    It leaves a yellowish tone on the nails and you need 3 to 5 coats of this to look decent. It dries down fast, even after so many coats, and smoothly. Would buy in another shade but not this one.

    This and Essie's Ballet Slippers are the only two polishes I wear on my fingernails, not my best feature. I'm NC40/Bobbi Brown 4.5, and NJAPF is a very pretty, sheer nude-pink on my nails. One...

    I love this nail polish. I'd been looking for the perfect nude pink color for a while, and while I kind of wanted to buy the famous Ballet Slippers, one place had a great deal on this brand but...

    This product is amazing and I have no problems at all with it. I love the packaging and the colour is perfect for me. I like the way that you can layer it up to get different shades, I personally...

    The color and texture of this polish is perfect. Two layers did it for me, and it's definitely not sheer. But it started chipping on the day 2 and then layers were just peeling off. That's...

    I have tanned skin with a yellowish/olive undertone and I was pleasantly surprised that this suited me (originally bought for my mom, who's fairer than I). It adds just the right amount of pink to...

    I wanted a muted colour for spring as all my polishes are bold in colour, and this colour didn't disappoint. It's a muted pink - with slight peachy tones to it. It's quite sheer, so at least two...

    After about three years or more of searching for the "perfect" pink opaque nude, I think I have found it. I wanted a shade that did not make my (tan, NC42) hands look washed out but that was not...

    This is just the neutral pink I was looking for!!! It's very sheer, but 2-3 coats is noticeable. The formula is more on the thick jelly side. The color is a soft, fleshy pink + buff tan. I wanted...

    Holy cuticle flood Batman! Its a very sweet colour and the formula is typical essie (streaky at first but evens out after 2-3 coats) but I found this colour to be very prone to cuticle flooding....

    I was a bit disappointed with the formula. It's just like Essie's Luscious Lips polish, sheer. I think Essie intended this to be worn that way but I prefer a opaque finish. Took three coats to get...

    I love this nail varnish! It's a light/medium slightly dusty pink, with no sparkle or shimmer, and in Essie's trademark high-shine jelly-ish finish. It looks great against my skin tone - my face is...

    This was my first Essie purchase, and sadly I am not real pleased. The color is so very pale on me that it takes at least four coates to get a hint of color. I tried several times, but I could...

    Do not like the thin essie brushes, but love the fomula and color. This looks like a muted pink nude on me. Very subtle, almost my nail color only alittle lighter. Very opaque, base coat,2 coats...

    I bet this is gorgeous with 3+ coats and a tan, but one or two coats on pale skin is like you have a clear coat on. Not for me, but it is a nice color for someone with darker skin.

    I was always looking for a kind of understated pink, without pearl or glitter effects, not too light (Mademoiselle for example is not pink enough for my linking), and not screaming "Barbie" at the...

    Not Just a Pretty Face is from the Here Comes the Sun collection released Summer 2009. It is a light warm pink creme with a touch of beige that is sheer with 1 & 2 coats, but would be opaque with...
