Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color - Burgundy Frost Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in artificial light

I'm really liking Wet N' Wild polishes. I picked up their black one and it's true. It is a solid one coater. Anyway, Burgundy frost is surprisingly brick red! However I'm not a huge fan of their bottle design which causes some serious application issues. The bottle holds 12.3ml of polish.

Color Dose Nail Lacquer - Bridal Maroon Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in indirect sunlight

So this post is more of a mini review, as I'm fairly certain that this particular polish has been discontinued, but it's such a beautiful shade I thought I'd write up a post on it anyway. I'm looking for dupes, so if any of you can suggest any good one then pleeeeease do leave a comment!!

Jaquline USA One Stroke Premium Nail Enamel - Heat Wave J16 Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in sunlight

This is my first nail polish from Jaquline USA. I was in NewU to buy some stuff and couldn't resist picking this shade. Based on the bottle and the small swatch the store clerk applied on my nail I thought it would be a good dupe for my favourite maroon - golden wine from Avon. Sadly that wasn't the case.

Stay Quirky Nail Polish - Maroon Plum 874 Swatch & Review

3 coats + top coat + clear coat in sunlight

Stay Quirky's oddly named polish in the shade Maroon Plum is neither Maroon nor plum :D. The bottle holds 8ml of polish.

Stay Quirky Nail Polish - Mauve Colour Rub 78 Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in sunglight

Stay Quirky's Mauve Colour Rub, unlike its name, is a gorgeous cranberry/burgundy nail polish with very fine red micro shimmer. The bottle holds 6ml of polish. That's tiny!!! I actually bought a second bottle of this polish as I loved the first one so much. You know I have to say, I kinda like the tiny bottle. You have a good chance of finishing off the bottle, before the polish gets gloopy.

Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Polish - Scarlet Red Swatch & Review

3 coats + top coat in sunlight

Lakme Absolute's Scarlet Red is a beautiful deep red polish with a gel finish. The bottle holds 15ml of polish.

China Glaze - Just Be Claws Swatch & Review

2 coats over black, with top coat

China Glaze Just Be Claws is a gorgeous red with micro shimmer. On the nails, the polish gives off a beautiful metallic finish, almost like a Christmas theme wrapping paper. Not surprising, as this is a polish from their 2013 Christmas collection. You can still find this polish on websites online and I was so glad I bought this shade.

Avon Nailwear Pro+ - Golden Wine Swatch & Review

Avon Golden Wine, 3 coats with top coat

Avon Golden Wine is one of my absolute favourites in terms of colour. Nonetheless, the polish comes with it's own set of issues.
