Here is Bobbing for Baubles, a lovely dark teal. In the bottle it looks distinctly more blue, and to me teal has more green in it. But I've noticed that Essie colors dry a shade or two darker than what you see in the bottle. Once it dried, I thought about it for a minute and came to the conclusion that Sonia Kashuk's Taunting Teal was exactly the same color. Obviously, there are differences in formula and maybe a hair's difference in actual shad,. but to my eye it looked the same.
Bobbing for Baubles did last a good long while tho. Nails actually broke and there was no damage to the polish aside from looking a little jagged. There were no chips or fading, I actually got bored with it before it started to show signs of wear. I did use a liquid quick dry oil on it and I've noticed that when I use it, there are what appears to be scratches on the surface of the top coat, like when your phone or eye glasses get scratches. It was very distracting. So I might refrain from using it unless I'm in a huge hurry.
