Hey everyone and happy Friday! With the 4th of July being in the middle of the week today was such an odd day - it felt like a one day work week But without further ado, today's nail polish is Essie's "Raise Awareness" which came out as part of a Breast Cancer Awareness collection. Here's how this pretty polish looks in the bottle:
"Raise Awareness" is a pretty pastel pink creme. The formula of this nail polish was watery and I had to wipe the brush to not flood my nail beds. After two coats, "Raise Awareness" was a bit streaky and not opaque - so I decided to add an additional coat. The third coat made all the difference and "Raise Awareness" was opaque and streak free. As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for three days before there were some chips. Here's how "Raise Awareness" looks up close:
Overall I have mixed feelings about Essie's "Raise Awareness." I love that it brings awareness to Breast Cancer and the pink color is perfect for Spring but the watery formula and need for a third coat is less than ideal. In the end I probably won't keep "Raise Awareness" in my collection as I have a lot of similar looking pink polishes with a better formula.
