I just bought this color last week and had the same problems! It looks great in the bottle, but I had the hardest time applying it and as you said, it takes FOREVER to dry! I posted a picture a few posts ago and you can see how streaky it is...on top of my crappy application, lol  . Definitely the worst China Glaze polish I've purchased so far, which is unfortunate because it's a really pretty color.

at least i know i didn't get a dud bottle then! i'm actually removing it from my nails before i go out today because i dislike it so much! i've give it to a friend but i'd feel bad knowing how crappy it is!

You could order Essie on ebay or on one of the US online stores like head2toebeauty.com, 8ty8beauty.com or transdesign.com.

Re: Notd
Sorry about the tip wear! I have a chemistry lab every week, and we have to use acetone to clean up our equipment.
butter London - Come to Bed Red
Classic, sexy true red. Doesn't lean too blue or orange on me. I like it, but I prefer orange- or warm-based reds on me.
