Sally Hansen’s Platinum Star

Very pretty silver metallic…with an unfortunate tendency to show brushstrokes, and to pull a bit at the edges. I don't know if thicker coats are an answer, or if this will be best used for nail art rather than manicures. China Glaze's Millenium has this spreadability problem as well,...

Aromaleigh v2’s Diapha glow powder

BareMinerals’ Marvelous Moxie in Get Ready

Straightforward mauve creme with fairly good staying power - this lasts slightly longer than NYX's Black Radiance lipsticks, and applies much more smoothly. Like the other lipsticks in this line, it's VERY creamy, but also has more of a tendency to feather and bleed than most other lipsticks I've used....

Meow Cosmetics’ Elizabeth S

BareMinerals’ In A Jam

Released in the LOL II kit, and briefly (very briefly) part of the regular line. The color payoff is fairly good, and the overall color is nice, if a tiny bit on the brighter side - but not so bright that it's outright obnoxious. Think of this as the color...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Cheshire Cat

Shiro Cosmetics’ Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees

Reminds me - slightly - of Aromaleigh's Twinkling Lights. This has a slightly deeper green base, though. The red and gold shimmer are more sparse in comparison. The color payoff is good, though - you effectively get a good deep green shadow with a sparse warm shimmer.

Del Sol’s Island Fever

Not my favorite color ever. The vendor site says that this color will be medium green, and turn darker green when exposed to sun. All I saw was a brown, with a green pearl interference layer. That's after four coats. So possibly this will only look good if applied over...

OPI’s Goldeneye

This is a top-coat…sort of. The glitter is thick enough that if I apply four coats, I get full coverage. (Another plus? Since it's a glitter polish, touch-ups are pretty easy and blend in very well.)

Zoya’s Sharon (Peter Som)

This color never made it to Zoya's regular lineup. If you're looking for a softer mid-orange creme polish, the closest you'll come in Zoya's lineup is Arizona. (Or, if you're looking for something brighter, Thandie.)
