I was SO disappointed in the Essie polish 'Belugaria'. The bottle is so pretty with the black and sparse holographic glitter. As you can see above, the black nail is the Essie Polish and no glitter!!!! The polish also has the caviar beads mixed in. So it dried to this awful bumpy mess with no glitter. I couldn't even bring out the shine with top coat because it would ruin the polish further. Good thing I only paid $1 instead of $8.50 for it.
The neon yellow polish also was terrible. I know neons are generally tough polishes but this one took he cake. It dîdnt start being opaque until coat 6!!!!! It was streaky when it dried and the color was awful. Luckily it was on $1 as well.
The last Milani polish looked pretty in the bottle as well. It was a dark plum purple base with gold reflective micro glitter called 'Totally Cool'. (I hate how Milani names their polishes). This also took around 5 coats to be opaque. The color was very flat. Top coat made it a tiny bit better.
Overall I'm glad I only paid $4 for the 4 polishes. It's hit or miss at Christmas Tree shops so I guess I will have to try again another time.
