This is a beautiful green. I am very pale and it compliments my skin tone better than any other green I have tried. It goes on smooth and creamy, and turns opaque in two-three coats. I am sad that this is a limited edition color. I would buy it again if they sold it year round.

This is a nice seafoam green. This is a straight creme polish with a smooth even formula.

I love this shade. One of my fav colors is aqua green and I love mermaid themed things so I had to have this. It's a very pretty polish and is opaque after 2 coats but with 3 coats it's even prettier. If you like For Audrey or Mint Candy Apple I'd suggest you give this shade a try also. It's a perfect beachy summer shade but still works all year long too.

This has been one of my absolute favorite polishes since I bought it. The formula is slightly gloopy and between that and the pro wide brush it's very easy to put too much on at once and get it on your finger if you're not careful. This color also looks amazing with the silver shatter top coat that's meant to go with the Pirates collection. I'm obsessed with it.

I love this color although it's on the thick side and is kinda streaky and requires 2-3 coats to even it out.

I wish I could give this better rating but I just dislike the fact that after wanting it for so long and finally managed to get it, it disappoints me.

Just as the other colors I chose from pirates of the carribean line, the formula is just bad, I need to reapply 3 times to get it right cos there will always be weird streaks like some cheap products.

Super dislike it. It's so not worthy of the price - and OPI is really really expensive here.

Definitely not gonna buy this one again - but I'll still try other colors cos I love the Tickle Me Francey one.

Very nice, a tad more green than I would have liked but still a nice colour. Can look a bit streaky but not very noticeable. A smooth consistency but on the thick side which I like because I feel I need less coats. I need one-two coats.

This is my new favorite color. I love green anyway, but this is the perfect shade for spring and summer. Applies really nicely. I get lots of compliments whenever I wear it.

I LOVE this color! It's such a beautiful spring/summer color! The only complaint I have is that the polish is slightly thick and a little bit streaky! Other than that no complaints! :D

I had originally just brought two of the polishes from the POTC collection, but went back to get this shade in particular after seeing my friend wearing it. I don't tend to wear many green shades, but found this colour quite different. It's a muted dusty green with greyish tones and dries to a glossy creme finish. I was a bit worried it would apply streaky since it looked like a pastel, but application was nice and easy. Two coats and it was fully opaque. The colour is a nice change from my usual pinks and nudes. It does dry ever-so-slightly darker on my nails.

This is my favorite nail color. I have a HUGE np collection and rarely use all of my colors. I am totally set with Mermaids Tears in the spring/summer and Lincoln Park After Dark in the fall/winter. LOL

i so wanted to give this a full 5 lippies, but the only reason i'm not is because of the color. the color on my nails is not that true to the color in the bottle, which i find strange because most OPI's are dead on to the color in the bottle after 2-3 coats. I painted on two coats of this and i can tell it appears brighter, almost turquois-y on my nails, when the color in the bottle is a beautiful muted, gray seafoam color. painting on another coat (making it 3 coats), the color was closer to the bottle color, but still not dead on or muted enough. I really don't like painting on 3 coats if i don't need to so i'm a bit miffed about that.

on to the positives though, the color, despite not being what i thought it would be, is still gorgeous! it brightens up my hands and nails and looks good with every outfit. it stands out but its not obnoxious. I've wore it for 3 straight weeks now and everytime it chips i'd just take it off and put it back on. two coats looks wonderful and opaque and not overly thick. one coat is a bit streaky though.

the formula is AMAZING! the consistancy and pigmentation are just perfect, not too goopy or sticky. of all my opi's, this one and Do you lilac it lasts the longest without chips. With top coat and base coat, it lasts 4 or 5 days on me! usually nail polishes regardless of brand chips in 2 days for me and requires 3 coats to look opaque. I would repurchase, but it is limited edition so it may become hard to find for many people. i however, live by a kids salon that sells opi polishes that often has a lot of limited edition colors still in stock. I would pick this up fast though, if you have your eye on it, because this color seems particularly popular of all the colors in the Caribbean colection. I'm getting the rest of the colors through a swap so i will review them once i have tried them. Overall, amazing amazing nail polish, despite the slight difference in color once on your nails. this color is my favourite of the entire collection

This color is a mesmerizing, tranquil seafoam green. It's a great color for summer, but I think it looks good whether or not you have a tan; however, it will probably look better on people with more golden/warm undertones than pink ones.

The application is also quite good, especially considering it's a cream. I've always found that O.P.I. polishes apply much better than Essie's.

Amazing nail polish, definitly one of my favorites for spring/summer! I can't get enough of it, its a beautiful color and I can wear it with everything even though it is so unique. The sea foamy green color can look boho or classy, its my favorite!!

In love with this. It's a dusty green blue color and just beautiful. Applying is pretty easy. The first coat never looks good for me but after the second it's perfect. Plus the name makes me love it even more.

A beautiful dusty seafoam green. I got this after loving it on a friend who is about NW25. I'm about NC35 right now and it looks flattering on both of us. We've both received lots of compliments on it. My friend said that at first she was worried because she usually just wears pinks and neutrals but she ended up loving this!
