The color in the bottle is a lovely fairly neutral mid-light pink. 1 coat goes on somewhat milky and pale (and not pink) a bit to moderately streaky. If someone was really good with these type of colors they might get it to work. I think most of us would struggle with it, but some could make it work.2 coats go on streaky and it looks worse as the 2nd coat dries. It's pinker on the second coat (the color is lovely though). But it applies so poorly it looks bad.3 coats helped some. It looked decent with the 3rd coat evening out the streakiness. A bit tricky to apply but not the worst. And then it started drying and the streaks got so, so much worse. Even with a good self-leveling top coat.I did like the color with 3 coats, not opague or bottle color but it was very pretty. But the poor application is a no-go for me as well as the streaks and uneven look of it. Also if your nails aren't 100% perfect you will see any dents and ridges really badly.Save your money and go with my HG polish of this type Wet N Wild 2% Milk (not a color dupe but in this family), it goes on very well, easy and not streaky. And it's a lot cheaper.
