Honey Ryder - champaign gold glitter texture. It's a pretty and office-friendly shade which I liked wearing. It applied easily and two coats were enough for full coverage.

Jinx - orange-coral base with gold glitter. The finish is very sparkly and bright, perfect for Summer! Two coats were enough for full coverage and the polish applied very nicely.

Pussy Galore - light baby pink base with fine fuchsia glitter. It's a gorgeous girly shade with blue undertones. Pussy Galore felt smoother to touch than some other Liquid Sands. It had good and easy to apply formula and I needed just two coats for full coverage.

Solitaire - pearl silver white with silver glitter. Solitaire is very sparkly and not overly gritty. It applied well and I'm wearing two coats.

Tiffany Case - aqua blue base with silver glitter. This is my favourite of al the Bond Girls shades, I love how sparkly it is and the bigger silver glitter nicely stands out. I'm wearing two coats that were fully opaque.

Vesper - eggplant purple jelly base with black glitter. The colour is very dark and rich in real life, my pictures don't seem to capture the true beauty of this polish. I've applied to thicker coats for full coverage.

I feel that this collection of Liquid Sand texture polishes have much improved if compared to Mariah Carey collection. The finish is gritty but not too sharp. They all applied easily and were opaque in two coats. The drying time was rather average. The polishes look dry and gritty within 5 minutes but they are not truly hardened so be careful in the next approximately 30 minutes.

The removal is similar to glitters so let them soak properly otherwise the glitter particles stick to the skin. All polishes also look very nice wit topcoat but you'll need at least two thick coats.

Hello lovelies,

I've got here more of the gorgeous Shimmer polishes! I've you've missed previous reviews, check them out here.

Alessandra - red, orange, green, turquoise and silver glitter in a lightly tinted red jelly. This one is truly great for layering but could be worn alone but you would probably need three coats. I've applied Alessandra over white and as you can see, the tinted base changed the colour to light pink. it applied very easily and there's plenty of glitter in the bottle. One coat provided very good amount of glitter. It dried fast and slightly gritty.

Carol - blue, copper, gold, silver holo and black in clear base. I have applied one coat of Carol over OPI Hands Off My Kielbasa!. The glitter pay-off is again very good and I didn't have to position the bigger glitters. It applied well and dried fast, it has good formula.

Melissa - gold, blue, red glitter in a clear base. Here I have applied one coat of Melissa over Clinique Grape Ice and A England Camelot. The change of the base colour nicely shows off the different glitter colours. The formula is the same as the other shades - easy to apply, fast drying and with plenty of glitter. Melissa would be easy to wear alone as well as the glitter is dense.

Rochelle - red, gold and holo glitter in a clear base. This polish reminds me tanned skin and holiday :) I've applied one coat over OPI My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! The glitter is dense and applies well. iit dries quite smooth but I always use topcoat.

Jasmine - turquoise, blue and gold glitter in a clear base. Gorgeous mixture of colours, it looks great layered over so many colours! Here I've layered it over a white nail polish (OPI Alpine Snow). It applied very easily and dried fast.
