OPAQUE IN 1 COAT. I'd say maybe 5% of my entire nail polish collection has this quality, and it is a true gold star quality in my opinion; makes for quick, neat, application and faster dry time. BEAUTIFUL color. Dark, but still bright (meaning not almost black or anything) teal. GET ON ME. There is probably a dupe from another brand somewhere, but I don't own one in my 450+ nail polishes, so that's saying something. I find their creme and satin finish polishes SO easy to apply. They self level, they virtually apply themselves. No dragging, no un-even-ness, pure heaven.
OCC calls Echo a satin finish, which I always describe as a semi-matte, or the lovechild of a matte and a creme. It dries none-glossy, but it doesn't have that kind of 'pixelated' look that true matte polishes do. I do like the satin finish for a kind of edgy 'different' look and texture, but this color is so damn pretty that I NEEDED to put a glossy topcoat on to make it shine and give it some delicious depth. Which way do you like it?

1 coat, with topcoat:
(please note that they have changed their bottle shape recently, so your bottle will look different than mine)
This is a color (like Zoya Caitlin) that I would wear every day for the rest of my life if I didn't have so many "untrieds" to get through. This could be my signature color.
I wish I had 85 of these to give away, I so badly want to share my love for it and show you the light of OCC nail polishes! haha do I sound crazy?
This is $8 and can be found on www.occmakeup.com or in their flagship store on Ludlow St. in lower east Manhattan. Or heyyyy, IMATS anyone?
This looks sooooo amazing. I seriously need to try their polishes, I've only ever tried their lip tars. This color is so beautifullll.
