Wet n Wild Gray's Anatomy is a really interesting color. This has a duochrome finish. The base is gray. But depending on which way the light hits, it looks either purple or green. This is gorgeous in the bottle, but didn't fulfill all of my hopes and dreams on my nails. It is still a very nice, unique color. This polish is very sheer. It took me 4 coats to get this opaque. My guess is that it is designed for people who prefer to see some of their nail bed through their polish. This is a very thin polish, so even after 4 coats, it isn't thick on the nail. It really is fast drying. By the time you finish nail ten, nail number one is dry and ready for a second coat.
Before I go further in this review, I'll point out that nail polish formulas work differently for different people. What wears well for me, may chip on you. What takes forever to dry on me, may dry quickly for you. The only way to know what works best for your nails is to experiment with different formulas yourself.
With that disclaimer, this nail polish peeled of in sheets for me after I wore it for a few days. :( Like most polishes that don't wear well on my nails, it wears perfectly fine on my toes. I will probably try this again in the future with a different base or top coat to see if the results are different. I also plan to try is layered over a gray or black polish. This is a fun color and it is only around a buck if you want to give this one a whirl.
EDIT: I tried this polsih with Essie All Bases Covered base coat and Essie Good to Go top coat and it did not peel off in sheets.
EDIT: The duo chrome is really brought out when you later Gray's Anatomy over a turquoise polish.
