Nails ~ Red(?)

This is Essie's Camera from their 2012 Summer line I believe... I previously talked about it. I am SO disappointed to be honest... I expected this colour to be a bright, corally-neony-pink... but it looks so RED. I already have a bright red like this from Essie.. ;~; It's called e-nuf is e-nuf -.- If I wanted red nails, I would have painted it with a RED colour.. but Camera is obviously not a red, judging from the bottle... -sigh- So disappointed. :c

Essie's Camera, The Face Shop's WH005 and OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle (the little moon shapes were placed individually, separate from polish) -- this is 3-4 coats, btw

Essie's Camera

 SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THIS!! It looks sooo much more pink/corally in the bottle.. Someone could actually say "no.. that's not the colour on your nails..." BUT IT IS.... So disappointed.. :c I want it to come out the way it looks in the bottle... T_T

OPI Servin' Up Sparkle, The Face Shop WH005, little moon-shaped things c:

 These are the things I used on my index, middle and ring finger.

Close-ups of The Face Shop WH005 - look at the little stars ^^ and the little moon shaped things.

-Sigh- So, in conclusion... if you wanted to get Essie's Camera... don't. Unless you really do want a bright red instead of a bright, corally-neon pink.. I guess I should've done some research on the polish before getting it... :c This is the first Essie polish I've been disappointed in. I hope it's the last. :c

I looked up some swatches online...

Swatch from thepolishaholic.com

 This is more like what I want... a jelly-looking neon pinky coral... :c I wish it looked more like this.. Maybe it's cuz I put too many coats on? :/ The blog I got this swatch from doesn't say how many coats they used though :c Sigh~

Swatch from swatchandlearn.com

This is more what it looks like on me.. It's not pink, but an orangey-red. :/ Not what I wanted...
Anyway, that's all for now ._.
