Thank you! I figured I'd try something out of my comfort zone.

Pictures of my current many: Color Club Ulterior Motive. I applied it on Sunday night and it only had a bit of tipwear by last night, so I decided to add Backstage Pass on top and it resulted in a crazy blingy mani. Got lots of compliments on it today! Still only have minor tipwear which is just as well as it will be a bugger to get off!

Hare Polish Hooky at the Hamlet (index, pinky)
China Glaze Keepin' It Teal (middle, ring, thumb)
The pics don't do this mani justice. It's gorgeous.
The green color is totally off in the pics. If you have either polishes, you know what mean. The green in my pics are washed out and not nearly as vibrant as the color is in person. I think the color could be described as an intense kelly green.
I was shocked to see how thin and watery Keepin' It Teal was after the first stroke. I recall seeing issues mentioned in this thread, but was still surprised by the consistency. I tried dabbing on the polish thickly to make it more opaque. Mistake. I removed it and started over. I then applied 3 thin coats. That worked very well. I got the opaque color I wanted, but it still has its squishy, jelly quality.
Keepin' It Teal matches the base color of Hooky at the Hamlet perfectly. Hooky also has that squishy jelly quality. I love that it has hidden blue glitter specks in it.

I did that today but theres always some nailpolish that seeps onto the cuticles regardless and its like the cuticles absorb it so it becomes difficult to clean off :-/ Like this:
Its like the cuticles on the ringfinger has absorbed the nailpolish and even if i scrub it with a q-tip its terribly difficult to get it off (But it does remove when I just stick my finger in a remover jar so it's not completely IN the cuticles). I've seen some ladies using these very flat stiff brushes and pure acetone, maybe I'll try that. it just feels like that must be harsh on your nails?

oh very pretty ! It's deeper than Across the Universe, I found Across the Universe difficult too, I very often use it over a " base " ( blue ) like Essie Butler please or another one.I'm here, I'm here!
I even have some pics!
DL The Lady sings the Blues. I found this one rather difficult in terms of application, but the result is rather nice!
DL glitter polishes are really to die for !

Lovely!
I've checked all of T's swatches and I'm pretty sure I know what I want, so will just wait until TT launches here next week.
