Misa - Krystal Water

The other polish I bought from Misa's summer collection which by the way is very similar to the China Glaze Island escape, is this one a blue jelly base with lots of turquoise shimmer.
I found that the China Glazes needed only two coats for opacity, and the Misa needed 3. Another thing I don't like about the Misas is that it shrinks when I apply my Seche vite, and it looks like horendous tip ware.
So this is 3 coats and I didn't like it so much on my skin because it makes my hands look like zombie hands.
Here are the photos:

Essence twins - Bella & Edward

These are a pair of the Essence twins I bought in Lausanne last week. I love the idea, and they looked like fun, so I bought too.
So how do these work: there's a base color, a cream, and on top you add the glitter. I have the twilight version to show you today, as I am sure you have noticed the names of these two polishes.
The cream is a turquoise polish that I love, the formula on these ones is a lot better than their regular collection, that I can find at Auchan, the brush is better too. I applied two coats of Bella, but this is definitely a one coatter.
On top I applied two more coats of the glitter and this is how it came out:
