Omg. I ...I totally agree that the formula is AWFUL! Omg. I tried this for the first time tonight and I was all WTF is going on with this nail polish? It's thin and streaky and patchy. I had to use 3 coats and even at that, it just looks bad. Top coat couldn't even save it :/ glad I'm not the only one who thinks the formula sucks. Color is pretty I have to admit.

I've only seen maybe one or two other swatches of this polish and I don't think they mentioned a problematic formula so maybe it's just my bottle? It might be worth doing some research on...<br /><br />@Elizabeth: I really need to get Mint Candy Apple at some point! I agree about the Essie formulas. I think overall they've improved a lot over the past couple years but some of their colors still tend to be streaky--it's always really pretty ones too! XD<br /><br />@Ashesela: I've got a couple super sheer NOPIs in my stash that I need to try again and decide if I wanna keep 'em or trade/gift them away. Their formulas are definitely a mixed bag.<br /><br />@Anne: NOPI definitely has some of the wonkiest brushes out there. A lot of them feel stiff to me and like you said, on the bristly side. At least this polish doesn't have the ironically named "Perfect Stroke" brush, because I honestly think those are just awful!<br /><br />@Nory: Thank you! :)<br /><br />@funkiichiicka: Definitely agree on the pastels, particularly China Glaze pastels. They are always streak city yet I'm still drawn to how cute they are!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688547136803053006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499878122636089884.post-38852172159753121092012-01-22T10:13:46.878-08:002012-01-22T10:13:46.878-08:00Lovely colour!

Probably the worst formula that I've tried are pastel China Glazes or OPIs, which sucks because they are so beautiful.funkiichiickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783077943595428575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499878122636089884.post-71384902485778032242012-01-21T16:39:26.522-08:002012-01-21T16:39:26.522-08:00Very pretty polish.Very pretty polish.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004864287441569220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499878122636089884.post-87136012210995761532012-01-21T15:33:18.461-08:002012-01-21T15:33:18.461-08:00I've never seen this color!

Too bad about the formula :( Sometimes Essie colors are a little streaky/thick, but I feel like it depends on the color. For colors like Mint Candy Apple, Lapiz of Luxury and Something Borrowed, I make it work because I like the color so much, haha.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380668071591905559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499878122636089884.post-89690340559590693622012-01-21T14:34:35.282-08:002012-01-21T14:34:35.282-08:00Agree with the other comments.
