This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. It's quite a thick polish so one coat did the trick. It's a lovely green and looks quite Christmassy. Lasted really well. Gorgeous!

China Glaze Whirled Away

I popped this on top of Marks & Spencer Duck Egg.

This is okay to use, it more like dabbing on than painting the nails. I found it to be fairly slow drying too, so quick drying top coat next time! I think it looks fabby on the opal green colour. It lasted okay, but I was sadly tempted to pick the bits off lol.

China Glaze Scandalous Shenanigans

I ordered the Autumn Nights Collection from America and this one arrived injured! I lost about half the bottle in transit. The formula was gloopy and okay to work with. I would assume an uninjured bottle would be easier to work with!!

It was okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying. It's a gorgeous blue colour that knocked me out! Lasted well.

OPI Alcatraz....Rocks

This is last of the San Francisco collection. I've managed to work my way through it!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying but not as quick as some of the other liquid sands polishes. It's a gorgeous blue with different colours of glitter: gold, pink and green are the ones I spotted! Lasted really well and it's amazing!

Final thoughts on the San Francisco collection
Great quality polishes but I felt some of the colours were bog standard. I'm sure I have similar ones to them!
