OCC Nail Lacquer in Pool Boy

So, a few months ago, I went to the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics store in New York and picked up a bunch of nail polishes. I finally decided to bust them out, and of course, had to start with Pool Boy, which was the sole reason for my going to the store to begin with (OCC isn't widely sold in Canada, and they don't ship nail polishes here from their website). This shade came out last fall and I was obsessed with acquiring it, to no avail. It was sold out online and in store, and I basically had no hopes of getting it. But OCC decided to add it to their permanent line-up this year, and there was only one left when I went to the store, so I snatched that bad boy up before I could even look at anything else.

Pool Boy is a light aqua-sky blue in a cream finish. It has a fluid consistency without being too thick or runny. It does streak a bit in its first coat, but all subsequent coats go on smoothly and evenly, without any pulling, bubbling, or streaking. It has high pigmentation and will reach opacity in two coats. It is lighter and less teal than Dior's Saint-Tropez, more aqua than Chanel's Coco Blue, and much lighter than Julep's Claire. You know, despite the plethora of light blue polishes out there, this one still manages to stand out. I can't really think of any exact dupes for it. And I seriously got asked by every other girl what shade I was wearing. As a fiend for blue nail polishes, this is definitely one of my top ten nail shades of all time. And you know I don't say that lightly.
