First off, let me tell you, I bought this as an impulse. I saw it, I needed to buy something, so I grabbed it. I thought, "hey, $.99, I can afford that. AND it's pretty! Almost periwinkle." [I've had some major Periwinkle envy lately.] I immediately swatched it on one of my fingers. Aside from the near "goopyness" of the polish, I became instantly enamored. I love this shade. I love this shade so much that I bragged about it all day before I even got home to apply it. I had already decided that I was going to cut the goopyness down with a healthy dose of thinner.
....Got home, added thinner. By the time I could thin the polish to a consistency that I felt comfortable working with, I ended up applying FOUR coats on my nails to get Bottle Opacity. [I'm wondering why I even bothered.]
It bubbled. A little bit. But they mostly disappeared after the polish settled for a while and I topcoated with my bff Seche.
I'm a bit disappointed - it chipped - overnight - as you can see on the inside tip of my middle finger. And it has just gotten worse as the day has worn on. Granted, I didn't use a base coat of any kind... But I'm still in LOVE with this shade! OMG do I love it! Some times it's dusty grey-blue! Sometimes it's a frosty periwinkle! Seriously, IN LOVE.
[Actual shade is somewhere in between both of the comparison photos.]

Now, if I could just make it work.... :-*
I haven't had much luck with the Wet /n Wild either. I have Blue Moon which is a really neat dark blue and it's very chippy. I used China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat and topped it with Seche too. But for 99 cents it's hard to pass up!
