I recently purchased 'Teal We Meet Again' from the OPI for
I took these pictures after doing just one coat. The next day I did a second coat and took a walk in the 30+ heat to help it dry. The colour is indeed stunning after just one coat but for maximum effect I recommend applying two coats
As you can see I have ridges in my nails. The other day I discoverd OPI ridge filler at a beauty supply store. You use it like a base coat and then apply the colour on top.
My only complaint about this colour is durability. Sunday night I had applied my second coat and was happy with the results. By Tuesday morning the chipping had begun and by wednesday the colour appeared to be fading (a reaction to UV light?). So if you purchase this I also recommend that you also apply a good topcoat.
This is my cat spike who sat and watched me photograph my nails over and over until I was
satisfied with my pictures. Despite my obvious eccentricities he still love me.

ohh this color is stunning, I've been meaning to try out this collection. A one coat application is great because I usually don't have time to sit and wait so I can at least stretch out my nail session by an extra day

Very pretty colour, and while 2 coats may be better it still looks great with just one!
It's a great colour but sucks that you had to reapply it!
LOL at your unamused kitty. X)
That's a beautiful color--I love teal! See though, that's why I can't stand OPI. It ALWAYS chips the next day for me. They must have a brilliant marketing team because they're everywhere, but the product is mediocre. The colors are great, but it's just not nearly durable enough, and the colors I have all take 3 coats. So not worth the time or money. /OPI RANT
I have ridges too. I should probably get one of those little buffing pads to smooth them out, but haven't bothered. For neat application, I clean up where I've "colored outside the lines" with a q-tip dipped in remover. ;)x
