I can't believe I haven't done a post on this. Well I used this as a base for my Formula X Cherry Blossom look but I have liked Bikini So Teeny for a while. I bought this when it first came out in 2012. This was also my base that I used to win an Instagram contest.
Bikini so Teeny is a light blue with subtle shimmer that is so subtle, you can't even see it after it dries. However, in certain lighting you can kind of see that it adds a little depth to the polish.
Thoughts
Bikini so Teeny is the type of Essie polish that is batch on the first coat and really nice on the second. I have photos of two coats and I ended up painting three coats to have a nice opaque coat. I have worn this with two coats only before. I think it was just the day I was painting with this that required three coats for full opacity.
This has nothing to do with the wear or formula of the polish but basically I really like this colour.

Basecoat: Seche Base
Colour layer: Essie Bikini So Teeny (3 coats)
Topcoat: none

Two Coats no top coat
Three coats no top coat
I was doing something with this as my base, which is why I don't have a top coat. If I used a top coat, I think the polish would be nicely even and would be very pretty.
This is taken another time. Two coats and no top coat taken at night.

I bought Bikini so Teeny in 2012. It is still available and I think it's part of the permanent line now.
