Sally Hansen’s Almost Almond (310)

This color is a close match for Zoya's Chantal. Unfortunately, it's also a sheer shade…meaning that I had to use three coats, and still didn't get 100% opacity. There's also the slightest bit of a frost finish, which means that this polish showed brushstrokes. The polish was easy to apply cleanly and quickly, as are all of the CSM polishes with their wide, flat, rounded-tip brushes; and because it was on sale and I was able to use customer loyalty points to purchase this and three other bottles, my price-per-color was just over USD$2.50. When compared with Zoya's $9.00, or the $4.00 per bottle in their most recent promotion, these CSM polishes are an excellent value.

My primary complaint with this is the coverage: it's sheer, and I believe that's intentional. But I would have vastly preferred a fully opaque polish that covered completely in two coats. Please, Sally Hansen, consider adding full-coverage versions of these shades to the CSM lineup.
