SOPI Ms. Can't Be Wrong

SOPI Ms. Can't Be Wrong........ so this is a rotten mani in so many ways.  My Poshe is getting low and thick, and even though I thought I got it all the way to the edges of the polish (which actually didn't look too bad in the application department)... it shrunk.  Leaving a ragged, unsightly edge at the cuticle line on almost every nail.  Then there's the polish itself - in the bottle it has a pronounced fuchsia shimmer that is easily seen against the plum creme background.  But on the nail the shimmer is almost invisible, even in direct sun - you can see maybe 5 little particles peeking out on one nail in one of the pics below.  The formula itself was good, though - nice consistency, easy to control, not too streaky and evened out nicely.  I used 3 coats here as usual for depth of color and full opacity, topped with (thick) Poshe (obviously I need to dig out the thinner).  This may as well be a straight up creme because that's what it looks like 99% of the time, and the color itself is nothing to write home about.  Bummer.       >^..^<
