The primarily visible color is a cool bluish or lavenderish grey that shifts to a silvered mauve. And there are hints of green at the edges. I believe that this was part of the Glee collection from Sephora-by-OPI.

This is a really great polish shade! It’s a bit like a cooler, sheerer version of Wet n Wild’s Grey’s Anatomy. Two coats and I can still see a bit of VNL - but it isn’t a “French-manicure” sheer. The color deepened and the colorshift got more pronounced as I added more coats. The texture is a slightly roughened metallic. It’s not perfectly smooth, but it isn’t a frost, nor is it quite a shimmer.

If your makeup brushes are feeling a little coarser than usual, use a little dab of your hair conditioner.
