Julep describes Stella as "mustard yellow. Yes, you CAN wear this on your hands! It might even match your new purse." And really, what else can I say? While this isn't the bright yellow of French's, mustard yellow is exactly how I would describe this. I don't know when this was released, but the color is pretty on trend right now.
The formula on Stella, though, is not stellar. I mean, the polish is pretty pigmented for a yellow polish but it's very streaky. I needed three coats to even it out and I still wasn't completely satisfied that it was streak-free, but too lazy to put on another coat. Luckily, the camera didn't seem to pick it up, so perhaps I was imagining it.

Stella is very similar to another polish I have, American Apparel Manila. They're both streaky mustard yellows. I need to do a side-by-side comparison. I really like this funky color, which is kind of ugly-pretty. I just wish the formula was a bit better! I do like this though, so thanks to Amanda!
It looks very pretty on you! :-)
