you’ll need a darker colour under the shiny top coat to get that look. I got the same (and some other shiny colours) and I use grey, darker red or blue under the shiny coat - it creates beautiful shiny colours. I mostly go for grey nowadays because I love the sparkling - but for u blue seems to be the correct colour to get close to the look from the bottle
ya, I know as a standalone nail polish it’s nothing like in the bottle (same with the other shiny essie ones)🥲 I kinda like this freedom now because I get to create my own colour-shine-mixtures. Oh and I recently added the new gel-like top coat from essie on top of these and it looked supercool. I always go with base coat, colour, shiny and top coat - sometimes two shiny layers if I wanna sparkle extraordinary 😄
