Essence True Love

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Essence True Love!
True Love is a red-tones berry crelly (creme/jelly) polish.

The formula was great. It was smooth and easy to apply. It was a little on the thin side, but nothing too bad. The opacity was amazing and I reached full opacity with two easy coats. Look how shiny it is!
