Topaz by Revlon

This polish is part of the new Chroma Chameleon line of duo chrome which I love.  Topaz is a duo chrome of green and gold, in the bottle it is stunning.  On your nails the duo chrome is slightly less effective but nevertheless it is a lovely colour.

The polish is easy to apply and does not go streaky even though it has a metallic like finish.  Lovely polish.

Thunderstorm by No. 7

The colour of this polish in the bottle is lovely, like a dark cream purple/grey, I was drawn to it immediately on the shelf.  However it is much darker on the nails and does not show up the colour in the bottle.  It was ok on the nails, but not as fantastic as the bottle promised.

The polish is easy to apply and opaque in two coats.  It's nice but not as spectacular as I would have liked.

Through the Grapevine by Wet n Wild

I was bought this polish by a friend in the US - Wet n Wild polishes are not readily available over here.  The polish is part of the Megalast range which I believe is dirt cheap in the States, right up my alley!  The colour is a nice pinky purple.

What I loved about this polish though was how well it applied. The brush was great, the coverage was amazing, two coats and it was easily opaque.  If I lived in the US I would have one of this range in every colour I think!

Next up is Thunderstorm by No. 17.

Thinking of Blue by Sally Hansen

This polish is a dark blue cream, it's ok but a little too dark for me, I prefer polishes to have a hint of shimmer or depth about them if they are dark, otherwise I think your nails just look a little flat.

As with all these Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes they are easy to apply with the wide angled brush and this was opaque after two coats.  Overall I would say the polish was ok, but nothing to write home about.

The Impossible by OPI

This is the last of a set of four Mariah Carey liquid sands I was bought back in March.  I had already concluded after the wearing the previous three polishes that I do not like the liquid sand effect and this polish did not change my mind.  The red of the polish is ok, it's quite bright with small flecks of dark polish throughout it but I just really do not like the gritty feeling on my nails.

Not one I'll be reaching for again and I will not be trying out any of the other textured polishes that are out there.

Temptress by No. 17

I got this polish in a set of No. 17 polishes a few Christmases ago.  Not a polish I would have picked out for myself, it's a dark maroon red which is not one of my favourite colours.  It is dark and vampy but it just didn't do anything for me.

The polish was easy to apply and given its a few years old it is not showing any signs of gloopiness like some polishes do.  An ok polish if you like those types of colours.

Teal by Barry M

My apologies for being away for so long (again!), I am a bad bad blogger.  Two mobile twins take up a lot of my time!

I have been wearing lots of nail polish in the last month starting with Teal by Barry M.  This is a very bright metallic teal green colour (hence the name!).  I love the colour, so vibrant.

As with all a Barry M polishes the consistency is great, easy to apply.  This lasted a couple of days without chipping. A lovely polish.

Next up is Temptress by No. 17.
