Mm, I don't know. Do I love this polish or not?

I've taken this week to go through the polishes from my last haul. I've loved You Don't Know Jacques and Lincoln Park After Dark, had a big disappointment with A Splash Of Grenadine, but am unsure about Tart Deco.

I must first of all point out, this polish chipped like a biatch. I applied on Monday afternoon, all was well. Woke up on Tuesday morning - massive chip on my middle finger. Sad face.

The polish was a little testing to apply. Usually I just slather on two fairly generous coats of colour and then a top coat. I think I did about four v e r y thin, streaky coats to get it to look this opaque and un-splodgy. The first time I tried, the colour just pooled around the nail bed - not a pretty look. I think the colour is quite nice, but is it really worth the effort and the time limit?

Perhaps I'll feel happier about this polish come actual summer.

Please ignore my cuticles in the photo - I am trying sooooooo hard to get better, but just can't seem to shake the habit.
