I truly can't remember if this gorgeous blue was opaque in 1 or 2 coats and no longer have it nearby to check. Either way, it was lovely, and stood up well to the gold foil treatment - especially matte.

This was a decent-coverage suspended glitter polish. It was difficult to capture the gold sparkle on camera, so the photos are unfortunately underwhelming.

This is actually opaque in 1 coat, I just applied a second to smooth out my brushstrokes.

I really like the final look of this one but not the fact that it takes 3 coats.  I guess I can't always get my way with polish, huh? :)

This is one I've had for a number of years (this brand isn't made/sold anymore here) and I held on to it because I hadn't tried it yet.  Now I have, and can safely send it on to another good home.

I wanted something sheer for a change and liked the fact that this looks different depending on lighting and viewing angle.

I have actually worn this one before, but of course was drawn to it again.
