As far as application, the pictures show 2 coats. It's pretty even and opaque in 1, but to ensure it was completely even I did two. The polish itself is quite thin despite it's high pigment. I often found that I had way too much polish dripping down the brush and would have to wipe the brush once or twice while painting a nail. Not a huge deal, but notable. Brush strokes are minimal and mostly evened out as it dried. It also wears fantastically! (Last week's polish did too and I don't know if my nails are just in better condition or if these polishes are longer wearing than I'm used to. I think it may be the former.) I know this wear well because I wore it for half of last week before repainting this week. :) Needless to say, I highly recommend "Better Not Pout!" So far I would highly recommend this entire collection. This shade it beautiful, paints pretty well, covers wonderfully and wears spectacularly. Definitely check this out if you get the chance! :)
