I have purchased "seaside". The nail polish goes on opaque in 2 coast. I use the base and a top. I get a lot of compliments all the time!!! The nail polish lasts a long time and I do a lot with my hands as a stay at home mom. I have 2 small kids and wash my hands constantly. This picture was taken on day 5 on me wearing it. As you can see it looks like I just painted them!!! Highly recommend.
