- purchased at Rexall (chain drug store) for $5.99 CDN

However, Uptempo Plum applied nicely and covered opaquely in two coats (I could have gotten away with one coat if I had been more careful about covering bald spots). Unfortunately, the wear on this polish was not spectacular - I had tip wear after less than 12 hours (and most of that time I spent in bed sleeping). The good news is that the tip wear appeared quickly, but it did not worsen for the next two days.
China Glaze - In Awe of Amber
- purchased at Sally Beauty Supply for $2.00 CDN

In Awe of Amber applied nicely, although it is rather sheer. To build up to bottle colour and eliminate any visible nail line, required four coats of polish (which is a bit of a pain, as it takes longer to dry). This polish wore well for the two days I had it on - only minor tip wear.
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear - Emerald City
- purchased at Rexall (chain drug store) for $2.95 CDN

This polish required three coats for perfect coverage (but to be honest, two coats would be enough if you aren't completely anal about every little bald spot like I am). Emerald City is very similar in colour to one of my previous favourites, Rimmel 60s Camouflage. However, the wear on the SH polish is far superior as I only had very minor tip wear after two days.
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear - Crushed
- purchased at Rexall (chain drug store) for $2.95 CDN

Crushed applied wonderfully (as do almost all of my SHHANXW polishes) due to the nice formula and the excellent brush. It took three coats for opaqueness. I had essentially no tip wear after two days of wearing.

I have Crush, and wore is several times this summer. I love the Amber.
Nice Colours. I also love the Xtreme wear, so it's great to see the new displays.
I love the plum! I am a terrible nail biter, so never paint my nails, but am an admirer of those who can ;).
I can't do blk or goth. Love the other colors though.
I love looking at the colors of your polish. I'll be going to Sally's to look for the "In Awe of Amber". I like the color enough to do the four coats.
You all lady will look fine with these colour polish.
