I normally have trouble with the formula of Essie (but they just have the best colors so I still wear them). Y'all know that goopy mess with the skinny little brush that just taunts you when it comes to Essie polishes. This polish doesn't have that problem, which is the first plus. The formula was super smooth even with the micro glitter and was almost fully opaque in one coat which is so nice in a periwinkle-ish shade. The brush is still annoying, Essie needs to change their brushes but it didn't cause any streaks or problems. The color is stunning on my NW20 skin, and is a great summer color!
