Each of the swatches are three thin coats with no top coat. Application was great on all of them. Even coverage with no streaking when using a light touch to apply. Take a look at these lovely colors...

Pirouette My Whistle - A milky, slightly gray tinted jelly base with a mix of silver hex and micro- glitter. First coat was mostly micro-glitter. The hex glitter showed up more in the second and third coat. The tinted jelly base creates a lot of depth as layers build up. Looks best layered over other polishes since it is not a full coverage glitter.

I would love to know what you think of the New York City Ballet collection from OPI. Are you a fan of sheer polishes?
Thanks for looking!

Way back, I used to wear sheer almost all the time but now rarely do. So often now I've got staining and it's really not attractive to see that showing through.
I like nude colors, but not when there too sheer and show through.
Great swatches!
I like all these colours except of "my pointe exactly" (it makes nails look a little unhealthy)
i love the last one!!!!!!
@KarenD, mine get stained too so it is hard to wear these sheers, especially on their own. Luckily my staining has almost completely grown out. Now I always use a base coat even for swatching. Also I have tried to get the staining out with a benzyl peroxide/baking soda mix and it helped a bit...
@Paulina, thank you! I plan on wearing these as french manis in the future so the nail line is covered...
@summer_breeze, I agree with you, when worn on it's own, a little too gray... I'm hoping it won't look like that in a french mani. I think it is so unique.
@Naty T, the glitter is definitely a fun one! :D
