    I'm completely peeved with this nail polish...and after how many times I've tried this color I have finally given up. Once again looking at the milky pink in the bottle, it really does not appear...

    I was recently at Target and I noticed that the Spring Collection 2011 was on clearance and I thought that French Affair was a pretty color and it was only $5.45!! This color is a bubblegum pink...

    French Affair is a beautiful light glossy blush pink. I got it cheaper because I found a good deal.

    This color is perfect for my skin tone (fair, but light tan in summer). I LOOOOVE it. It's a pretty baby orchid pink, more on the cool spectrum. I don't have a problem with application. I tend...

    I agree that the first coat of this polish is streaky, but the color evens with a second coat. The pink is a little too bright for me in the summer, when I'm tanner, but would be nice in March or...

    I use two coats for this color. On me, this comes off as a cotton candy pink. It is a great color of summer. It's really opaque with two coats. For some reason, this polish seems kind of gunky...

    I got this colour as one of my first essie polishes, and it wasn't i had in mind. The formula was thick and goopy and left distinctive streaks. However the streaks would disappear slightly in the...

    This is more of a flirty pale pink. I have fair skin so it doesn't stand out too much. I do find that its a bit streaky so I use two coats and a glossy top coat. IMO it would be great for occasions...

    On my naturally tan (olive-yellow) Asian skin, this actually looks fairly nice. It's almost a bubblegum color on me. In the bottle, it's a milky light pink. I used this on my toes since I'm...

    I have 2 coats (3 would be better) on my toes and it's a "cute" color (pinky with lilac/blue undertones). This is my 1st delve into milky/creamy pastelly colors and I have to say I like it. This...

    Ugh, I wish I would've seen these reviews before I bought this one today! I just put some on my nails and it definitely IS a streaky, chalky hot mess. I usually love the quality of Essie... but...

    I keep trying and I can't get this stuff to go on without looking streaky. Too bad cause the color itself is pretty. Reminds me of the lilac shade by Revlon a bit.

    From the bottle, French Affair look great but the polish itself is VERY streaky. For essie nail polishes, 2 coats is enough for me but for french affair, I had to apply 4 coats for it to look...

    **update** It's still streaky but I found it much easier to work with after a few drops of polish thinner. Yes, a few drops even for the mini bottle. I'm wearing it now and I love how it looks,...
