Sinful Shine Bananappeal - Influenster Vox Box

I've been meaning to get my hands on some Sinful Shine polishes for a while - I just haven't gotten around to it. So, imagine my excitement when I received my Sunkissed Vox Box from Influenster, and opened it to find Bananappeal: an absolutely lovely, bright yellow creme that just SCREAMS summer!

Unfortunately, I was unable to capture the exact color of this polish - it has a tiny bit of an orange tint to it, but these pictures are showing up purely yellow. So, imagine this perfect summer color, and then imagine it even MORE perfect. ;-)

As is expected with yellow polishes, the application was not the best. The first coat was verrrrry streaky, but I fixed that right up with a thick second coat. I probably should have gone with a third coat just to cover any unevenness.  I highly recommend topcoat for this one - not because of a lack of shine (actually the shine was amazing without topcoat) but because the topcoat really helped to even out the polish.

I was disappointed with the formula of this polish - the polish sort of started to dry as I was applying it - which is stinky for a regular manicure, but AWESOME for a sugar-spun mani! ...but nevertheless, that is not how a formula should be, in my opinion.

What do you think? Is this color too bright for you, or would you totally go bold and rock it this summer?
