NOTD Essie My Place Or Yours?

i like the name and i like the colour - a medium WARM bubblegum pink.  very wearable - not too barbie/slutty.
what i don't like about this:
1. texture - too sheer (i needed 3 coats) and too liquidy
2. staying power: although such a beautiful colour, i get tip wear usually on the first day wearing it. :( even with a top coat.
3. the brush - too hard i tend go scratch the underneath layers when i apply the next, esp. on the "roots" of the nail (you know what i mean - when you get this marks)

i used Essie's Good To Go  as top coat with this.

sorry, these are the best pictures for a "bad-cuticle-day" ;)
