The colour isn't very nice on me (too light - kind of white and dead-looking on my Asian NC25 skin), so I'm going to try mixing it with Malaysian Mist.

My main complaint though is the formula - with three coats (no base/top), this didn't dry properly after 12 hours, which I think is a bit excessive! I think the culprit is either toluene or dibutyl phthalate, both of which aren't in my other OPI polishes. I'm going to try my luck with Seche Vite on top, but if that doesn't work I'm considering leaving the lid off for a bit then adding in ethyl acetate which will hopefully lead to a better drying formula.

I don't know why other people don't have this problem though, maybe there's more than one formula?

This is a very light cafe-au-lait colour. It's sheer in 1 or 2 coats, opaque at 3. Mine went on streaky so I applied 3 coats to even it out.
Also, does anyone else get print marks and dents for days after because some sheers seem to stay slightly soft? Apply a topcoat like Poshe! It makes your sheer look even more elegant, and the topcoat will not dent at all.
The second photo above is true to real life colour

HG for a semi sheer soft creamy off white. It gives the perfect quick french tip like nails. I use my base coat and 1-2 coats of this and bam gorgeous nails. This is NOT STREAKY people! Like other more popular and famous "original sheers".(you know what they are!) lol! This applies like a dream. I am so surprised there is not more reviews for this. I gather everyone wants to stick with the original pale cream sheers that streaks and sux like crazy! P.S..... Also try, "Hopelessly In Love" it ROCKS TOO for a peachy /semi/sheer! So, listen ladies..... Just try this... it rocks! HG Status!

this is my HG nude/beige nail polish... just one coat is enough to get the color in the bottle... its not like other pastel/nude polishes that require at least two coats for it to show up on your nails...


im already on my 3rd bottle
