Essie Pink Parka: Review, Photos & Swatches

Hey Beauties :) 
Essie's Pink Parka is a nail polish that I have been looking forever for, but I could never find it anywhere online. A few weeks ago, I finally found it after hours of searching for it and I immediately added it to my shopping bag. Keep reading if you want to know what I think about this nail polish by Essie :)

 ♥ Essie Pink Parka.

Pink Parka is a beautiful neon pink nail polish that dries matte. I'm actually very disappointed in the formula of this nail polish. Its very thin and extremely streaky, which makes it a pain in the butt to apply. I had to work a lot with it to get it to look somewhat okay and I'm still not happy with how it looks on my nails. 

Pink Parka is a nail polish that you have to work very fast with, because it dries in only a few seconds. I had to use three, very thick coats to make it look opaque but it was still very streaky after all those coats. I do like how quickly it dries though, a few seconds is really impressive :)

Pink Parka is extremely bright, its definitely an ''In Your Face'' kind of nail polish. I absolutely love the color, its really delightful but I wish the formula was much better. It dries matte which I'm not a big fan of but that problem can be solved with a top coat.

I haven't found a perfect dupe for Pink Parka yet, but there are a lot of similar shades by other brands available. I really wish that Essie would release this nail polish again and change the formula and make it a creme nail polish instead of a matte one. That would be amazing because the color of this nail polish is extremely gorgeous :)

  6. This has got to be the most gorgeous pink I've ever seen! I think it evens beats my dear NYX Advanced Salon Nail Polish in Hot Pink, although I believe it's quite similar. Since you're as much of a fan of NYX's as I am, you should check it out ^^ Thanks for sharing XOXO ^^

  12. @c8snails The prices on eBay are ridiculous. I found it on a Norwegian website, sadly they only ship to Norway :( Have you tried Amazon? You might find it there :)
