Essie Tennis Corset


So on my laptop I have a folder called "Things That Need To Be Posted" and it is slowly getting jam packed with swatches and a video or two. I'm doing my best to get it cleared out without overwhelming everyone with posts. I'm not a big fan of putting more than one polish into a blog post because personally, when I go searching for a polish online, I like to read about one polish in particular and I don't like sifting through tons of pictures and texts looking for that individual polish. Therefore, I try to blog so that I would enjoy it myself, hoping that others will enjoy it the same way.

Anyway, here is Essie Tennis Corset! It's a very, sheer milky white polish with subtle gold shimmer. When I say sheer... I seriously mean sheer! All of the photos shown are four coats without top coat and you can still see my bare nail and nail line. If you aren't a fan of sheer polishes you can easily use this over a white polish, or other colors to give them a cloudy finish.

This polish is really thin also. Very runny. You don't need much on the brush at all to get a thin coat. You could probably wipe almost all of it off the brush and still be able to apply it. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but it's still something to take into consideration. This dries fairly quick if you apply thin coats so you don't have to wait very long in between applications. That's a good thing considering it needs many coats in order to build it up by itself.

I'm not usually a fan of sheer polishes, but if it has gold shimmer, I'm a sucker for it. I'm sure I can't be the only one like that... right?
