The second half of the OPI Pirates of the Caribbean collection consists of 2 pink shades and 1 purple. Again all three are a bit greyed to give them at least a hint of murkiness.
I used OPI Natural Nail Base coat and Diamond Dry Top Coat for all 3 polishes. Planks A Lot and Sparrow Me the Drama both needed 2 coats, but Steady As She Rose required 3 for full opacity. Application and Formula were nice and smooth for this half as well.
Steady As She Rose
Steady As She Rose is a very greyed pink. It's so greyed in fact that I almost wouldn't really call it a rose shade anymore. To me, it's almost closer to lavender than rose.

Sparrow Me the Drama
When I pulled Sparrow Me the Drama out to swatch I was expecting it to just be another pink. Great for other people, but not really my thing. Then I put it on. And I was shocked. I REALLY liked this pink. This is the pink I would grab when I want something simple and classic but modern.

Planks A Lot
Planks A Lot is a medium-light purple. It's purple so of course I like it. But it is a nice slightly more subdued purple.

Final thoughts: This was a nice collection, but none of the colors really stood out as a show stopper. I was impressed to find a pink that I would actually want to wear on occasion. And I think Stranger Tides is a nice mossy green neutral that can be worn well all year. But overall the collection just feels a bit familiar.
Disclosure: The product(s) in this post were sent to me by the company for consideration.

I have both Planks A Lot and Steady as She Rose, and I loved both. I admit, it's partly because I love the movies, but I got a lot of the Pirates polishes.
