This is Below Deck from their Anchors Away collection.

NOTW - Zoya Skylar
Zoya Skylar from the True collection. According to Zoya it is a medium steel blue with a softened, dusty look and speckled by visible gold and silver shimmer flecks. A soft blue that's bold without being too dark, bright or flashy.
I agree that it's a medium dusty blue, and the simmer flecks is visible on the nail even on low light. It has a muted look to it. The nail swatch above is 3 coats, to me this polish needs 3 coats in order to get even opaque coverage.

OPI - Rally Pretty Pink
This color is gorgeous! I kept staring at my finger when wearing this.
I'd say that the gold shimmer is what stands out the most once on the nails. But the pinky base complements it nicely. Such a lovely combination.
The above swatch is 3 thin coats with OPI natural nail base coat and Seche Vite top coat.
The wear time is approximately a week on me.

Estee Lauder - Surreal Violet Nail Polish
Estee Lauder Surreal Violet, another one of my favorite nail polish. Unfortunately this is limited edition, and is probably hard to find now. I actually got mine from a discount cosmetic outlet in Japan.
The name surreal violet is very fitting for this polish. It has that ethereal quality to it. Very delicate and pretty. However I find that with this polish I often got tip wear within a few hours of application, even with base and top coat. Another cons is that the bottle contains less than average amount of polish 9ml vs. 14 ml.

Tony Moly TR07 Nail Polish
This polish my cousin's favorite polish, so I ask her to send me a bottle to try. I think it's called grey pink, but on the bottle it's only written as tr07.
Overall it's an easy polish to apply, it has nice consistency and seems to self level. The finish is semi matte, so if you like shiny nails like I do, you'll need a top coat.
I wear this with OPI natural nail base coat and sache vite top coat and I start getting tip wear around day 3. So... not too bad but could be better.
I can see why she likes it. It's a soft and flattering polish to wear. I say if you love nude-ish nails and can find this brand around you, give this one a try. It's also a very office friendly color.
Another thing, it's a bit hard to see but on my ring finger I added a coat of Etude House Matte Real Nail Top Coat, then did a shiny top coat as a french tip.
