WHAT IS COSTS:
It is slightly expensive, for each bottle it is 12.20 euros (about £9.75) for the mirror effect - and 11.90 euros (about £9.51) for the hologram effect there are 8 shades of each type. you then need to pay for shipment at 30 euros (£23.28) for orders under 80 euros (£63.95) and 15 euros (11.99) for orders above 80 euros.
APPLICATION:
If you spend a certain amount, you get a buffer for free, prepping the nail with a buffer is a must! especially for the mirror nail polish as it picks up flaws! it dries very quickly (even in the cold UK weather!) about 30 to 50 seconds - it also takes about 30 seconds for the nail varnish to settle down and change appearance.
Unfortunately the nail varnish does not really last that long. about a day at the most, and then there is signs of wear at the edges. If top coat is applied it can dull the effect but it will last a bit longer, a gel top coat seems to work well.

At first I was excited about the mirror effect nail varnish however it does not really reflect like a mirror - it is just a bit more metallic than most nail varnishes. The best shade of the mirror polish is black ebony:
