Zoya’s Stella (Peter Som)

Pretty color…problematic formula. The polish is a bit watery, and applied unevenly. Two coats still had thin spots. Zoya had a similar problem with yellow creme polishes until they released Kerry and Darcy, and I observed some of the same problems with Sharon (another lighter orange creme, also created for Peter Som). More careful application might avoid this problem, but…it's still highly annoying. This is a pretty shade, it's fairly unique, and I'd like it if it applied well.

China Glaze's Sunset Sail, released in the 2010 Anchors Away collection, had the same problems with spreadability and watery consistency. I don't know if this is endemic to softer orange shades, or if companies just think that there won't be much demand for these coral-peach colors…so they don't concentrate on making the formulas thicker.
