For Audrey by China Glaze

I have wanted this polish for a few years now ever since I first saw it.  I finally decided to splash out and bought it from Amazon.  It is a Tiffany blue, really more green than blue but made to match the colour of Tiffany boxes.  For Audrey is named for Audrey Hepburn as her most famous role in Breakfast at Tiffanys.  It is a lovely colour on the nails, a nice cream polish.



The polish was easy to apply, two coats and it was opaque. I would recommend this colour to anyone, a nice spring colour.

Every Month is Oktoberfest by OPI

This polish is from the Germany Collection and I have wanted it for a while.  It's a beautiful deep metallic looking red, beautiful in the bottle.  I liked it on the nails, very much a winter polish, very dark and sultry looking.



The polish applied really well and was opaque in two coats.  I would recommend this polish to anyone.

Cajun Shrimp by OPI

This is another polish from the Top Ten collection.  This is a coral red cream colour, a lovely colour but certainly not unique.  I had a lot of coral cream polishes from cheaper companies that I would not rush out and pay for an expensive OPI polish.



The only thing that I would say gives this a slight edge is that OPI polishes are great formulas and easy to apply. It wouldn't make me pay more on this polish though.

Caitlin by Zoya

This is the first Zoya polish I have ever bought, they are not that readily available in England. I had to have this polish because of its name,given it's the name of Dear Daughter No. 1.  The polish is a pale dusty purple cream.  Very muted but quite classic and elegant. I like it (good job really!).



I liked how this polish applied and the polish was opaque in two coats.  Not sure it would make me want to start a huge Zoya collection but if I saw a colour I liked I might splash out for it.

Bubble Bath by OPI

This is another polish from the Top Ten mini collection.  It is a pinky nude, best used as a base for a French manicure. I did not like it. It was just blah and needed a billion coats just to show at all on the nails.  I don't really get why it's part of the Top Ten collection and why people like it so much.  Sorry not for me.

Big Apple Red by OPI

This is a mini from the Top Ten collection, Big Apple Red is a mid toned red cream polish. It's ok, it's a red. That's about as much as I can say. A nice red cream, but nothing to jump up and scream about in my opinion.



It applied easily, two coats and it was opaque.  I wouldn't recommend you run out and buy this one, but a mid toned red cream is always good to have in your collection.

Alpine Snow by OPI

This mini polish is part of the Top Ten OPI mini collection I was bought as a Christmas present.  Alpine Snow is a cream white polish, a bit like Tippex on the nails.  I am not a huge white fan for that reason but whites are useful to have as a base for glitters or for French manicures.



The mini polishes are more difficult to apply the then full size bottles but other than this is a good white to apply. Opaque in two coats which is unusual for a white polish.
