    I bought this polish thinking it was a pretty shade that would flatter my very, very long natural nails. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the reviews first so I found out it was a thin, see-through...

    Clambake is an orange-red nail polish with a lovely jelly formula. Essentially this means that this colour will apply sheer - you will be able to see your nail line through it at two coats - but...

    A beautiful bright orange-red cream polish. The formula was very sheer and needed 3 coats to be completely opaque. Being so sheer the coats did dry quite quickly! Topped with a topcoat it still...

    I love this color. I have ran out of it already two times. I am olive complexion and in summer I get a golden tan and it looks great on me. I just found one at Marshall's at a discount so I hope...

    The application is very easy with Clambake. It's rather sheer without streaking, so easy to apply but you need at least 2 coats for opaqueness. The color is really bright and flashy, and as far...

    Clambake has become my favourite for the darkest period of the year, since it's such a bright and enegizing shade, a bit like visual vitamin C. Verging on neon, but does not cross the line to...

    A gorgeous, rich medium red-orange jelly. In some lighting, this looks almost cherry red, and in some, it seems more red-coral, and sometimes it leans decidedly orange. Formula is very nice,...

    I really liked this color but I probably wont buy it again. The color is awesome! An orange red thats a 3 coater. My problem with this color is that its way to sheer! You can still see your nail...

    I saw this online on a fair-skinned girl and it looked so pretty-a nice redish-orange. I immediately bought it, excited to try it out for Summer. I have to say, I think this color looks better on...

    I got this polish from a friend; it wasn't a color I would have picked myself. However, it is a really fun, fresh color for summer! Clam Bake is a coralish shade (orange-red with two coats and...

    I'm a huge Essie fan so I'm always trying new colors, which is definitely a hit-or-miss experience. Essie calls this "a creamy red-orange", though it is much more orange than red. Also, this is...

    I LOVE this color for summer! It's a brilliant orange-red that dazzles with a top coat. I keep my nails quite short so I only had to apply 2 coats, but I could see how longer nails would need to...

    This looks so dull without a tan! I used it on my nails and removed it the same day! You cannot get away with two coats, it is far too sheer so 3 coats is another minus for me. I like the award...

    A beautiful red with a hint of orange, perfect for the summer! Here's the problem though: I own a lot of essie polishes and after a lot of chipping an re-applying I found that two thin coats is the...

    I normally don't do orange polish, but this is the exception. Clambake is an orange-red jelly, 3 coater. It's a fun pop of color that looks great with a tan! Essie formulas are inconsistent, but...

    I think it's hard to find the perfect summer red. I desire a red-orange but I always end up with something that has decidedly blue undertones. Then along came Essie's Clam Bake! From the moment...

    This was so sheer! I thought it would be the perfect orange red color, but after three coats my nails are still visible.

    Without a doubt the perfect shade for Summer. As everyone else has noted this is an orange-red and it's bright. No muddiness at all. Just clean, bright color. I got this on sale but would have...
