I was a bit dissapointed by this George. It is a neon orange cream, but it's not quite neon, because the formula was just like on a cream, drying time also, and application.
That was not the dissapointement though. The thing about this polish is that it wears badly, it has tip wear and small chips in two days. It also get scratched and even with the top coat on, I simply don't understand that.
But I guess for the price it retails for, it's worth it.
This is two coats:

George - Superhero
And I decided to try another George polish. This one is a classic fire red cream.
I like the shade of red this is, but the application was a drag, I don't know why, maybe it's the brush, but I had lots of clean up to do afterwards, and I really don't do clean up usually.
I applied two coats and drying was super fast, and I had no shrinking. So that's a plus.
The price on these is like 1£ I think, and I got it from my friend Caroline from Caroline does nails!
On top I applied CND's Red Sparkle:

George - Indigo Dazzle
I am seriously loving these George polishes. This one is a duochrome goodness a bit like royal velvet from Orly, I'm not sure but I think they are very similar, maybe even dupes.
So application was perfect, formula is good, and the brush is ok, not great, but ok.
It needed two coats to be opaque, and on top I added a matte finish from Essence.

George - Raincloud and Jackpot
Today I tested out my first George Polish, that I got in my package from Caroline over at Caroline does nails and I chose a light cream gray to be the first one.
I think these are sold in the UK in the Asda stores, for 1£.
The bottles are cute, and the brush is ok, the formula is great, and the application also, goes on smoothly, and for a cream it was pretty opaque in one coat. With a little willpower I could have gotten away with one coat.
Since this colour doesn't do anything for my skin tone, I thought I'd spice it up, and added a second George polish, which is a small silver glitter, called Jackpot. And at the end I added a design from my Bundle Monster BM 05 plate with special Konad polishes. By the way, the new Bundle Monster plates are out and you can buy them for 21,99$ here. I have already ordered them, and the delivery to France is 4$.
Here are the photos:
