I really don't know what to think. The bottle and everything on it looks legit. I was very surprised to see it was so opaque. I was expecting something very sheer from what I've read online. But I've had the inconsistency problem with Essie before. My bottle of To Buy Or Not To Buy is a sheer and streaky thin mess, while other people have the same color with a more decent formula. And there are others who have the same version as I do. So I guess you never know with Essie.Mihaelahttp://lacquerbuzz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769130395409703487.post-12491302038140698632013-09-03T19:16:34.386+03:002013-09-03T19:16:34.386+03:00Honestly, I would give up on the shimmer if I coul...Honestly, I would give up on the shimmer if I could get a normal bottle that I can use top coat over.

I honestly thought that I was doing something wrong but I tried several things over it and nothing works. If you bought it in Boots then it must have been expensive (6-7 pounds from what I recall). So it's not just a bad batch that ended up on a discount site. Wonder if these bottles only got to Europe or there are some in the US. Maybe they just dumped them on us Europeans. Not cool at all!Mihaelahttp://lacquerbuzz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769130395409703487.post-23073161567099053202013-09-03T19:10:16.840+03:002013-09-03T19:10:16.840+03:00Mai bine ca nu ai luat-o.

I didn't have this top coat issue that you're describing... yours sounds more opaque though I needed 3 coats when I used it... It was still streaky at 2 coats... I'm surprised you got a bad bottle from Essie though... I would think there would be more consistency from such a large polish company where it's mixed in huge batches in machines... I can understand there would be some variation in indies since they are hand made but I thought mainstream polish would be consistent... do you think maybe it's counterfeit? I've heard of stores having counterfeit OPI (see rebeccalikesnails instagram for example)Stephanie LovestruckLacquernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769130395409703487.post-45875801160856872982013-08-26T18:31:32.648+03:002013-08-26T18:31:32.648+03:00Very pretty!

I googled it and looked through loads of blog sites to see if anyone else had mentioned this same problem, but nothing. I bought mine maybe about a year ago in boots. <br />It's so annoying, its such a pretty colour and then you go and topcoat it and...... Well you know the rest lol<br />Amazing mani by the way, they always look so neat :)Debbie Pallettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769130395409703487.post-34268009358821919602013-08-26T11:14:20.189+03:002013-08-26T11:14:20.189+03:00I like color (:I like color (:HGNailDesignnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769130395409703487.post-39301613000209666192013-08-26T09:43:53.747+03:002013-08-26T09:43:53.747+03:00wow, e superba, imi pare rau ca nu am comandat-o s...wow, e superba, imi pare rau ca nu am comandat-o si eu, cu toate ca, daca pretul acesta mic era din cauza stocului slab, mai bine ca nu am luat-o.
