This is three coats Forever Frosted. As you can tell, it's not fully opaque at three coats-- it really needs a fourth to reach full opacity.
Flash forward a week: I went into a Rite Aid on a whim, and they were having a buy one, get one free on Cover Girl nail polish. Since here at the Casa de Polish our Prime Directive is "Always try to buy nail polish on sale!" I couldn't pass them up. I picked up Coral Silk (#240) and Non-Stop Stone (#210).
