China Glaze Starboard

This is the final one of the China Glaze Anchors Away polishes I got in the giveaway. I could have posted it yesterday, because it's green, but I thought I'd post Green Ocean and Irish Spring since they were a little more St. Patrick-y. Anyway, I have Starboard for you today, and I love it (though I have to think...why no Port?). This is two coats without top coat.

I think Starboard is my favorite polish out of the ones that I have from Anchors Away. It doesn't seem particularly unique, but I don't have a dupe in my collection and the formula is perfect, so I'm very happy to have it. Like Below Deck, Starboard is incredibly shiny all on its own. Maybe it's just me, but I also think it has a slightly jellylike squishy quality to it, even though it's opaque in two coats. And I just have to mention one more time that I am seriously astonished at how shiny this is on its own. It looks like I used Seche Vite, which is the glassiest top coat I've used. China Glaze definitely hit the mark on this one.
