Absolutely love this polish. I wanted to give my nails a break from press ons. Love how it looks like my nails but cleaner/healthier. Picture doesn’t do it justice. I did 1 coat of Essie strong start base coat and 1 coat of the color hi maintenance (#100).

Very beige. I wish it had a bit more of a pinky/peachy hue. The photos on real hands look more true to the actual colour; the photos of the Essie jar look a lot more pink than it actually is.

Hello Jennyfromtheblock. Thank you for sharing your results with color 'topless & barefoot'. While we describe this color as a soft beige pink, we appreciate knowing you would prefer something similar with a bit more pink.
Great polish, terrible shipping.

essie bordeaux: lovely burgundy shade perfect for fall/winter, but I didn’t like the formula at all.. too sheer: even after 3 coats it remained uneven, they should definitely reformulate

Hello Robi! Thanks for sharing your experience with your recent puchase of the color Bordeaux! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This color should be a deep red wine nail polish and by the second coat your color should be perfect.
