{Nails} Essie - Haute As Hello

I'm still undecided about this polish, I bought it when it came out, then I sold it and then I bought it again! This week has been the first time i've worn it as it always looked too bright and orange in the bottle. It is actually a really nice colour, and perfect for this weather, but application is a nightmare!

In natural light it appears brighter, the second photo was taken outside just before this post was written. 

The only positive for application is that it dries quickly, you can see in the first photo that it dries to a semi-matte finish, as most neons do, so that wasn't a problem. But this was 4 coats! And if I look closely it still looks a bit patchy in places :( I would expect this of a sheer, but not a neon. Poor form Essie! 

It's a lovely colour and does just about manage to make up for its poor application, but only just.
