Cover Band is a brand that "covers" popular polishes that may be discontinued or hard to find, etc. They are not meant to be DUPES of the original polish, they are meant to pay tribute. Just as cover bands who may cover songs of classic artists, they will never be the same but they can be loved for what they are nevertheless.
Crazy as a Capper is a tribute to OPI's Mad as a Hatter. I don't have Mad as a Hatter but from what I have seen of it, this one is very close! The OPI seems to have a tad more purple and pink while this one has more blue but, again, it is not supposed to be a dead on dupe, just similar.
The formula on Crazy as a Capper is amazing - I had NO issues with application, the polish spread smoothly and easily and I did not have to do any dabbing. I have used this alone on an accent nail and layered it over several colors so you can see it a few different ways. Also, I only needed one coat of Poshe for this to be completely smooth.
First up is 1 coat over a medium grey creme with 3 coats alone on my ring finger...

Next I am showing 1 coat over a medium dusty purple creme (index and ring) and over a dark blue creme (middle and pinky)...
*Excuse the bare spot on my index nail, apparently I wasn't paying attention. Haha

So what do you think? I love this one - and it is SO SPARKLY! It's a must have for all glitter lovers! It will be an amazing pedi polish for spring and summer!
Cover Band polishes are sold exclusively through Ninja Polish. Currently the release date for these is still in the works so I'll just say COMING SOON. Make sure to like Ninja Polish on Facebook for updates, swatches and restock information.
Note: Cover Band is their own brand separate from Ninja Polish, however, Ninja Polish supplies them with their bottles.
As I mentioned earlier, I also have one more new Cover Band creation to share with you soon so stay tuned over the next couple of days!
Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥
