Essence: Mermaid Tales
Sea green shimmer

Today I'm wearing a gorgeous green shimmer from Essence. The formula is good but a teeny bit sheer. I ended up using three coats to achieve desired opacity. You can get away with two coats if you don't mind a little bit of visible nail line. The drying time is really good.

I made a purple brush stroke on each nail with Venique's "San Tro Play". I framed the purple with a no name glitter from Cosmetic Arts.

This is the final result including a layer of topcoat.

Yep, I like this!

And here is "Mermaid Tales" alone; three coats and no topcoat yet.
