Yellow Kitty by Sally Hansen

I first saw this polish in the nails of a beauty blogger on YouTube and it looked amazing on her.  She said it was the first yellow she had found that suited her skin tone and I thought I finally might have found a yellow that suited me too.  I tracked it down on eBay and was excited for it to come.  Boy was I wrong about this polish.  The colour is awful on me, it does not suit me at all.

I found the formula to be awful, it was streaky and hard to apply.  It took several coats to get an even colour and even then you could see my nail beds.  I disliked this polish so much I took it off within 24 hours of applying it.  I would not recommend this at all.

Why Not by Sinful Colors

This polish is an amazing blue colour, so vibrant and bright.  I love it in the bottle and I also loved it on the nails, the vibrancy translated well.

The formula of this was great, it applied really well.  Three coats and it was opaque.  A lovely polish.

Winterberry by Sinful Colors

I bought this polish about six months ago in Boots in their 3 for 2 sale.  The colour is a dusky purple/grey colour, quite interesting in the bottle.  On the nail it's a bit darker than I expected and a bit more dull and boring than I thought it would be.

The formula of the polish is a bit thin, three coats were needed to make it opaque but it's easy to apply.  The colour is nice for autumn I think and although I found the colour a bit dull, I thought it suited my colouring well.

Wait Until Dark by Ciate

I got this polish free with Marie Claire magazine a couple of years ago.  It's a lovely deep purple colour with just a little bronze hint about it.  Very vampy and lovely on the nails.

The formula of this is good and it applies well.  I don't know whether this is readily available or was limited edition to go with the magazine but I would suggest tracking this down if you like purple polishes.

Watermelon Fizz by Revlon

This polish came with the set of 10 for £10 I bought from Costco last January.  It is a thin topcoat Ina pink colour rather than a full coverage polish so I layered it over Victoria by Nails Inc.  I was not too keen on Victoria on its own but layering on Watermelon Fizz over the top suddenly brought it to life. Paired together the two gave an amazing look which I loved.

I used two coats of polish to give it some depth but probably could have got away with one.  I can't wait to try layering this over other polishes to see what effect it gives.

Vivid Violet by No. 7

In the bottle this polish is a gorgeous colour, exactly as the title says "Vivid Violet".  However on the nails the colour just seems to lack some substance, it loses some of its vibrancy.  Such a shame too.

No. 7 polishes are great, I find the brushes really good to work with as they are wide meaning it's easy to coat all your nail.  I just wish this colour delivered more than it does.

That's the end of the V's - next up is the start of the W's with Watermelon Fizz by Revlon.
Until next time,

Victoria by Nails Inc

I got this polish free with Glamour magazine a few years ago.  It is not a colour I would have picked myself, a very deep rich maroon red colour.  It's not my favourite on my skin tone, makes me look paler (if possible!).  I find the colour quite dull and boring actually.

The polish is easy to apply and the formula is good.  If you like this colour this would be a good polish.

Next up is Vivid Violet by No. 7.
