Mateo can best be described as a cool-toned pacific blue cream.

Both of these blues are stunning.

Echo is so bright, I changed out the cap on my polish to the standard black, I didnt like the white caps on the wall, they stuck out like sore thumbs, the formula on these wasnt great the first time I used them, they are a jelly/crelly formula, I then let my collection sit with their caps unscrewed to allow air in for a good few hours, which I think? has helped them a little, the formula is ok, no running or pooling but sheer, I did three coats for my mani. Echo is blue but she has a turquoise/green undertone to her. I also show her with topcoat on.

Mateo is stunning, it gives me Sally Hansen Pacific Blue vibes, I dont own the original Sally Hansen but I do have the Barry M Damson dupe,  and Damson is a more saturated blue, Mateo has a wee bit too much white to be a dupe, my two middle nails in the pics after the stamp test have Barry M Damson on the middle nails. Mateo has a fabulous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, I could have gotten away with one on my shorties, Mateo also stamps. One thing to note with Mateo, the smell, its got that funky blue smell, you dont smell it on your nails but as you are painting them you can.
