NOTW: Urban Outfitters Green 9 Review

This is Green 9 from Urban Outfitters. I picked this up for $6 or $10 for 2 a few months ago. I finally decided to wear this on my fingers. It's a beautiful mix of a teal and turquoise - almost blue and almost green. It's a gorgeous colour that is definitely darker in natural light.

This is 2 coats of polish (and a top and base coat). It is fairly opaque but it needs 2 layers because the polish goes on thinner than OPI or Zoya polishes. It feels like a perfect colour for spring that's bright and a bit retro.
There was no shrinkage with this polish and it lasted about 5 days before chipping on my right hand (probably due to the fact I had a chemistry lab where we used acetone.)
The packaging is a little interesting - I think they've changed it since I bought this though.  It's a rectangular bottle - a square lid on top of a square bottle.  Kinda hard to hold but overall not hard to handle.

Personally, I love this colour and am so glad it finally matches the weather.
What do you think?
Colour: LOVE
Durability: 3/5
Opaqueness: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
