Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Manicure

I got a sample of nail polish from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics back at the Makeup Show. Finally got around to doing a mani with it.
The color is called Grandma and is a coral creme. I love the name as it reminds me of my grandmom, who loved to paint her nails. I don't think she wore lots of makeup, but I remember fondly staying at her house at the weekend and getting the nail polish out and doing our nails when I was little. She would approve of this color.

Obsesive Compulsive is geared to the professional and specializes in airbrush . The nail polish did pretty well. It lasted 5 days. I like longer wear, but I am hard on the manicures, so thats not too far off for me. China Glaze gives me 7 days sometimes but thats it. I used a top coat as well,although it's pretty shiny on it's own.
I used/liked 2 coats. One coat wasn't sheer but I think 2 really is needed at least with this color.
