Nicole By OPI - Me + Blue and Canadian Star

Hello lovelies,

I picked up this duo from TJ Maxx for 5 or 6 bucks, which was a pretty good deal. But if I had my ways, I'd probably only get the one on the right (Canadian Star). 

Anyways, Me + Blue is still a nice color to have. It's a shimmery medium blue with micro holographic glitters. The holo glitters are so little that when I took the pictures, they look like tiny grains of salts, lol, but I assure you that it's not like that in person. They do look holo, just not on my my pictures. I have two coats here and the pigmentation is fairly good and application easy.

Ok so I almost had a heart attack when I swatched the first layer of Canadian Star. I mean just look at it, it looked so watery and sheer, I almost cried. I tried to see how far I could go with the layers until I find happiness.

I did 4 coats in total to reach a good opacity but I wanted to just show you how it looked as I built my layers. So I can honestly say that on the forth layer, I was floored! The result was out of this world that I literally wanted to do back flips, lol. I know 4 layers is a lot of work but I will go the extra mile in some cases. The layers were rather thin cause the formula is thin. The dry time wasn't too bad either for 4 layers. So yes, it's a bit of work but to me that was so worth it. The duochrome is very strong and stunning!

So what do you think? Would you mind 4 coats if you knew you would get this kind of result?
