It's not a creme polish (sadly as I often do not want shimmer), but the shimmer is pretty subtle and it's the best yellow I've worked with, pale or not. If you're careful it is almost good in one coat, just not quite. But it definitely can be done in two.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618418023068293911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-86293415264093938032011-09-08T07:49:06.253-07:002011-09-08T07:49:06.253-07:00Another vote for sally hansen yellow kitty.

Lippmann, you often get around that problem...but not always. I also cannot think of any pastel yellow DL that has been made in the recent past, certainly none in the current for sale market. You might try putting a really good cream nude shade down first - then your cream yellow for the next 2 coats and see how you do.beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-75528078193851511992011-08-29T08:55:49.555-07:002011-08-29T08:55:49.555-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-62155811805218248282011-08-29T08:52:34.889-07:002011-08-29T08:52:34.889-07:00Wish the application was better, this polish looks...Wish the application was better, this polish looks very pretty!
