Nubar "Swiss Chocolate" + Nicole by OPI "Sounds Grape to Me"

i picked up Nicole by OPI "Sounds Grape to Me" at Target a couple days ago. i hadn't seen it before and assumed it was an older Nicole by OPI because it didn't have the Perfect Stroke brush. Apparently "Sounds Grape to Me" is a new polish from the Fall 2011 collection.
"Sounds Grape to Me" has a brown jelly-ish base with red and purple foily glitter. i guess the name fits...if we're talking about red grapes. i thought this polish looked a lot like OPI "Tease-y Does It" (and i wasn't the only one!), but i bought it anyway to try layered over Nubar "Swiss Chocolate". it looks exactly the same on its own as it does layered over this brown.

the formula was fine, at least for layering. it's a pretty polish, no doubt, but it doesn't thrill me. the bottle certainly makes it look a lot prettier since there appears to be gold duochrome that doesn't make it to the nail.
