    Loved the color, but horrible application. I've never had good luck with any ESSIE shades, but this one was particularly bad. The color was really pretty, though.

    Awesome color, but crap formula. Very streaky.

    This is my favorite neon yellow of all time! IT NEEDS TO BE APPLIED OVER A SOLID WHITE BASE. It also requires a shiney topcoat. Many neons i have also require the same type of application, it does...

    Ugh! I wish i would of read reviews on here before I bought this. It's awful! Like everyone else says, I not sure how many coats you would need to apply to get any kind of opaque color and you're...

    Everyone else has already summed it up in the reviews for this - great colour, horrible everything else. I was so disappointed in this - even after reading all the reviews, I ordered it anyway,...

    The color is so cool, but this nail polish is awful. This is the first nailpolish I returned. :(

    I like the color but it chips off the next day. I felt like I wasted my time applying this on then to have it look horrible the next day due to peeling.

    Ugh. As much as I love, love, love the screaming yellow neon of this polish, the application is a recipe for insanity. I applied five (yes, FIVE) coats of this goopy mess over an opaque white...

    The consistency of this polish is terrible. The polish is too thin... too matte... and dries too quickly making the application streaky. The color looks like neon snot instead of the hot...

    Such an absolutely gorgeous colour-and on my nails, it's failed. I like neons a lot, so I gave myself a manicure with it. One coat, two coats, three coats, four, and five-with 6 on some nails-and I...

    Application is HORRIBLE. I applied a base coat, 5 coats of color, and 2 coats of top coat to get the shine I wanted on my fingernails. That's 8 coats, altogether, just to have my nails looking...

    As others have noted before me, on its own, this polish just won't do. It's a spectacular colour, and the day I wore it I received a few compliments... but it requires several coats in order to...

    The consistency of this polish is gross. I wanted to like it because it's such a cool idea for a color, but after applying 3 coats (and refusing to apply any more) I gave up. It dries matte, but...

    i had to apply 6 coats to get it to look somewhat even. by then, the nail polish was so thick that it came off in chunks two days later (even though i applied a base and top coat). needless to say,...

    I had to apply 8 coats to get the color . It's really too much. A real disappointment. Lovely color though.

    A wonderfully bright and attention-grabbing 'highlighter yellow' color. I needed 3 coats of this for an even application, but WOW was it worth it! This is not for the timid, and if you have last...

    Essie's Funky Limelight is a neon/highlighter yellow for Spring/Summer 2009. It has no shimmer; it's a creme polish. I had heard that this shade had troublesome application, but I hoped to avoid...
