Essie - Smooth Sailing

Smooth Sailing is a cornflower blue packed with shimmer.  You've all seen this one a bajillion times.

Basecoat:  NailTek Foundation II (1 coat)
Color:  Essie Smooth Sailing (3 coats)
Topcoat:  David (1 coat)

Smooth Sailing might have the best application of any Essie I own.  No streaking, easy to control, no bald patches.  Beautiful.  This was something I found odd, though - you can see in the middle that I have some VNL, after three coats.  It's actually visible in real life, too.

I picked up two other polishes from the Braziliant collection.  I hope they are as much of a joy to work with as this one.
