Essence - Modern Romance

Hi everyone!!

I have yet another polish from Nory to share with you all.  Essence Modern Romance is a beautiful peach creme with peach shimmer.  The formula is not the greatest.  It's so streaky, even after the second coat.  I was so saddened by this because I think the polish is so pretty.  I tried adding top coat, Beauty Secrets, to even it out, but it didn't work. Take a look:

Not cute right?!  This was the first time I experienced such a poor formula from Essence. 

I wasn't ready to give up on this polish yet!  I decided to add some thinner to the polish because it was also a bit on the thick side.  Then, when applying it, I let  some polish drain off the brush so I could add thinner coats.  It naturally had a lot of polish because of the wide brush.

Here's the result (three coats and no top coat):

It was soooo much better after adding the thinner and using thinner coats.  The pinky is messed up because of me, not the formula. I'll definitely be trying this one again.  I really love the color and the slight shimmer it has.

Do you have Modern Romance?  How was the formula for you?
