China Glaze Tail Me Something

This is the second of Sea Goddess collection that I decided to try!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. It's a purple textured polish. It is quite silver-like too. It's nice but didn't really last well. I had noticed a chip after about 4 hours and I was only out to lunch with my friend, I didn't do much with my hands!

China Glaze Wish On A Starfish

I wasn't sure about getting the China Glaze Sea Goddess collection. I was yes, I was no. Then I saw them on eBay for a good price (about £24 for the 6 that's including shipping!) and went for it.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It is very, very pretty. I didn't realise the collection was so textured, I expected it to be a more subtle effect. I was impressed with this one. Lasted really well.

Orly Space Cadet

I've had this one for ages and decided it was time to wear it!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's iridescent!!! Yah! Purple, green and gold can all be seen! Lasted really well and it's pretty :-)

Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee

*faints*

Ugg I'm loaded with the cold and feel awful :-(

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. One thick coat does the trick, but be careful with the brush strokes as this polish is unforgiving! It's a silver with a subtle lilac tone to it. Lasted really well.

OPI You're So Flippy Floppy

The last one! And I've been meaning to post it for a few days now, but been really tired. I blame working nightshift on that :-(

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's a sorta golden yellow colour with subtle sparkles. I'm not as keen on this colour as the others. I don't mind yellows, but this just didn't get me excited. Lasted well.

OPI I'm Brazil Nuts Over You

This is the second Beach Sandie. I meant to post it earlier, but was very tired after working nightshift!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's a mini OPI bottle but easy enough to get used to. Remember to have plenty on the brush as it's a small one. It's a lovely red/pink colour with a subtle golden shimmer. Lasted really well.

OPI Samba-dy Loves Purple

My OPI Beach Sandies arrived a few days ago yah! This is the first up.

This is easy enough to use and easy to apply. Quick drying too. If you aren't used to using the mini OPI bottles, you will get into the swing soon enough. The brush is really good for such a small bottle, but remember to have plenty on the brush for good coverage and a few strokes. And this makes things easier. It's a very pretty purple with little sparkles! Lasted really well.

Color Club Seaside

Ugg not been posting lately, been quite tired. Maybe it's the weather over here?

This is okay to use and okay to apply. It's quite slow drying compared to other texture polishes I've tried. The first coat is fairly streaky and I had to use a thick one for the second. I'd say it is quite a gritty one and got caught in my hair, something I hadn't really noticed with other textures. I think it is a lovely colour but certainly not as slick as others polishes of this type. Lasted really well. Part of Color Club's new Sea Salt Texture range.

OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby

One of the new Gwen Stefani polishes!

This is easy to use and easy to apply. It's also quick drying too. It is has a 'satin finish' which I understand now having had the polish on. It's absolutely gorgeous and lasted well.

I'm more a fan of Bush than GS or No Doubt, but I do really like the tracks Ex Girlfriend and Hella Good and I do own a few of their albums and her first solo one.

a-england Avalon

Not had an a-england on in a while!

This is okay to use and okay to apply. I found this one slightly trickier than the others! It was also slower drying than other a-england polish I've tried before. But all those down sides don't matter because it's a gorgeous purple colour! Lasted well.

OPI Wonderous Star

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's golden with black dots in it. Make sure you have lots on the brush to get good coverage and I found that I had to play about with moving the dots on some nails! Lasted well.

Deborah Lippmann Run, Run Rudolph

Hope everyone had a great new year! Mine wasn't great was in bed for most of 31st and 1st. I'm a lot better now and back on track with things!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's a gorgeous red with flaky flecks in it. They look red and golden in certain lights. This was a pain to remove, didn't use the foils - lazy! Lasted really well.

OPI Alpine Snow

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Hope you are all having a great time :-)

As promised here is the review for Alpine Snow!

This is okay to use and terrible to apply. It's fairly quick drying. The first coat is really streaky no matter how thick or thin. I made the second coat thick and it was fine and managed to get a good finish. It's one of the better quality whites I've tried. It's also pretty and looks nice I thought. Lasted well.
