From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
✅ Fun Lacquer "Jingle Bells" - This took 4 coats as it's very sheer. It did dry quite quickly though feels a bit rough without a top coat. It is so sparkly in real life, looks like fire. Keeping it.
✅ Sally Hansen Miracle Gel "Jingle Red Rock" - This took 2 coats. It has a wide brush and dries quick, have to be careful applying as it seems to dry when putting on. Can slightly see the brush strokes though. Another keeper.
✅ Revlon Scented "Mon Cherry" - This was 2 coats though it looked good with 1. The brush is skinny but it still applies well. It no longer has much of a scent as I've had it a long time. Keeping it.
✅ Floss Gloss Ltd "Gangsta Boo" - This again was 2 coats but looked ok with 1. It's a little awkward to apply with the bottle being small though. Keeping for now.
❌ Nails Inc "Victoria & Albert" - I used 2 coats and there was still a slight patch. It has a slim brush so a bit trickier to get a fully smooth finish. I'll be getting rid of this one.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
✅ Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine "Blood Orange" - This was 2 coats though looked decent with 1. It does have a skinny brush and dries a bit slowly but it has a nice glossy finish. Keeping it.
✅ NCLA "Rush Hour" - This looked really good with just 1 coat though I used 2 for the swatch. It dries quickly too. Definitely keeping.
❌ NCLA "Friends" - This was 2 coats though looked ok with 1. It's a bit of a thicker formula that dried more slowly than the previous NCLA polish so unfortunately I'll let this one go.
✅ China Glaze "Y'all Red-y For This?" - This was 2 coats that went on really well, even with a long skinny brush. It has a nice subtle shimmer running through it. Keeping this one.
❌ W7 "Red Dazzle" - This took 2 coats that dried slowly. Unfortunately it has dried up a lot in the bottle but I think it is a super pretty and opaque glitter polish so I will definitely add it to my rebuy list.
Destash total = 3/10

From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
❌ Revlon "Sorbet" - This took 4 coats and still had some slight patches. It's quite a thin formula but dried slowly. A pretty colour but I'll be parting with this one.
✅ Barry M "Mango" - This was 3 coats. It's a nice creamy formula but can look a little patchy. I'll be keeping this.
❌ Missguided "Missmatch" - This took 4 coats and again still looked a bit patchy. It's a thin formula and has a skinny brush. It looks so similar to the previous Barry M one so I'll be getting rid of it.
✅ Nine Zero Lacquer "Jack-O-Lantern Juice" - This took 2 coats for a decent coverage. You do have to place the bigger chunks of glitters but it dries pretty quickly. I like the effect so I'll be keeping.
✅ Models Own "Tropical Sun" - This took 4 coats as it is a very thin formula, it would look a lot better over a coloured base. It dried quite slowly and you can see brushstrokes a bit but I think it's pretty so I'll keep it a bit longer.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
✅ Barry M "Papaya" - This is my 2nd swatch of this colour. It was 2 coats but there were still some little patches. This bottle has a wider brush than the previous one so I'll keep it.
✅ Crabtree & Evelyn "Clementine" - This was 2 coats. It went on quite well and has a very subtle shimmer to it. Definitely keeping.
✅ Rimmel "Instyle Coral" - This took 3 coats and still looked a little patchy. It does have a nice wide brush and is a thin formula. I do really like the colour though so I'll keep it for now.
❌ George (at Asda) "Peach Crush" - This was 2 coats and applied quite well. Unfortunately it has gone quite thick in the bottle so wouldn't have much use left so I will be getting rid of it.
✅ Sally Hansen "So Much Fawn" - This was 2 coats that went on nicely. It has a wide brush and a nice creamy, smooth finish. Another keeper.
Destash total = 3/10

From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
✅ Nails Inc Mindful Manicure "Future's Bright" - This was 2 coats. It had a nice coverage that went on smooth. Wide brush too. Definitely keeping.
❌ Ciate "Ivory Queen" - This was 3 coats as there were still patches with 2. It went on smooth but dried slowly. It is a pretty colour but I will be parting with it.
✅ Models Own "Peach Icing" - This took 2 coats that dried a bit slowly. There was still a slight patch but it looked ok overall. I'll keep this one.
❌ W7 "Sheer Peach" - This was 2 coats though it did still have a patch. It had a strong smell and dried quite slowly so I'll be getting rid of it.
✅ Nails Inc "Bloomsburg Street" - This was 2 coats for a good coverage. It dried ok and looked quite smooth. I'll be keeping.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
✅ Lauren B. Beauty "Coral Canyon" - I used 2 coats but 3 might have looked a bit better as it didn't apply completely smooth. Dries a little slowly but it's a pretty colour so I'll keep for now.
❌ Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine "Papaya" - This was 2 coats but there were still some little patches. I have 2 of this polish which I've swatched separately without realising so I'll get rid of this one.
✅ China Glaze "Flip Flop Fantasy" - This took 2 coats. It dried fast and with a matte finish. Only downside is it has a skinny brush so a bit tricky to get smooth, but it's so bright! Keeping it.
✅ W7 "Sunstone" - This was 2 coats. The brush is ok and it went on smoothly so another keeper.
✅ Nailmatic "June" - This took 3 coats for a good coverage as it has a jelly look but is also creamy. It has a wide brush and dried well. Keeping it.
Destash total = 3/10

From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
✅ Rimmel "Sherbet Sweetheart" - This has a wide brush and took 2 coats for a good coverage, it's gone a bit thicker with age. I like that it has glitters mixed in so I'll be keeping it for now.
❌ Sally Hansen "Sweetie" - This took 2 coats and did dry pretty quickly but it went on patchy. I don't really use plain textured polishes now so I'll be getting rid.
✅ Nails Inc "Seven Dials" - This took 3 coats as it had quite a thin formula though it has a nice wide brush. I think the colour is pretty so I'll be keeping.
✅ Sally Hansen "Hue" - This looked ok with 2 coats but I used 3 to get full coverage. It has a skinny brush and a thin formula that dried quite slowly but I think it's an interesting looking polish. I'll be keeping for now.
✅ Models Own "Luis Lemon" - This should be used over a white base as it took 3 coats for the swatch and I could still see my nail. It did dry pretty quickly and had a satin finish. I'll keep it to try again.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
❌ Revlon "Study Date" - This is meant to be for nail art so might be why it was quite thick and went on unevenly. I used 2 coats to get a decent coverage and it dried very slowly and still looked a bit streaky/lumpy. I have other polishes that I can use to create the same effect so I will be getting rid.
✅ Lauren B. Beauty "Nude No. 1" - This took 3 coats to get an ok coverage. It has a very thin formula which looked streaky when applying. I don't have another pale yellow though so I'll keep it for now.
❌ HJ Manicure "Lace" - This also took 3 coats to get a decent coverage. It has a thin formula but applied smoothly. It dried very slowly, even after a couple of hours it dented easily. I will be parting with it.
✅ Barry M "Mustard" - This took 2 coats. It went on nicely and dried well, looked very shiny even before the topcoat. Another keeper.
✅ Models Own "Goose" - This took 3 coats for the swatch. The polish is thin and still looked patchy but I do really like these Speckled Eggs polishes so I will keep it a bit longer.
Destash total = 3/10

From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
✅ W7 "Silver Chrome" - This had a pale bronze look in the bottle but went more silver on the nail. It was ok with 1 coat but did 2 to try and smooth out the brushstrokes. I'll keep it for now.
❌ Beautique London (by B&M) "unnamed light gold glitter" - This was 2 coats that dried slowly. It was ok but the Orly next to it was very similar and I prefer the shade of that one so I'll be parting with this.
✅ Orly "Luxe" - This applied well with 1 coat but I used 2 for the swatch. It dried ok and went on smoothly. A keeper.
✅ Nails Inc Special Effects "Farringdon Crackle Topcoat" - This was 1 coat over a clear base. I don't use crackle top coats really anymore but felt this had a bit more interest to it with it being a metallic gold. I'll keep this a bit longer.
✅ OPI "50 Years of Style" - This one had a nice wide brush, it took 2 coats for a good coverage though you could still see some brushstrokes. I'm keeping this one too.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
✅ W7 "Bronze Chrome" - This took 2 coats and you could still see brushstrokes. It was a similar shade to the Models Own one on the middle finger but I feel this looked nicer on the nail so I'll be keeping this one.
✅ Beautique London (by B&M) "unnamed light bronze glitter" - This was 2 coats that dried slowly but I did like the colour and the shimmer it had. I'll be keeping this a bit longer.
❌ Models Own "Chrome Rose" - This looked ok with 1 but I used 2 to try and get rid of brushstrokes but you could still see them. It did dry quickly and I actually owned 2 of this polish but I will be parting with it.
✅ Sally Hansen "Gilded Lily" - I used 3 coats of this polish and it was still not fully opaque but it looks very sparkly on the nail and could be used over a coloured base for a nice effect. Keeping this.
✅ Zoya "Goldie" - This was 2 coats but again you could see some brushstrokes. It's the most golden shade I own so I'll be keeping it.
Destash total = 2/10

From thumb to pinkie on photo 1:
✅ W7 "Nude" - Used 3 coats of this and there were still slight patches. I do like the subtle pink/purple shimmer in it though so I will keep it for now.
✅ Barry M Coconut Infusion "Tiki Hut" - This looked ok with 1 coat but I used 2 to smooth out more. It dried quickly, I'll be keeping.
✅ Models Own "Nude Beige" - Again this looked ok with 1 coat but I used 2 for the swatch, also dried quite quickly. Keeping this one too.
✅ Painted Polish "Blushing Ballerina" - This took 3 coats to be opaque as it is a bit sheer. It's a textured polish and prettier in real life. I'll be keeping this one.
✅ Barry M Silk "Truffle" - This looked ok with 1 coat but had very slight patches so used 2. It did dry a little slower but the finish is very pretty. Keeping it.
From thumb to pinkie on photo 2:
❌ Color Club "Gold Struck" - This was 2 coats and it is a pretty light gold colour but you can see brushstrokes so easily. I'll be parting with this one.
❌ Beautique London (by B&M) "unnamed pale nude/gold" - This polish had quite an unpleasant smell but it is a very nice colour. It took 2 coats that dried slowly. I'll be getting rid of this one too.
✅ Gosh "Frosted Gold" - This was quite good with 1 coat but I used 2 for the swatch. It's a textured polish with some bigger chunks of glitter in so it's an interesting one. I'll be keeping.
❌ Sally Hansen Miracle Gel "Sleigh All Day" - This was 2 coats that again dried a bit slower. Seeing this polish in the bottle vs on the nail just makes me feel a bit disappointed so I'll unfortunately be parting with this one too.
✅ W7 "Golden Shimmer" - This took 3 coats to be opaque and it did dry quite slowly but I love the red glitters mixed in with it so I'll be keeping it.
Destash total = 3/10

I meant to post this ages ago, have loads that I never got around to putting up so they're all a bit old now. :-|
