ESSIE - NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE



Essie describes this color as a "a naturally pinkish nude" and I can't disagree with it. It is a nude, a nice nude, but in my opinion it would look better on a darker skintone. (I'm NW15-20 at MAC, just for reference.) 


The application is not bad, the formula is good too. The first coat is really sheer and a little bit streaky, when you apply the second coat it is a little bit more opaque, but not entirely and it is still streaky a tiny bit. The third coat is nicely opaque, but I think you definitely need 3 coats. It dries nicely, not too quick but not too long either.

3.coat

Overall it is a nice color if you are looking for a pink nude color. But honestly I don't reach for this product that often simply because it just does not suit very well to my skintone.
