Essie: Cute as a Button

I have started writing my entries in advance just because it really helps me keep organize and I don't force myself to do a lot of swatches but I want to have posts keep coming.  I'm not sure if that makes any sense.  I'm trying this new scheduling though.  


I bought Essie's Cute as a Button in 2012 at Shoppers along with Tart Deco.  Honestly, I would have thought it was last year but since I posted Tart Deco early last year and I know I bought this during the summer, it couldn't have been the case. 

Thoughts
I feel like Cute as a Button reminds me of a creme version of Sunday Funday but without the fine shimmer.  This is a pretty coral polish that is jelly-creame, which is what Essie does so well. The polish applied beautifully and I'm not sure if it's because I did it at night but I thought it would have been fine with one coat.  I ended up doing two coats because I was a little uneven with my painting skill.  This is not as dark or as red as Watermelon.

Breakdown
Basecoat: Seche Base
Colour layer: Essie Cute as a button (2 coats)
Topcoat: Seche Vite

I took these at night so it's with lamp light






Morning shot
This would be the truest form but at least in the lamp light, you can see how it appears with different lighting.  

I bought this at Shoppers Drug Mart.  The size is 13.5mL or 0.46 Fl. Oz.
