1) I do not like the brush. It isn't soft and flexible. It is also naturally streaky. Combining these qualities, it becomes very difficult to avoid streaks unless you paint in thick coats, barely dragging the brush across the nail.
2) I do not like the formula of this polish. It is somehow simultaneously thick and watery. It is too watery for me to be able to control it easily and it is too thick to paint nice even coats. You basically plop down polish and try and avoid touching it as much as possible.
3) 3 coats to opacity. I don't mind painting 3 coats. I do it even with some of the best nail polishes in my collection just to get perfect results. But with L'Oreal nail polishes I can't get away from the feeling that I am just wasting nail polish.
4) Color. I don't hate this color. In direct sunlight, it works for me as a nice, interesting take on a neutral. However, in any other lighting it brings out all the red in my skin and just looks wrong. I find this odd since I consider this a blue-toned gray and blue/cool tones usually work for me. However, if you look good in grays or you think this color would work for you, I'd say go for it because it's a pretty gray nail polish. I think this is what I expected Essie's Power Clutch to be like. This polish never darkens to black. It always stays a nice medium shade of gray.

Not as color accurate as the other pictures but do you see what I mean about the blue-tone?
One streaky first coat
