Essie nailpolish in Smooth Sailing (756) - review + swatches


I found Essie Smooth Sailing highly disappointing, although I'll continue to use it because of the colour, periwinkle seems my favourite shade of blue.

PROS:

- gorgeous colour, blue with a hint of purple, which remains blue in different lighting conditions
- this is opaque creme polish, 2 coats were more than enough



CONS:

- the brush is too thin
- the consistency is too thick, if I didn't know this polish was a part of Essie's summer 2011 Brazilliant collection, I would suspect it was years old and definitely needed a drop of thinner
- the silver glitter looked out of place on creme polish, it hardly sparkled, in most lights looked like tiny white dots
- the finish was fairly matte, even a top coat didn't increase the shine
- chipped on the second day of use
- the glitter was hard to remove
