DIY Gel polish-Sensational by Nailene

I recently went to Walgreens hoping to pick up a bottle of Teenie Bikini. Unfortunately, they were out of it so I got three of the other Island Fever shades and five of the Liquid Metal shades instead. I also picked up one of the Nailuv polish kits at Costco for $29.99. It comes with five colors, base/topcoat, primer, the lamp, remover and cleanser. One of the colors, Merry Mermaid, is almost identical to Bombshell Beauty. It's just a tad greener than bombshell. Coverage with Nailuv isn't as good as Sensationail and there was a bit of shrinkage but for the price I'm willing to deal with it.
I've attached swatch pictures and a comparison photo for your enjoyment.

First wheel is from left to right Cabana Boy, Beat The Heat, Ride The Wave, Steal A Kiss, Rock My Emerald, Iron Mama, Going For The Rose Gold, and Gold Me Tight.

Second wheel is from left to right Nailuv Eternal Passion, Dynamic Duo, First Crush, Diamonds Are Forever, and Merry Mermaid.

Last is Sensationail Bombshell Beauty on the left vs Nailuv Merry Mermaid on the right.
