Electric Pineapple is a chartreuse-ish creme. I really like it! It's bright without being garish and doesn't make my hands look like trees, which is always a nice bonus. The formula was on the thin side, but it applied nicely and was opaque in three coats.

T-B: Electric Pineapple, OPI Fiercely Fiona, Electric Pineapple

I thought they may be dupes, but Electric Pineapple has much more green in than Fiercely Fiona. They're different enough to own both, especially if you like weird, yellow-green shades.

Here it is over American Apparel Passport Blue. Are we seeing all that shrinkage?? That's just two coats of I Juggle Men. No Seche Vite or any other type of topcoat.

Here's IJM over So Many Clowns, So Little Time. Looks great, right? So far, the only way I can wear IJM is one coat over a polish. If I add a second coat, BAM! Shrinkage! What kind of polish shrinks itself?

The wrinkling is less noticeable with Barielle Manicure Extender (middle finger), but c'mon! Sure, IJM dries quickly and shiny, but it doesn't dry anything below it. I'm sooo not into sitting around for hours waiting for my polish to dry. I'd need some sort of quick dry topcoat over it, and that's clearly not an option. I'll stick to CND Sapphire Sparkle.

I've seen some manis with this that look perfectly fine. Any tips to wearing this successfully??

Lucky Lucky Lavender is red-toned lavender creme. Mmm it's divine! Definitely a wonderful palette cleanser after all those crazy (crazy awesome) polishes I've been wearing. Lucky Lucky Lavender applied beautifully with no cleanup necessary. I also really love the finish.

Lucky Lucky Lavender was released with OPI's Spring 2010 Hong Kong collection, but I think it may be permanent? I'm basing this solely on the fact that there's a slot for it at Ulta, so I may be wrong. In any case, it's a great polish to own!
