I have only tried this colour once and was a little disappointed. In the bottle it looks like a jewel teal colour however when I applied it it looked a lot lighter almost like an emerald colour which wasn't what I wanted. After the reviews on here I think I'll have to give it another go and update my review if necessary. I did apply 2 coats but maybe I need an extra coat to add a bit more depth.

Stunning deep shimmery teal blue. Applies w/o streaks with opaque coverage in 2 coats. Lasts 5+ days on me w/o chips, minimal tip wear experienced. Edgy but elegant. Depending on your tone will pull either blue or green, on me, more blue. Just lovely.

Gorgeous colour. I was worried it would turn out dark and just look black, but it definitely didn't. It was clearly teal, a dark teal, but definitely not black. Went on in two coats and wasn't streaky at all.
I'd definitely recommend!

11/10/11 I'm late getting this color and have just put it on for the first time today. I absolutely love it! The first coat had some slight streaks, but the second coat cleaned that right up. The color is even, smooth, a slight shimmer and glossy enough without a topcoat. Just a stunning color. Also, it dried rather quickly. I did hit it with Zoya Fast Drops, but it did set up on its own fairly quick. I am very fair, but not pink fair, just a neutral or slight beige tint to my skin and Cuckoo For This Color looks great against this coloring. I probably would not care for this color if I had a pink tone to my skin. If you are a pastel person this is not for you. I thought it might look similar to Chanel Black Pearl, but nothing like it. I do also love Chanel Black Pearl. They are different enough to have both. I highly recommend this color.

This colour is a favourite in my house. The formula is nice and thick so it's opaque in 2 coats. Lovely colour too; reminds me of peacocks.

I almost screamed when I saw this color. In the store, in your hand it looks amazing. It stays on well and is most likely my fav nailpolish. I don't know if it's only here of everywhere but OPI here is quite expensive. But doesn't matter, it's so worth it.

This is a lovely polish with a nice shimmer to it - dries well with no streaks but IME needs three coats to be fully opaque and can tend to be a bit bald at the very tip of the nail when you've wrapped. Probably not the most fascinating colour in the world but it's a solid performer.

This color is amazing! It's a really pretty deep shimmery teal. The application was so effortless and finish is just perfect. The brush is wide and easy to use. You just need 3 swipes to cover the whole nail and since the brush is flat, it gives you the perfect even finish without laying on extra product. The quality of the polish is amazing. Two coats is all I needed and really one nice and thick coat would probably have sufficed as well. Must have. Perfect combo of great sophisticated color, formula and applicator.

I was giddy when I saw this polish in the store a few months ago. The color is right up my alley in theory, but for some reason I'm not in love with it. I think I'd like it better if it weren't so...shiny? It's almost metallic, and I feel like that aspect takes away from the beauty of the color. If this shade came in a cream formula, I'd be head-over-heels. It's definitely one of my best OPI's in terms of opacity and brush width. I always get tons of compliments when I wear it.

My experience wasn't the best with this polish, but I probably didn' wait long enough between coats because I found it terribly bubbly! It somehow lost its lusture one it dried, but I also didn't use topcoat. I did get quite a bit compliments on the colour though, and read all the positive reviews, so I will be more patient next time and use topcoat, and will have to revisit this review then!

I am normally not much of a shimmer polish girl (I love mattes!), but this colour is stunning! I find the micro-shimmer very subtle and elegant, and remarkably work appropriate.
On my skin tone, this product is definitely more of a pine green than a blue, although I definitely think it leans towards a teal in certain lights. Another big plus is that I only need one coat to achieve the desired colour, and this tends to last nearly a week with minimal to no chipping. On an ego-boost level, every time I wear this colour out I garner at least one compliment on it throughout the day. Just this morning the barista started a conversation about my nails, and she ended up gifting me a free piece of biscotti with my latté! Wicked!! Thanks, OPI! Ha!
Overall, I am a big fan of OPI's Swiss Collection. I would definitely re-purchase, and would certainly give this shade as a gift, as I think it would suit most, if not all, skin tones.

I love this teal-y peacockish blue green. It's deep and dark and gorgeous for toes or an edgy mani. 2 coats of this with 1 thin coat of Catch me in your net over top is DA BOMB!

I love this color! Such a pretty dark blue/green (I'd say it's more green than blue). The shade is super beautiful with a touch of shimmer.
As always with OPI nail polish the quality is fantastic! One coat provides enough coverage and the application is smooth and easy. Staying power is awesome, when using base- and top coat I can easily wear it for a week. This is the perfect blue/green color I've been looking for. Love it! I'm extra happy about the fact that I managed to grab this on sale (50 % discount!).

I get so many compliments on this colour! I wore it over the holidays a lot. It has such great application. If you're in a hurry you could get away with only 1 coat. But I prefer 2. Its also very shiny with a top coat over it.

This is the prettiest green/blue teal color I have ever seen! Just a touch of shimmer, and really amazing shade! You know how some colors look gorgeous then you get them on and the color doesn't flatter you and looks awful? Well this is NOT one of those colors. It's beautiful on the nails- I have it on my fingernails and am in LOVE!
The quality is superb- really pigmented, goes on smoothly and dries quickly.
If you are looking for the perfect January blue/green- this is it!

I am not normally into green polish, but, when I saw this it looked so pretty. I held it up to my hand and looked like it would look nice with my skintone and it does! It applied very well and the finish is great. It has green shimmer in it and it's a very pretty dark evergreen color.

Cuckoo For This Color is a gorgeous dark blue/green with shimmer. On me it looks more green than blue though but it some lights it definitely looks green/blue. I must say I didn't have anything similar to this in my collection so I was more than happy to purchase this unique shade! Application is smooth and I get opaque coverage with 2 coats. This polish lasted about 3 days before I started to get very minimal chipping and was very easy to remove. This is a gorgeous shade for fall and is definitely unique! Also, don't be afraid of this if you have pale skin. I have pale skin and I love wearing dark polish in the fall, and this is certainly not harsh against it. I highly recommend!

I am in love with this new OPI color!!! I just applied 2 coats and it looks amazing!! It's definitely teal on me and also the San Jose Sharks color!! It's OPI so you know it's good stuff.. I find their polishes to last about a week on my nails with their top coat. This is such a great color for fall and winter! I will be wearing it a lot this season :) When I bought this from ULTA there was only 1 left after I bought one. Must be popular with you ladies! And with good reason.. SO HAPPY!

Fabulous color! I'm NC44 and it's beautiful next to my skintone. Two coats gave me great, opaque coverage (the first coat was quite streaky, however). I almost passed this color up so I am very happy to have purchased it.
