NYC- Times Square Tangerine

This polish is from the line of standard NYC polishes, which I actually think are great value for a dollar. You can find them at just about every drugstore and massive retailer and cost only $1 USD.  They're great if you need a color and you're out of town, and they are also great gifts for the younger girls in your life.
Times Square Tangerine is a creme finish orange that is not a neon. It is a bright orange, but not the type you would see a deer hunter wearing. The formula is a bit thick and messy, but I do like how it is not streaky like other similar price point polishes.
To do my spider webs, I drew a few straight lines with a black nail art pen on each nail, then went back and drew a few curvy lines horizontally through them.

OPI- Grand Canyon Sunset

This polish is another of the permanent canon of OPI polishes. I'd describe it as a few shades pinker than a true terra cotta with a slight silvery shimmer to it.
The formula is as always, the right balance of thickness and opacity, showing no brushstokes and opaque in one coat, but two are always recommended for wear and integrity. The formula is easy to control, stops where it ought to stop on the nail and dries in a reasonable amount of time.
That being said, I don't think the color is for everyone. Because it is a darker pink and because of the silvery shimmer, I think it would look best on someone paler than me. There would be a greater contrast between their skin and nails, making it stand out. It looks like nothing special on olive skin, but of course it is a good color if you are going for something professional and not flashy.
The OPI permanent lineup runs about $9 USD a bottle, but, Ulta beauty is having a deal where if you buy 2 of them, you get a free topcoat.

Sally Hansen HD- Cyber

This polish is from the HD line of Sally Hansen polishes, originally appearing on shelves in July 2009 and to my knowledge is still available. There are seven colors, all the colors of the rainbow, and the idea is to use liquid crystals (like those used in LCD displays) to create an effect and finish that is difficult to describe. Not really a duochrome, yet not just a shimmery color.
Cyber is the only polish I own from the collection. It is a lovely purple with sort of warmer undertones. I do really like the formula because it is easy to control and relatively thin. However, this means that the opacity is a little less than optimal, requiring several thin coats before your nails are the color in the bottle.
I actually have not seen this collection around lately, but I certainly hope they rotate this one back in again, because let's face it, we're all really tired of the texture topcoats.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush- Glitz Gal

This polish is #8 of 8 in the Gem Crush collection. and definitely my favorite of the ones I own. It consists of small gray glitters in a base of the same color and larger circular holographic glitters that reflect all the colors of the rainbow. The effect is like a dense cluster of stars in a galaxy far, far away...
One thing I think really helps with a glitter nail polish is to put down a coat of a similarly colored non-glitter polish so that you don't have to apply so much glitter to get it to look opaque. However, I don't have a good polish that would match this one, so everything on my nails is glitter. Too much polish on the nail can result in peeling and chipping more quickly than normal, but since this glitter is tough as nails (the hardware variety, not the finger type) this really was not a problem.

Revlon- Posh Pink

This polish is from Revlon's main nail enamel collection. They are normally about $5 USD per bottle. The price is unremarkable, as well as the color. It is a sheer, shimmery pink, which is opaque in about 3 coats. I would really like this color if it were a creme finish, but as a shimmer, it is about as ordinary as a pink nail polish can be.
However, I would like to commend the formula. It is not too thick, not too thin, not messy, easy to control and does not chip easily on the nail. The tip wear is minimal, especially with a topcoat.
Ultimately, I own about 5 or 6 Revlon polishes, and while the formula is really great, the colors are nothing special. In the future, I will look over the colors thoroughly and find something cool before I make a selection.

Sally Hansen- Royal Romance

This polish is from the Diamond Strength line of SH, available at most drugstores and places like Ulta. I have one other from the line, Black Diamonds, which is black with small silver glitters. This color is sort of a muted magenta color, one of those "Fall shades" that men find extremely unsexy but is appropriate and not flashy for the unconfident nail polish wearer.
This is the end of the positive things I have to say about the polish. Several minutes after I applied it, when most polishes are at least dry enough to open bags of cough drops, I ruined four nails trying to open a bag and unwrap one of the cough drops inside. Because I work part time as a prep chef, by the end of the work day most polishes I apply will start to show some minimal tip wear. However, this one just peeled off the nails entirely- basecoat, topcoat and all in places, making me really wonder how much I want another Diamond Strength polish. I really like my other one, Black Diamonds, so I hope that this is just a fluke. It's a very pretty color, just an extremely bad value for the money and the formula.

Sparitual- Hidden Reef

Sparitual is a high-end beauty products brand that specializes in vegan nail color and skincare. I'm not exactly sure what isn't vegan about other beauty brands besides maybe animal testing, but the polish is Vegan, Big 3 (DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde resin) free and about $11-12 USD per bottle. I bought this one at a spa after I had a pedicure done, but I have seen the line at Sephora recently.
We'll start with the packaging. I'm a bit skeptical about how much of an improvement the "plum cap" is supposed to be, but I do find that the bottle is never difficult to open, never gets stuck, and the brush is easy to apply the polish with. The color, "Hidden Reef" is part of the spring 2012 collection, but it is still available online while quantities last. I really like the color because it is shimmery, and not too outrageously red or orange like some coral shades are. It is quick to show tip wear, but overall, the formula isn't streaky, and is just the right thickness and opacity.
I currently own two Sparitual polishes, this one and a red duochrome, and although they are expensive, I would like to try out some more for my collection.
