I love this polish! You can coat your nails with one coat! I used a second coat to cover up some bare spots, but if you really wanted you could just use one coat of this! This was a wonderful polish. I would definitely buy it again and again! This polish is the darker blue out of the two that Maybelline have in their denims collection and the finish dries to be semi-matte. I love the shimmer in this polish, its not overwhelming and I think it makes it look that much more like real denim, I think it gives it a visual texture.
