Loreal, Luxembourg Garden

Has a wide, rounded flat brush. I find these a bit hard to use as the flatness means the polish dries out quicker when applying. To compensate I overload the brush and then swipe off excess after I have covered the whole nail.
Colour is good, very even. A dark slate grey with a soft forest green metallic pigment.
However has chipped easily and tip wear the following day. Used two coats. Sally Hansen megashine over the top. Without it, the Loreal has a soft shine only.

Arezia (golden sheen peach)

I borrowed one of my cousin's polishes when I was on holiday. It didn't have a code number. Arezia are fashion colours in tiny bottles sold in Sasa stores in HK, Singapore, Malaysia etc.
This one is so pretty. A mid peach with a beautiful golden sheen. In some light it will look completely gold. So easy to apply. I did three coats to get coverage though and to hide streaking.

Wet n Wild - 224C The Wonder Yellows




I think I have actually blogged this one before. However I'm currently painting all my yellows and golds, so went back to this one for a second go. This was sent over by my lovely friend, Jeff. It's a bright, sunny yellow pearl. Easy to paint on but the brush is a little bristly.

Yes, it does streak, for those who dislike streaky frosts. Also I only did two coats so you can see it is not very opaque.

Been fairly chip resistant so far. :)
