Skirting is not the Issue

How about a classic red, a beautiful deep jelly, a feminine, vampy and sexy manicure? Could Essie's Skirting the Issue provide us with that?



Oh how luscious these three coats of translucent hotness look! Until you look too closely and see the bubbles. And then you remember what application was like. And then you just want to cry.

Skirting the Issue could have had everything. It could have been the femme fatale-ish intellectual hot stuff. Instead it's just a miserable, depressive failure. Skirting the Issue is lying in its bed, crying over how thick, gluey and streaky it is, when, if it had just been blessed with a better formula, could have been the most beautiful of them all.

Now it's just a bitter memory of a failed career as our go-to vampy red.

Swedish word of the day:
sorglig -adjective sad
Skirting the Issue really is.

  4. Oh no! I wonder if your bottle is dodgy somehow? I have Skirting the Issue too, and I love it - and no problems yet. What a shame.

    1. I'm very glad to hear that! You should hug your bottle and treat it like a baby. :D A friend of mine has her own bottle, and she had the very same problems I did. I have even tried my bottle twice, and it was just as horrible both times. :/

  6. We have to sympathize with how unfortunate this polish is LOL shame about the application, the shade does look alright though.

  7. Sad day! I hate it when a polish holds so much promise and then disappoints.

    1. I highly doubt it, since it's also very streaky. :/ But thankfully there are other great reds out there! :)

  10. Formulan i min flaska var jättebra och täckte på 3 lager, inga konstigheter alls. :)

    1. Det kan förstås vara en preferensfråga också! Eller så cirkulerar det flera batchar av vilka någon är mycket sämre...
