    My first review at Makeup Alley - I joined to read if the performance I got from this polish was typical. The answer to that is: Yes. Oh, how I wish I'd read these reviews before buying this...

    This is a sheer blue polish that would be ideal for layering as opposed to applying on its own. It has a thick brush for easy application. After applying two layers and letting it dry, I noticed...

    This polish is a sheer navy base with blue and green hex glitter and blue microglitter. I layered it over OPI's Venice the Party? and it's beautiful! I didn't have any issues with the formula. The...

    Horrible, the pigment was EXTREMELY low and almost transparent! The price was RIDICULOUS and it takes FOREVER to dry! I applied four coats last night and it's been a few hours and it's still wet....

    I LOVE this color. It's my new favorite! I apply 3 coats of Combustible ( also, Miracle Gel), 2 coats of Mermaid's Tale, and 1 coat of topcoat. Allow each coat to dry to touch. I've had no trouble...

    In a word, nope. While it looks pretty in the bottle, applying this was like trying to spread bubble gum throughout my nails. The glitter pieces stuck together, and the polish itself just...

    I tried Deborah Lippmann's "Across The Universe" at Sephora and fell in love with it, but just couldn't justify spending $19 on a bottle of nail polish. I Googled dupes for it and found out about...

    The color and the shimmer look beautiful in the bottle, but not so when applied. You will need at least two coats for the color to be solid, but the giant glitters cake up a lot. It takes a whole...

    such a pretty colour in such a terrible formula. Aargh!!! doesn't apply evenly, the big glitter particles don't even lie flat on your nails when applied + the finish is really dull. wouldn't recommend

    This stuff looks awesome in the magazine ads but is just a $9 bottle of clear polish with blue glitter chunks in it. I haven't been this disappointed in a long time. It only gets one lippie...

    This is supposedly a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's "Across the Universe," so I picked it up today to try it out. Let it be known that I don't own AtU, so I can't compare the two. Mermaid's Tale...
