah Lippmann's I Know What Boys Like. I used my normal base coat on my right hand for comparison.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute). It is a clear base coat and applied nicely. The polish lasted well with it, though it lasted well with my normal base coat too! It was decent and am happy with it. I could see myself using this again.

This is a doubler from 2013 and 2014.
This is okay to use, streaky to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat but fine on the second. The formula is very different from both the 2013 and 2014 versions! It also isn't sheer compared to them either. It is nice enough and lasted well.

Welcome to the Advent Calendar for this year. Let's have fun :-D
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). I used it solo and on top of a dark blue. It think it looks great both ways. It is a shimmery iridescent polish. The brush was really good for a mini. Lasted really well.
