UltaEssie Nail Polish in Bikini So Teeny
Essie polish has a two-year (or 24-month) shelf life if it is not opened. How can I make my nail polish last longer on the shelf? Nail polishes can last up to two years with proper maintenance. Keep the nail polish bottle’s neck clean at all times, and store it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.

My heart belongs to glittery polishes, and this adorable bubblegum pink shade is no exception. One coat produces a cheery, barely there finish, while two or three give an eye-catching shimmer. It’s bright and energetic, like a sugar rush in a bottle, and easy to layer.

Soni describes Bikini So Teeny as a baby blue fantasy that was “the number one selling polish during its debut season, and has had a cult following ever since.” It is described as a cornflower blue with a delicate sheen.
