Essie Nail Polish Spring 2010 Collection - Tart Deco #709

I love the color of this polish as it appears in the bottle, a delicate light pinky-peach. Aside from the application, which is difficult to get even and required three coats, the dry-down color turns a significantly darker shade of the bottle color once painted on the nail. But wait, it gets worse! Any top coat will turn it bright orange, almost neon! At first I thought it was my particular brand of top coat (Seche Vite) that had turned the color. But I tried a second swatch with Essie's own Good To Go and the exact same thing happened.

This color is great. I recieved a sample from Nordstroms and wanted the full size. Its for those who like bold
spring colors, not pastels. Feedback on the seller : Nail Beauty 4 U shipped VERY fast. Great speed. I ordered 5
Essie bottles and 4 of them looked somewhat used. There was polish on the inside that spilled over. Not too happy
about that. Would reconsider buying through them next time. Buyer beware.

once painted, it loses it's coral-essence and turns to an orange-carrot color. it could still work for some, but just not what i expected. it's such a perfect color in the bottle :-(
