Aly's Dream Polish Review (Emerald, Sea Blue, Navy, Intense Blurple, Super Cherry, and Sweet Dreams) [PIC HEAVY]

The review you've all been waiting for! With much better swatches the second time around!! Be warned: there will be a LOT of pictures in this post. It may take a while for your browser to load them all. Also, all these swatches are without a base or top coat.
All of the Aly's swatches can be found on Pinterest here. All of my swatches from the blog can be found on Pinterest here. A list of all colors made by Aly can be found here. (All links will open a separate window.)
Without further ado, the colors:

Emerald (#17), a true green. It leans neither yellow nor blue.
Opacity: 3
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2
Be aware; this color may cause staining without a good base.

Sea Blue (#50), a Caribbean blue similar to Ocean (#51), but with a softer touch.
Opacity: 2
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 3

Navy (#60). True to it's name.
Opacity: 2
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 3

Intense Blurple (#58), a color that has identity issues and thus can't make up it's mind between blue and violet.
Opacity: 2.5
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 3

Super Cherry (#43). It looks cherry red in the bottle, but don't let that fool you. It's more of a raspberry pink on your nails. The holographic spectrum is also not as full in this color, as most "reds" tend to do to holos.
 Opacity: 2.75
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2

On my top 3 list of favorite Aly's with Sea Blue and Ocean, Sweet Dreams (#30) is an intense scattered holographic neutral with pink and grey undertones. Although it doesn't show well in these pictures, this is one of Aly's strongest holos.
Opacity: 2.5
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2

As of the date of this post, Aly's is not currently for sale as she is having some health issues. You might be able to find a bottle for swap on Pinterest or Facebook though. Good luck, and don't forget to like Happy in Holos on Facebook, and follow the Pinterest swatch boards linked above.

Thanks so much for reading my reviews everyone! It really means a lot to me.
