Another one here who loves bikini so teeny.........until I put a topcoat on!!! It then goes darker and is streaky looking. Has anyone else had this problem?

JasminaI have tried seche vite, color club and an aengland one!! So annoying because its such a beautiful colour!

.

Thanks jasmina , I have tried topcoat and then another coat of bikini, which was fine, but you've just made me wonder if a matte topcoat before the seche vite would work hhmmm I might try it tonight and I'll report back in case anyone else has had this problem.

Finally! I thought it must be my Insta-Dri getting old. I searched all the blogs and found nothing.
When I was removing it the top coat came off as a pink layer and the original Bikini So Teeny colour came back. Weird.

Thanks for the swatches. But they have made me really really want Essie Beyond Cozy rather than the new collection!
I don't really like gold and this is described as silvery gold but I still want it!

I've got Essie Beyond Cozy - it's stunning !

Thanks for pointing this out! Just purchased a few essies over the weekend so I'm fighting with myself to see whether I should get some more...

Might be just me, but I've always found with Essies that in the bottle they are very 'meh' but on the nails they are amazing. I've had a few shades which I've bought only because they were cheap and then worn and loved them.

Resisting though, spent far too much on a T Shirt earlier  

I think their bottles are just a bit meh, I guess that's the problem. I can honestly say I've never looked at a bottle of Essie and thought "I have to have it!". And yet OPI, when I spotted them in John Lewis, I bought two bottles for £11 each, even though I knew I could get them for an absolute maximum of £8 online... Those bottles are just too darn sexy.

I know where you're coming from with the OPIs Sam, and the bright lights in the shops make those colours sparkle so much that they almost jump into your hands  
I like the clean look of the Essie bottles though and love the fattie rounded brushes. I've had a couple recently with skinny brushes and have been quite disappointed with those.
