Essie - Bikini So Teeny with Essie - Pure Pearlfection

Perhaps the most talked about shade from a summer collection, I finally plunged and purchased Bikini So Teeny. Whilst it is absolutely gorgeous in the bottle, I was hesitant to use it on my nails because of my weird aversion to blues. Whilst I think it;s a pretty blue, and one of the prettiest I own, I did find that I preferred it with a sparkly top coat since the sparkles in the actual nail polish were non-existent once painted. Pure Pearlfection was my top coat of choice, and I think it's sort of magical :)
