The polish scent reminded me a bit of pear drops – weird! Anyway I found that I needed 3 coats with each of these shades, but gave 4 to be on the safe side. Out of the 2 I think Mermaid's Tears was probably the more opaque one, even though they had the same amount of coats in the end – I just think you could possibly get away with 2 thicker coats if you were in a rush with this.
Drying time was very reasonable and they do seem to last well on the nail – even without topcoat! Also I’d say that whilst the photos show quite true to colour, they’re possibly just a little murkier in real life... nothing too drastic though, in my opinion.

I like the names of the colours i think my favourite is mermaid's tears
ReplyDeleteThe promotional image for Stranger Tides is so deceiving, it is way more green than the bottle. I will hopefully be getting both of these, I love green.
ReplyDeleteBeauty Shades - Me too, the names are great!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - Yes it is more green than I expected too, but it is still very nice indeed.
I love Stranger Tides! Do you know when these will be released? Great blog btw :)
