    This is a really beautiful shade of cool brown/taupe and works well for fall or winter. It’s a bolder neutral that works for the office but also for more dressy occasions. It has a thin brush...

    Gorgeous color. Soft but bold, neutral but versatile. It's a cool-toned grey-brown with purple undertones, and on my extremely pale hands, it's dark enough to be bold and noticeable without being...

    Very lovely brown/grey/taupe color for the fall. Very chic and stays on for 4-5 days with top-coat. Looks better with 2 coats.

    Like not love this polish. It is a muted greige purple color. Not sure why people say it looks black in the dark because no way shape or form does this lean black. A very muted purple mulberry...

    This color is a purple/gray shade. It is a muted color that is not very bright but still pretty. I love essie polishes but I feel like this one is a little thick and because the color is on the...

    This is a lovely medium taupe-grey. The finish is slightly glossy, which I like. I wish it had just a touch more purple in it, then it would be perfect for me. I am not much of a nail polish-wearer...

    This is a gorgeous grey purple. It's like a berry taupe I guess, hard to explain. It suits cool toned people best in my opinion because it's very cool. This is great for me on my fair cool skin....

    Interesting & unusual shade. I'm very fair, and from a distance it almost looks black or very dark grey/purple. I like it on its own or with a sheer shimmery topcoat that can bring out different...

    This polish is one of my favorites. The color itself suits very well with very fair skin, or olive/tan skin. I would not recommend it for those with a darker complexion as the darkness is not...

    Purplish greige-very flattering! I think sally hansen's commander in chic is nearly identical to this shade if you'd like to save a few bucks. A must own, loved wearing this in the fall.

    As someone who is average at applying nail polish, this is another one of Essie's great polishes in terms of application. I also love this colour for winter/autumn - it is grey/purple with a hint...

    Application was hard work. With the first coat I did my normal thing which is thin coats but getting smooth coverage was really difficult. So second and third coats were very very thick, formula...

    This is my go-to nail polish for fall-winter! It goes on flawlessly and is never streaky. It always evens itself out. Two coats (or maybe three thin coats) and you're good to go! It dries quickly...

    This is my go-to polish in the fall/winter. I get so many compliments on it! In some light, it looks like a dark grey, and in others it looks like a deep mauve colour. Two coats and you're good to go!
