Nicole by OPI: Selena

I picked up Selena from the Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez collection awhile ago after it was available in Shoppers.  It was on sale for $5.99, so I thought it was a good deal.  Lately, Shoppers has been having great sales for nail polishes.  There are days where Essie is $6.99 for the Saturday/Sunday special, and then $7.99 regular.

Thoughts
When I first saw this colour, I had wanted to buy it but I saw some reviews that were pretty mix.  Saying that it takes about 4 coats for it to be opaque.  Well this did hold true and it's pretty thick, the colour itself is pretty.  It's a shame it takes 4 coats though.  Even 3 coats seems to be excessive to me.  

Originally I had painted my nails with the intention of wearing it for the week but changed my mind after the 4 coats.  Just because it kind of made my fingers feel heavy.  I haven't given Selena another try since.  I probably will in the future but just not right now.
