Splash Of Grenadine + MAC primer

I wanted to buy the MAC Prep+Prime, so I ordered it from Nordstrom's, and of course I couldn't resist adding a polish as well - I picked Essie Splash of Grenadine:

I had a sample of the Prep+Prime (from a past Nordstrom purchase? I'm not sure) and I really liked it. I haven't regularly used primers but I notice I come home from work a lot of nights and my makeup is mostly gone. With this it does seem to do better.

I've tried the polish out - it ended up underneath "Fairy" in my mani a couple of weeks ago. It's not bad, but it's sheer. I think I'll end up wearing it but it's maybe not the best choice I could have made since I do have other similar things.
