I was a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, and this was the nail polish I used. In the bottle and on the Essie website, Vinyl Bikini is a translucent, foggy-looking white colour. If you look really hard, you can see a fine white shimmer under certain light. I did French on both fingers and toes, which is a rarity, but it was a wedding. On my toes, I used one coat of OPI Alpine Snow for the white tips, one coat of Essie Allure, and three (yes three!) coats of Vinyl Bikini. My toes looked like frosted glass, and I got a couple of compliments! On my fingers, one coat each of Allure and Vinyl Bikini (in that order) went over the French Tip White. Again, the look was like frosted glass. If I get married, I would definitely consider this look!
