Maybelline Sheer Shining Star

I bought Sheer Shining Star last summer, at the beginning of my polish obsession, before I realized that I despised sheers. I've only worn it a couple of times, and haven't worn it since probably August. Soo, it was a bit of a shock to put it on and discover that SSS is actually opaque after 3 coats! *dances* I'm pretty sure that SSS was meant to be worn sheer, seeing as the word sheer is in the name, but I really don't like sheers. When worn opaque, SSS is a lovely opalescent white that isn't harsh at all. I'm posting 2 pictures of this color as the picture above doesn't show the nice opal-y parts.
