Wheel N7: Classic Toppers from OPI and Revlon

It's Nail Wheel Wednesday once again, and I have sheer toppers of a certain age, namely from 2005 and earlier. I don't know exactly when the original ColorStays are from, but I did go digging and find a post I made on Livejournal in June of 2005 (I can't remember the last time I looked at LJ) saying I was seriously crushing on my nail polish, a Revlon ColorStay (not one of the ones on this wheel but a shade called Absolute Bliss UltraSheer, which my spreadsheet tells me is a pale warm pink creme).

I wouldn't wear any of these on their own except maybe Rent, if I were in a very quiet mood and my nails were not stained (my swatching hand generally has some yellowing just because I don't usually use base coat during swatching sessions). From a destashing perspective, I think I could let go of 3, 17, and 20 without too much trouble, and if I compared these to other similar toppers, I'm sure I could find some more overlap and opportunity to de-dupe.
