nail polish fails

Nic's sticks by opi in are we there yet? - The swatch makes it look opaque baby pink, but it is just a wash of pink, very very light, like a pink french mani... not what I thought I had paid for. This is not my image but... I had the same results:

Nic's sticks by OPI Feeling girly - The brush is just as horrible, and ugh... it was like painting cloudy white stripes on my nails. I couldn't even find a swatch of it online lol...

Wet n Wild Megalast in Sugar Coat - The brush is short and fat, I actually like it. This is the only Megalast color I have tried, but I plan on trying more in the future. However -- this baby pink still looked streaky after 4 coats... and that is just too much work for bad results. This is not my image, and it looks like she had better results then me

ELF White - I have a lot of elf nail polish and I think this one has a defective brush. I'm not sure if they color would go on streak free in 3 coats with a normal brush or not though. My biggest complaint is that it looks so dull. I didn't even think it possible for white to be dull, its like it has a touch of grey, and I just don't like it. The girl I found the image from looks even worse! ha! 

Revlon Tropical Temptation - I don't usually buy Revlon nail polish but I tried this one because it was a dupe for Channel Orange Fizz. Well this dupe fizzled out for me. It was so watery!!! It just went everywhere and I had to spend more time cleaning up my nails after I had finished painting them then they took to paint. The color is beautiful though. I just never wear it because of the work! This is not my image but it looks so beautiful on her that it makes me want to pull it out and do my nails, until I remember the clean up!
