Ahoy!
Hey Sailor
My inital thoughts:

White Cap builds in opacity quicker than I thought. I will be buying full size!  It will also work great as a layering polish (a la CND Effects)
Sea Swept - streaky, but even after 2.5 coats. Thin not thick, which is a plus!  Definitely glad I bought it!
First Mate - Great formula, great color.  What's not to like?
Hey Sailor - Fantastic formula.  ChG knows how to make a great red creme!
Ahoy! - Pretty, but.......  I am not a pink fan!  Great formula though.

Also, please note I picked these up at Cosmoprof.  The mini bottles are 0.365 fl oz. They only had six shades from this collection, none of which were the Channelesque dupe.
