I got this at TJ max for 3.99. It is the most beautiful color I have ever applied to my nails!!! I am very happy with it!

I don't own this polish, but I chose it for my toes at my most recent pedicure. It's so very pretty on my darker skin (I'm an NW45). Looks feminine but not over the top girly. Super pretty. Coordinates very well with my manicure, for which I'm wearing OPI's OPI Por Favor color. Highly recommend both for darker skin tones. It's a true pink, but not too much pink. Since it's OPI, I have no doubt that the polish will last for 2-3 weeks at least (plus - my nail place gives the best pedicures that tend to last a very long time anyway). OPI polishes always wear super-long, and it's absolutely worth spending a couple of extra bucks on this polish line.

This kind of color is way out of my comfort zone - I usually only wear nude or sheer pinks (when I wear them at all) but I was intrigued when I saw swatches of SMtD online. I agree with the other reviews that this is a difficult color to describe. I would say it is a dusty mid-toned bubblegum pink. In dim lighting it looks more dusty and muted, and bright lighting pulls the lilac undertones and it looks more lively. I think it is a really unique pink, and it works well on my cool toned skin. The formula is a bit streaky, but not that bad. Three coats evens it out completely, but you could get away with two if you apply carefully or wear glitter (or silver shatter!) over it. I got this as part of the PotC mini collection, and I don't know if I would purchase the large size since I don't wear this type of color very often. But I definitely rec. this color to pink lovers - it is easy to wear since it is bright and muted at the same time :)

I personally think the formula is fine but the colour just does not work with my NC43 skin

A classmate let me barrow this color from her for a week. I had saw it on her nails. I thought it was a relatively nice colors, so she lent it to me. To be honest, this was SO HARD TO CONTROL!! I used an appropiate amount on the brush, and it was so runny it kept pooling all over my skin, and deep inside my mangled cuticles ( yes I bite the sides of my nails ) which made it look shriveled, and built up and crunchy on the sides ( if you get what im talking about ). Let me not even mention how STREAKY it was. It was so streaky and left bald spots in various places. By the second coat, it was okay. But I just removed it, and put on L.A. Colors Tropical Breeze since im not even really into nuetrals to begin with. I gave back to my friend the very next. Won't buy it. Too expensive for ONE nail polish, and it was just too much of a pain in the ass to apply, and control.

It appears that I am still on the mission to find the "perfect pink". While I do like how long my fingers look with this polish on, that's about it. The application was a bit fussy, a bit goopy, not particularly thick or thin and it yielded bald patches after two generous coats. I think the purple undertones are competing with my current skintone. I had a similar situation with essie's Splash of Grenadine. I'll have to wait til I get a little bit of summer color before I make decision of to keep or to donate this bottle.

It's a no. I bought this as part of the Pirates of the Caribbean minis set. I find the formula pretty awful - very streaky. I really needed 3 coats to get it even, and would have done 4 if I had no shame. The colour is just not special enough for that sort of effort. I have a suspicion it might be a colour that doesn't really satisfy anyone - it's not bright enough and not subtle enough and just middle of the road boring.

Gorgeous color. "barbie" and "nicki Minaj" pops up when I look at this color. On my nails, it's a warm pink with a purple undertone to it. Its def a dusty color. Formula isnt too runny nor too thick. I personsally love the wide brush. I used opi's natural base coat, 2 coats of this polish and 2 coats of opi's top coat. Def would repurchase!

I received this as part of the Pirates mini collection. In the bottle I wasn't overly impressed and it collected dust for a while. But after using it for the first time on my toes I started liking it! The color is a bubble gum pink with a hint of blue undertones. Reminds me of Pepto Bismo lol!
At three coats it was mostly opaque, though a little streaky (possibly due to the small, thin brush). But against my NW15 fair skin it just wasn't *popping* enough for me. So I added OPI Teenage Dream (a pink glitter and rainbow scattered holo) and the effect isn't juvenile as it may sound. They went beautifully together, and I adore the way the small holo pieces catch the light. I have also successfully used this with OPI Princesses rule a sheer light pink packed with glitters.
On it's own I find it slightly boring, but with added effects it is pretty. Wear time was typical of OPI polishes, lasting around 3-4 days before minor chipping when using a top/base coat. I would repurchase, unless I fin a pink with a better formula.

This is my favourite pink nail polish! It goes with almost anything. It is bright but at the same time doesn't scream look at me. It is mellow enough to be worn to work yet not boring. It always catches my eye.
I've purchased mini set 1st and fell in love with this shade so much that I had to buy a full size.
Two coats gave me good coverage. 1st coat was a bit streaky but 2nd one evened it out.

I found the formula of this to be pretty great. It had a slightly thicker formula and applied evenly/smooth/opaque with two coats. The colour is fabulous. It's a blue-toned bright pink, but slightly dusty and "muted" so it doesn't scream "Barbie pink" to me. I love this colour and works great for my medium skintone.

I honestly love this color. It's the perfect pink that is toned down and is really cute on. Some people are finding the formula hard to work with - in my opinion the formula is REALLY good compared to other polishes. I can pull of 1 coat if I wanted to since the colors really pigmented but always do two coats as I want the perfect opaque color.

This polish is the perfect wearable "Barbie" pink on my NC45/50 skintone and short nails. Reminds me a lot of something Nicki Minaj would wear, but somewhat toned down to be suitable for a DDD that isn't starring in a million-dollar music video. Not bright or garish, just surprisingly pretty in an expected way. The 'dusty' tones that I see on the bottle aren't evident on my nails. Overall I'm pleasantly surprised that this polish worked on my skintone.

Not a nice formula (as the other 3 in the line), it's streaky and I need to reapply 2-3 times.
Even though it looked good in the bottle - my mistake for not trying it on first cos it looks really wrong on me. Definitely not gonna get this again. I think from now onwards I'll still to more neutral colors for OPI, they work better in neutral colors.

Great color for my olive skin. A nice pink that didn't look too soft not to notice, but not tacky, either! Used this color when I had a manicure done and went out and bought it after for myself!

Two coats and it's completely opaque. Not quite a Barbie pink but I wouldn't say it looks dusty at all with my super pale skin and it's not over the top because it doesn't have shimmer. A pretty every day type of shade.

I LOVE this color. It's like a Barbie pink, but dusty, with maybe just a hint of lavender. Formula is great, lasts a long time with topcoat, and is very flattering against my skin. Really can't get enough!

I am loving this pink: it's kind of a cross between Barbie pink and a mod 1960's Pepto-Bismol pink. Definately different from the other pinks in my polish collection. I got this as part of the mini Pirates of the Caribbean OPI set. Opaque, non-streaky, creamy finish in two coats.

I have MINI version of this one and I LOVE IT! Its cute pinky but in some light it looks more neutral-nude and I love it. Consistency and brush arent perfect, I think it might be because its mini. despite it I loove it! On toes lasts super long with top coat!

This is a pretty color but with my cool pale skin it sort of blends in and in the spring/summer I'm looking for some UMPH on my nails! It does have all the great qualities of an OPI polish but I won't be purchasing again.
