Essie Muchi, Muchi 0.5 oz - #586

Love the colour but my word it's a horrible formula. Very disappointing as it is a pretty shade but who has time to keep applying so many coats to get rid of the streaks and dark spots. Really only usable if you want a completely opaque finish but the drying time is poor too so prepare for a long session !. The bottle will be recycled because I love Essie brushes and I'll decant a Zoya colour into it so not all is lost.

Much Muchi is a pretty shade of pale, marshmallow pink which can be worn either sheer or built up to opacity. I like to wear it opaque so therefore use 3 coats over ridge filler (Essie Fill The Gap). I have no issues with streaking at all, so I would recommend applying this over a ridge filler. I also found it to be a very good a self-levelling. The formula is great, easy to apply. It can flood the cuticles a little but is easy to control for the most part. It dries to a shiny finish, but did take a little longer to dry than my other Essies even with quick dry top coat. The finished result is lovely. It is a sweet and pretty pink which is conservative enough to wear at work or any other conservative environment. It lasts for around 4-5 days on the nails when paired with base and top coat which is in line with Essie's other polishes. I can recommend this one for anyone needing a sheer but buildable pink for work or another environment.

I just don't learn when it comes to Essie's light colors the colours themselves are so pretty, but application is a pain.Muchi Muchi is a very lovely light pink in the bottle, and I was really looking forward to having that colour on my nails. Not going to happen. First coat is extremely streaky, 2nd not much better. No way am I going to put on 4, 6 or 7 coast so polish (as some Essie users do to get the effect they want). These polish don't dry quickly, especially if you apply heavy coats (I don't).So I stopped at three where I think it gives a "not perfect but wearable" look". It's still a bit streaky, not opaque and not the intensity of the bottle colour.Maybe I should go back to using dark colours ... 😉

The worst Essie polish I've ever used. I have quite a few favourites and typically adore the Essie formula and top coats... But this was a no-go. Streaky formula, takes 3 coats to be as opaque as it'll ever be, which isn't even perfectly opaque, and because of how many coats you need, it takes a lot longer to dry. Disappointed because I love love love the colour.

Falling in love with the color, i buy this one to fit with a new dress. Deception about the application, you need to apply a good base coat before, at least 3 coat of this lacquer to have a good result.
