Words can't express how impressed I was by Polish Envy's polishes! It's a big call, but they'd have to be my new favourite nail polish brand, the quality and formula of each polish was perfect. They were the longest lasting polishes I've ever used, I literally tried hacking at my nail to see if the polish would chip and it didn't budge. The colours were so unique, and affordable. They're also 5 Free, which means I can wear their polishes without the worry of any nasty chemicals. I highly recommend these polishes, you should definitely check out Polish Envy's website.

Coral Colours Review

Coral Colours first launched its colour cosmetics range in 1989. Since then, we have continued to be a major part of the Australian pharmacy business supporting Australian and New Zealand pharmacies exclusively. We are proudly Australian owned with our corporate headquarters based in Melbourne.

First up I have "Shroom", an elegant nude polish. This polish was opaque in three easy coats. Shroom applied smoothly to the nail, however I had to put in more effort to make the polish level, compared to usual. I love the brush of this polish, it makes applying so much easier! The formula was a little thinner than I would've liked, but other than that it was flawless.
I always love a good nude polish, they don't pop right in your face but they're still slightly noticeable, perfect for everyday wear.
You can find this polish on Coral Colours' website, or in selected pharmacists for $5.95.

Next I have "Pixie Dust", a gorgeous apricot orange polish with a stunning shimmer. This polish was opaque in two easy coats. Pixie Dust applied smoothly to the nail and self levelled well. Applying this polish was effortless, courtesy of the amazing formula and brush size. It also dried very quickly.
This colour will definitely be worn many times throughout this spring and summer, it reminds me of the pretty blossoms that bloom throughout spring.

Next I have "Spellbound", a cardinal red with a stunning shimmer. This polish was opaque in ONE thick coat. Spellbound applied smoothly to the nail and self levelled well. Application was effortless, courtesy to the flawless brush size and formula. It also dried very quickly. 
I was so impressed that this polish was completely opaque in one coat, one coaters are so hard to find nowadays!

Application was effortless, courtesy to the flawless brush size and formula. It also dried very quickly. This polish was quite a bit thicker than the others, but it didn't effect the application at all.

Coral Colours have highly impressed me, yet again! This round of polishes included two one coaters, which is very uncommon. I also just found out that their products are cruelty free (they aren't tested on animals), which made me love their polishes even more than before! The formula of each polish was flawless, and the brush sizes were perfect. Each of these polishes were also long lasting and had a glossy finish! 
My favourite polish out of these 5 would have to be Pixie Dust, what's your favourite?
