Marina

I love this color--it’s the perfect neutral, a bit more blue/slate than represented in the picture, with just a hint of shimmer. I love it! The problem is that it takes so long to dry it’s not wearable. I usually put polish on a few hours before bedtime, but this one is still soft when I wake up in the morning. I recommend reworking the formula to be a bit more dry-able--then it will be the perfect polish!

Every time it wear this shade I get compliments from all ages. The screen shot of Marina does not do it justice! Looks great on both short and long nails.

I love this color. It’s like a cadet blue, just enough gray to make it subtle, but plenty of blue so it’s not mistaken for gray. Love it.

i owned this for a month before i tried it because it just looked boring in the bottle. it is a really nice, subtle kind of color. feels professional and still trendy (that’s hard to find!). definitely not as blue as i imagined with a name like marina, but i love this steely grey-blue color.

I like this polish a lot but it did come out much darker than it looks in the bottle. And it is definitely more blue but I don’t mind that at all. It’s a very nice polish to stamp with.

Steely strength - reminds me of a battleship for some reason. It’s a gorgeous smoky gray with a hint of blue, like a storm cloud. It looks great with anything and denim really brings out the blue hue. It goes on great, really smooth, long lasting. A new neutral I think. Just gorgeous!

I like this color, it’s a slightly shimmery battleship gray. I got a few comments on it, probably because it’s something different and looks dramatic on my short nails. It’s not as ’muddy’ as I would like, but I do like it and will probably wear it a few more times during the winter.

I have a yellowish tint with some natural tan and I think it looks awesome with my skin tone. It matches my semi-dark denim jeans I was wearing, that’s the best way I can describe it.

I love gray polishes, so I was excited to see such a lovely shade of slate gray with a bit of shimmer. However, once I applied Marina I lost much of my enthusiasm. The shimmer is much too subtle to add a "dreamy" look to the nails; even in bright sunlight the shimmer is almost completely unnoticeable. The application of Marina is fine, but not as nice as that of Kelly, which is very similar to Marina, but without the unnecessary shimmer. I’m hoping that Tao from this same collection will have more of the dreamy, mysterious quality that I was looking for in Marina.
