Fresh Paint Sugar Crush over Essie Parka Perfect

Fresh Paint Sugar Crush over Essie Parka Perfect is a beautiful layering combo I tried.  Essie Parka Perfect is a slightly green light dusty blue with sparse small silver flakes of shimmer that are unfortunately more obvious in the bottle than on the nail.  Application was ok - the formula was a tad thick but streaky at the same time, but it did build nicely in opacity and leveled out at 3 coats.  I was disappointed that the small silver flakes don't show on the nail - you can see them in the pics just peeking out a bit, but in real life I barely saw them at all.  I got bored with PP pretty quickly, so I added Fresh Paint Sugar Crush flakie topcoat over the top, and it is beautiful.  The flakes are very dense, but I kind of like it that way!  I may add a matte topcoat to it later... I haven't decided yet.  Enjoy -     >^..^<
