Preppy Pink

Following the strict line of nail polish blogging logic, after a huge post about a beauty expo next comes a post with the swatches of the recent haul. For some unknown reason, I picked China Glaze Preppy Pink first, although I got much more interesting shades too. Maybe because I was lemming Preppy Pink for so long (couple of years for sure), and now...

...and now to be honest I'm not sure if I'm happy to have it. Preppy Pink is a pale coral pink jelly base stuffed with opalescent glitter. Applies nicely in 2 coats and has a gritty surface. On the photos you see it without any top coat.

Preppy Pink didn't fulfil at least 3 of my expectations: 1) it's less pink and much more coral than I thought; 2) it's much more opaque than I expected; and 3) it doesn't match my skin tone, which I hoped will not happen. One pro vs. two cons. Hm. Could they have changed the formula? Because seriously, what I got is totally different from what I saw on the swatches : {

But you know what? I'll give it a second chance someday. Next time I will surely layer it over pink and cover with a top coat. As for now, enough of it.
