Essie Rock The Boat

purchased by me

Rock The Boat was one of my $4 Essies, and as pretty as the color is, I'm glad I didn't pay full price.  A whitened light blue, Rock The Boat had the typical pastel difficulties of being streaky and sheer.  It took four coats to get to opacity, and it still didn't self-level all that well.  The trademark Essie silver shimmer is visible only in the bottle.

Rock The Boat is technically Limited Edition, because it was part of last year's Naughty Nauticals collection, but it's still available at etailers like Head2ToeBeauty.
