I ordered this after reading an online review of current polish trends. The "new French manicure". The photo attached is 2 coats as recommended in the article. I may try 3. Hmmm... why don't my manicures look as pristine as online photos? Perhaps photoshop.The color is as I expected. Typical of Essex it does not turn my nails yellow. I give each coat some time to dry before adding another coat. I use a basecoat and quick dry topcoat. The photo does not include a topcoat. I am pleased with polish and color. It arrived in about a week via the USPS. It was wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. It applies and the bottle looks the same as any Essex I purchase in the store. If I had known it was available in my local drug store I may have purchased it locally to receive it faster. The cost is comparable and delivered to my mailbox via Amazon. It is an individual preference.I recommend this product and vendor.The color is different than other Essex colors in pastels. However, it may not be negligible unless compared directly. There are comparison online. I was using Hi Maintenance and have tried Ballet Slippers. Sitting next to each other I can see a difference but not huge. It is something new to try.
