OPI- Cuckoo For This Color

Well hello everyonee,  IM BACKKKK!!!!! I know you were missing me..SOO, I decided to come back with a bang. This is such an amazing color =)

This is called Cuckoo For This Color by OPI

This polish is from the OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010.  I found this polish at CVS over Easter break from school and I just had to get it.  I also bought OPI Diva of Geneva which I will post next, along with  Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Crushed and Purple Pizzazz =) All in all a very good trip if I do say so myself! This is a blue/teal color with a black undertone.  For this manicure I didn't use any BC, I really don't at all anymore with any of my mani's, they just seem to say in tact for longer this way.

The consistency of this polish was superbbb, nothing I can complain about..NOTHING.

Do any of you have anything from the Swiss Collex? How do you like this polish?

Totally not as expected

I'm disappointed. The polish I used today was such a let down! Its First Blush by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear.  It was SOOO not the color I expected it to be =(

Ok so I'm sure I should have expected this but the color was way too sheer.  This was three coats and you can still see the tips of my nails.  Aside from the color, the application was totally easy, but a little watery. The polish did not stay where I put it, making cleanup take super super long.  On a positive note the polish dried really quick (I even changed my pants right after I painted them and there was no smudging!).  Well, anyway the color is a middle ground between a white and a cream pink.  In my last post I had mentioned that I was on the prowl for a white/pink cream and although that is how I described this color...this is not what I had in mind.  I want something more like this...

See how much different?? Good thing I had this Sally from a few years ago and didn't buy it expecting a specific color. Expect another post in the next few days, I can't stand this color already.
