Essie-Braziliant

I know I said I was going to wear nothing but the OPI suedes that I have, but I wanted to test out the Revlon Quick Dry Topcoat before buying more than one bottle at that Rite Aid 40% off sale thing last week. So I needed a polish that needed a quick dry topcoat, and enter this one.

Braziliant is a part of Essie's recent Summer collection of the same name. It's a medium orange with pink shimmer. It's so pretty and very apropos of the season. The shimmer really comes out in the sun. I would never think of putting orange and pink together, but it totally works.

The formula wasn't the best. The few drugstore Essies I have I've loved and the formula has been amazing so I was expecting the same. Nada. This is two uneven coats and I probably should have done three. The color makes up for that. Drying time was okay. Could have  been better.

I've wanted this polish since I first saw the promos for this collection. I know I don't have anything like this in my personal collection. I just wish the formula had been better. Oh well. Can't win them all.
