Next post, a quick nail color post. Finally posting the review for this color. I have put this color on at least three times but every time I needed to take pictures of it, I didn't. I've been wearing this since Tuesday night and although there are dents and chips, I am not going to redo and rewear it for at least a few months so here we are!
Essie claims:
sassy, stylish and darling, just so south beach. chic and modern, this dreamy coral nail lacquer is an artistic burst of color that creates a manicure masterpiece.
I bought this color as a "vacation" color a couple years back. I just love a bright, pink/ orange, or coral for vacation and I was drawn to this color.
It's a pretty and I think it used to be very unique at one point. I think there are dupes of it now. And likely Essie has duped itself. It's a coral pink. Super bright. I love the color but I don't think it's the most flattering on me-not even as a pedicure shade. I think it's easier to pull off in the summer heat though. It feels very out of place on me right now. But that never stops me from wearing any color in whatever season.
The thing I dislike the most is the application. It has a tendency to go on streaky. You definitely want to do thicker coats and also want to make sure you grab enough polish on the brush to actually coat the nail. Too little and it creates more streaks and becomes even more frustrating to work with. So I like to grab a lot. Luckily even though I do thicker coats I don't find it takes any longer to dry.
Wear time is going to depend on your base/top coats. I think it wears a bit better than I was expecting. It looks decent for a few days before I need to take it off.
It's a pretty color...formula is harder to work with. But then again I do have the one with the older brush. It might be easier with the new brush. I like the color but once I use up this bottle I wouldn't repurchase it. Which is probably a good thing because I just looked and it's discontinued...
