I'm still looking for the color I expected this nail polish to be. Like one of the other reviewers, I was hoping for more of a cream finish, but this is just really shiny and metallic-y, a nightmare to apply and streaky like nobody's business. It's the only Essie polish I have, and I'm really hesitant to buy more since they're kind of expensive, especially here in Norway, I guess. I can't for the life of me figure out how to apply this to make it look good. Thin coats, thick coats, it all looks equally bad.
