A plum/ burgundy colour which is ok but not as deep or as rich as I'd like. The polish is easy to apply and only took two coats be opaque. For £1 it's still a good polish.

Plum Noir by MUA
A plum/ burgundy colour which is ok but not as deep or as rich as I'd like. The polish is easy to apply and only took two coats be opaque. For £1 it's still a good polish.
Paradise Love by No. 7
This polish is lovely in the bottle. Pale green with blue and silver micro glitters. It does not quite translate on the nails though and just seems to lack some depth. Quite dull really. I was disappointed with this polish.
Pink by Barry M
This is a limited edition Barry M polish from Boots. It's brighter than Shocking Pink by Barry M and in the bottle it looks amazing. I was so disappointed with this polish when I put it on my nails though. It's a gel formula and so transparent. Four coats did not even produce an opaque finish. Not my favourite at all.
Moody Mink by MUA
I like the colour of this polish in the bottle but on the nails it's a bit dull. I do love this line of polishes though, just not so much this colour.
Lush Lilac by MUA
Lovely pale lilac pink colour. Very pale, would look good with a tan. Takes three coats to be opaque but at £1 you can forgive that.
Love Nails by Sinful Colors
This colour is very similar to Gorgeous by Sinful Colors but slightly more blue where that one is more green. Such a beautiful colour in the bottle, but it must say I prefer Gorgeous, it just has a bit more depth to it. Still a beautiful polish though and cheap at £1.99.
Greenberry by Barry M
I cannot rave enough about this polish. The colour is gorgeous, so vibrant and bright, I love it!
Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze
Words cannot explain how bright this polish is. It's so neon it almost hurts your eyes. It takes a good few coats to get right as it can be streaky but it's so gorgeous you can forgive it. It looks amazing on toes too but it does make you realise how untanned you are! It would look even more phenomenal on tanned skin. A must buy.
Cookies and Cream with Shooting Star Caviar Pearls by Ciate
I got this polish free with a magazine and I am so pleased I did not pay for it. I hated it. The actual nail polish is an ok colour, a nude greige colour, but the caviar manicure is awful. The little pearls were catching on anything I touched and within an hour most had fallen off just leaving small indents where they had been giving my nail a weird pitted look as you can see in the two photos above taken an hour apart. Steer clear of this polish.
Cinderella by Sinful Colors
Pale blue with finely milled silver sparkle. The sparkle does not translate well on the nails though and the formula is quite thin so takes a number of coats before it reaches anything opaque like. The polish is cheap £1.99 but this colour is not my favourite.
Bright Pink by MUA
Lovely colour, applies easily, requires three coats to be opaque but for £1 I'll forgive that.
Bright Coral by MUA
Lovely colour, applies really well, for the price it is amazing. At £1 you can't go wrong.
Bold Blue by MUA
For the price this polish is amazing. Lovely blue colour, opaque in three coats. For £1 it's great.
Blueberry by Barry M
I cannot rave enough about this colour. It is amazing, gorgeous, beautiful. Everyone must run put to the shop and buy it now! My only complaint was that it chipped off the day after I put it on, but that may have been more to do with the state of my brittle nails and not the polish. In any case I take back everything I have previously said about the Gelly Nail Paints. I LOVE this polish.
Beauty Luscious by Nails Inc
Nice pink colour, easy to apply. Thin though, required three coats to be opaque.

Amaretto Crush by MUA
Before I start on the T's here are a number of polishes I have worn from A to R in the last few weeks.
Love these MUA polishes. For £1 they are a bargain. Takes three coats to be opaque but they last a good couple of days without chipping and the formula is great. This colour is a lovely muted pink. Highly recommend you pick these up.

Sunshine by Rimmel
Horrible colour, it's too yellow for my skin tone. The formula is awful, very streaky, still see through after four coats.
Sugared Almonds by Ciate
Nice creamy nude colour although has a strange formula. The consistency is thick but the colour applies thinly so a few coats are needed and even then you can see through it.
Strawberry Ice Cream by Barry M
A lovely creamy pink colour. Beautiful spring/summer colour. Thin consistency, requires at least three coats.
Stormy Skies by MUA
I love these new MUA polishes. £1 a bottle is a bargain. The formula is slightly thin but three coats works well, the polish applies easily and it lasts a good couple of days without chipping. Pick up a few if you can!
The polish is dark with a gold shimmer running through it. A great autumnal colour.
Stay the Night by OPI
One of the Liquid Sand collection. Dark colours polish with red glitter particles. I do not like the effect, look or feel of this polish. The Liquid Sand effect is not my favourite trend.
Star Shower by No. 7
Beautiful colour in the bottle with finely milled glitter of various colours. But this does not translate that we'll on the nails. Disappointed with this polish.
Stardust by Rimmel
Nice coppery/gold colour but very thin consistency. Three coats and it was still not opaque.
Sparkly Khaki by No. 7
Beautiful colour in the bottle, a bit dull on the nails though. Was disappointed with this polish.
Sparkle Red (Magnetic) by Barry M
I did not like this colour or the magnetic pattern of this polish. The colour ends up being a dull brown/red and the pattern looks to me like a fungal infection of the nail!
Sparkle Blue (Magnetic) by Barry M
Beautiful sparkly blue colour. The magnetic pattern makes an amazing effect and beautiful blue colour. Loved this polish.
Sorbet by No. 7
Very thin consistency, still not opaque after three coats. Has a lovely sheen that changes colour from a light green to peach.
Soft Sienna Silks by China Glaze
A nice metallic copper/brown colour. Thin consistency and required three coats. A nice autumnal colour.

Sky High by Rimmel
Lovely blue/green colour but quite a thin formula and you can see your nail bed underneath two coats. Dries quickly though.

Silver Plated by Avon
Layered over Silvery Lilac by Barry M. As much as I was disappointed with Silvery Lilac on its own, adding Silver Plated over the top gave an amazing finish. I absolutely loved the two together. Simply gorgeous.
Silvery Lilac by Barry M
I thought I would love this colour as it is gorgeous in the bottle but on the nails it is just a bit blah. There is no real duo chrome effect. Very disappointing.
Silver Multi Glitter by Barry M
Layered over Silver Foil by Barry M. I did not like the effect of these two together. The glitter is too dark and just makes a dull effect. Not my favourite glitter polish.
Silver Glitter by Barry M
Layered over Silver Foil by Barry M. The effect cannot really be seen in this photo but the glitter does give a nice effect.
Silver Foil by Barry M
Love this colour, love this formula. Easy to work with even if it is a metallic which are notoriously hard. Would look amazing with a tan.
Shocking Pink by Barry M
The first Barry M polish I ever bought in the old style bottle. Very bright pink, formula is still good after at least 5 years!
Sand Dune by Ciate
Got this free with a magazine. Good job too as it flaked off three whole nails after 12 hours of wear. Lovely colour but rubbish wear time.
Salsa by No. 7
One of my favourite colours, beautiful metallic red. Great formula, such a great colour at Christmastime.
