Essie School of Hard Rocks

Essie School of Hard Rocks from the 2011 Winter Collection (mini size)

The color in this picture is pretty accurate; it's a soft, dusty teal cream with a lot of grey to it, giving it that muted look.  A slightly less vibrant version of  OPI Ski Teal We Drop.  They are actually pretty similar, and I kinda wish that I hadn't bought both, but this one is a mini, so it won't be hard to use up.  I actually only bought this one for the name, and for the dorkiest reason possible.  You won't be able to guess, it's that bad.  Okay *sigh*... There's a Pokemon episode called School of Hard Knocks, because a lot of Pokemon episodes are based off of other sayings, and the like.  Yes. I'm a nerd. And proud of it! Erm, little bit of a tangent there.  This color is nice, completely opaque in 2 or 3 coats, don't remember, though.  It's a little bit watery, but not bad, and it does benefit from a topcoat.  But I do like the color, and it's a little bit of a chameleon too, changing from greyish to blueish to greenish.  Really gorgeous, but not super unique.

Sinful Colors Hazard

Sinful Colors Hazard

Hazard.  Three thin coats.  It's fairly opaque, but it has a rather thick consistancy.  Would be better with a lot of nail polish thinner.  When I got it, I thought that is was peachish, but it's a lot more orange than that.  It's a lot brighter than my camera is showing.  Not quite a neon, though.  Oh. On the ring finger, I have a coat of Chiaroscuro by China Glaze.  It's a gorgeous color, and is amazing for layering.

China Glaze Four Leaf Clover

China Glaze Four Leaf Clover from the Up & Away collection.

Four Leaf Clover.  2 coats. Okay, this color is nearly impossible to photograph.  It's closer to the bottle picture.  It's a blue toned green, kinda a grass green, and amazingly bright.  Almost neon.  It's very opaque and creamy look that softens the bright tones a wee bit.  If you're a green lover, this is a must have.

OPI Ski Teal We Drop

 OPI Ski Teal We Drop from the 2010 Swiss Collection.

It's a little more green than shown in both of these pictures, and I once again, apologize for my cuticles.  A dusty teal cream, opaque in 2 coats; as shown here.  Nice consistancy.  I also did this nail polish on my toes, and it left them bright yellow.  It was rather disgusting.  And I am nearly certain that I used a base coat, so if you use this color on your nails, don't leave it on too long.
