OPI- Russian Navy

OPI- Russian Navy was one of the many nail polishes that I got for Christmas (I know, I'm such a teenager at heart)! It was highly anticipated.  It is definitely sophisticated.  I guess I was just expecting something different.  It was much darker than was shown from swatches online.  I'm starting to learn a major rule of thumb when it comes to nail polish colors: The ACTUAL shade of the polish is almost always 1-2 shades darker than it looks in the bottle!

Anyway.. the formula was good, on the thick side.  When it tried, the texture reminded me of a Jolly Rancher if that makes any sense at all.  A 1 coater for sure.  I planned to use 2 coats, but used 3 due to bubbling issues.  The pictures below show 3 coats+ 1 coat of seche vite.

As you can see, it's basically 2 shades in 1.  A beauty with lots of depth.
