This color ended up being a bit more greyed than Cho, but still…too yellow to work well for me. I may use this for stamping, but not as an all-over color. I’ll stick with Shay and Pandora, whose undertones work much better for me - I don’t look like I’ve got lobster-hands when wearing either of those colors!
Application was fine, nice and smooth, full even coverage in two coats. I just don’t love the color on me.

A nice brighter holiday-green. (Though, I must admit, I liked China Glaze’s holiday greens a little better. The colors were less bright, but just as saturated.)
This polish will show imperfections in the nail, but not quite as much as other polishes. It spreads well and evenly, not holding any brushstrokes. I haven’t tried using this as a stamping polish - this would look striking as a leaf or vine pattern over the top of a dark brown, black, or navy creme.
