Essie She's Picture Perfect

Hey dolls, today I'm wearing Essie She's Picture Perfect. I immediately wanted this polish based on the description. She's Picture Perfect is a lilac polish filled with pink shimmer. Unfortunately on the nail, that shimmer wasn't very apparent. The formula was a little streaky and did not self-level that well. I applied two thick coats to get rid of the streaking.
While this color is really pretty, I wish more of the shimmer appeared. Don't you just hate when the polish looks like one thing in the bottle and totally different on your nail?

Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend! Make sure you thank our US service men and women!

I just found this one in the clearance bin at Walgreen's, so I snatched it up!

I love this color on you! That purple is perfect with your skin tone :)

Shame about the shimmer. I've had it happen too many times that the beautiful shimmer in the bottle is what sold me on a color, only to find that it does not translate at all to the nail.

Definitely a shame. I guess they all can't be perfect.

I don't have that Revlon, but that sounds like the perfect combination!

WOW. My Walgreens never puts any Essies on sale ever.

I also like you, was disappointed that yet again, Essie gave us another polish that the shimmer does not translates to the nail. What I have done is put a layer of one of last year's Revlon scented Fizz colors after my first coat and then add another coat of this Essie shade. It wets my appetite seeing that shimmer and I WANT it on my nail. Lovely shade of lavender on this one.
