Chameleon Nail Polish

Today while I was at Rite Aid I found these cute little nail polishes called Chameleon Nail Polish. They are manufactured by the same company as CQ nail polish. They are exclusive to Rite Aid so if you want them, thats the only option.

They are very shimmery and duo-chromy in the bottle.

Okay I still don't know about these polishes. I want to love them! But quite honestly I dont know, these were pretty opaque (I didn't expect them to be) I used three coats just to be safe. They were still oddly streaky and  ended up having more of a frost finish than a duochrome like the bottle. I wish the cool colors stayed on the nails but, oh well. I added a top coat to see if it would be improved.

I don't know if the top coat helped or not.... I think the issue is it doesn't self level. I would love to make these work because for $3 a bottle is awesome. 

If you could give me any pointers on this specific brand, or your experience with it. Or even if you could give me tips on applying frost finishes.

Thanks and Happy Wednesday :)
