Parka Perfect

One of the worst polishes I've ever had to use, I'm glad it was only £1 as I'd be returning had I paid full price. It Chips real bad, not just little chips, I don't use ,y hands a lot during the day and I had nails were half of the polish had chopped off before one day was out, I don't think it would even last for a night out so I've passed this one to a neice who is …Read more

This was a great little polish released in the Shearling Darling winter collection for 2013. This is a pretty blue gray creme with a subtle silver microshimmer. The shimmer is not really visible in the dried polish but it is there. This is actually one of the better polish formulas that I have from Essie. This applies like you expect a salon formula polish to, nice easy even application that …Read more

I normally gravitate toward dark blues in the winter, saving pale blue for spring and summer. This, however, is a very unique shade of muted grey-blue with very subtle shimmer.

I got this on clearance at rite aid for $2.18. It's ok. Started to crack and chip after 3 days. Nice blue gray color. I wore on fingers and toes. Got compliments.

Parka Perfect is a gorgeous baby blue shade with a hint of gray. It's perfect on my skin tone and looks like it would look good on everyone. It's opaque with only one coat but I applied two. It lasts a full week and still looks great.

From magazine pictures and looking at the bottle, I was expecting a light sky blue shimmery color. Not at all! It's more like a grey cloudy sky. Not what I wanted at all!

Essie's winter 2013 collection is great, and Parka Perfect might be my favorite shade. It's a dark, gray-ed out teal. It's somewhere between dark teal and navy - less navy than Essie's Bobbing for Baubles. Really flattering, and the formula covers nicely. I've had it on for a week with very little chipping.
