So I painted my nails again and I thought, what the hell might as well blog about it!
So the colour I have on, and the one above is Power Clutch by Essie.
On Essie's website they describe Power Clutch as 'a striking, deep grey-green'. This polish is for sure more grey than green. In the photos with flash you can see the little hints of green but over all it's a lot more grey, especially when it's not in direct light. By just glancing at it it looks a lot like just a plain dark grey colour, little to no green in there. If you like the polish in the bottle be aware that it does dry a lot darker than it looks when you're painting it on. When it dries it pretty much comes off looking how it does in the photo with no flash below.
As for the overall formula of the polish I have a low/hate relationship with Essie. Most of their polishes, mainly the lighter colours, come off as very sheer to me. Like if someone just ones a one coat polish, Essie is not for you. Below I have two coats on and to be honest after one coat my left hand looked fine but when I painted with less precision on my right hand it was streaky and sheer. So this one has better coverage than any other Essie polishes I have but still isn't as opaque as the OPI and China Glaze polishes I own.
