Pinkish watermelon coral (more pink than orange), semi-opaque with 1 coat, so 2 coats are required to make it opaque. Nice color for summer!

I am one of those people that just seem to use her hands more than some since a manicure stays in place a maximum of 2 days before it's ruined. So, basically, I never pay someone to do my nails since it'd be a waste. Alas, since I never go too nail salons it seems that I, in turn, have amassed so much nail polish I don't even know what to do with! Why so much, you ask? Well, I've been trying to find a polish that TOLERATES the abuse I do to my fingers and doesn't chip within a few hours.
This is it.
This color is more orange-y than I had thought it'd be but it's still really pretty - kinda feminine, could even be somewhat edgy (if worn with the right attire). And of course the polish last sooooo much longer than other brands I've used. Love Zoya polishes.

Great color, drying time, etc. However, SO disappointed in the color payoff. Zoya's website ranked this as a 5, so it should be opaque in 1-2 coats. After 3 thick coats, I still had visible nail line. Disappointing. I won't be reaching for this much.

This is a very BRIGHT orange/pink! Looking at swatches on amazon and zoya's website made me expect a paler, pinker color, closer to the color of watermelon than a strong coral, and when I got the bottle I thought it was very bright and more orange than expected. The photo here does it better justice. That said, I do like it! It looks really nice on me and is a really great summer color.

After reading a couple of reviews and looking at a few swatches, I decided this would be a great coral colour. However, when I went to the store to purchase it, it looked really orange in the bottle, not coral at all. I thought I'd try it out anyway and when I painted it on my nails it was coral. Holding my nails against the bottle looks really strange because my actually bottle is definitely orange haha.. not sure if anyone else has said that before but anyway

Application was nice but it is extremely sheer. I have 3 coats on and there is still visible nail line if you look up close. To me that's a shame because this kind of colour is not one where i'd like to go with the sheer look, I'd prefer if it was fully opaque in two coats.

Overall, while I like this polish, I would probably not purchase it again because I have other coral colours similar that apply much more opaque.

The color of this, to me, is a 5 but the sheerness lowers it to a 4! I have to say, it needs at least 2 but probably 3 coats to get rid of the nail line. Although the color of this is beautiful. It is pure coral, to me you can't say this is more orange or pink because it is a true mix of the two. It is bright and great on toes(and fingers!) and definitely brings out the yellow tones of skin.

Elodie is a super bright coral creme leaning quite strongly on the orange side. Reminds me of Essie Cubby Cheeks in both colour and application. It was opaque in two coats which I was rather happy with. It's a pedicure polish for me since I wouldn't be able to get away with this colour at work. Lasts quite well on toes without a top coat too.

This is a great color, but I cannot stand Zoya polishes. Every one I got last year for their recycle program I did not like. I chips easily, goes on unevenly, and takes forever to dry. . . For the price I'd rather spend the extra $2 (or $2 less if it is on sale) and by Sephora by OPI because they have awesome colors that dry quickly and last a long time.

I love this color so, so much. It's one of my favorite Zoya polishes. It looks bright pink in some lights and orange in others, but mostly it's a bright cheerful coral creme. I love it as a pedi color on my NC30 skin. It's a little streaky, but it evens out by the third coat. Poshe or Seche Vite topcoat will even it right out if there are bumps.

Wow, this was really pretty on Zoya's website and on the nail polish bloggers but man was it NOT nice on me, Maybe my skin is too dark...but I have yet to find an orange nail polish that compliments my skin. I gave it to my mom.

Zoya Elodie is a super bright coral creme with the perfect amount of pink and orange. I need three coats for the best colour and coverage, because with one coat, it's streaky and a little sheer. The second coat evens it out a little, but it's still not fully opaque and still a bit streaky. The third coat provides flawless coverage and colour. On my tanned skin, I don't think it looks too good or maybe I'm just not used to it because of the brightness. In my first photo, I just couldn't capture the hot brightness of this coral, it looks like a muted, dusty pink, but really, it's an extremely bright coral creme. It certainly is very different to what I'm used to wearing (deep blues and purples, burgundies, vamps, holos), but I think it will be perfect on fair skin tones in summer. This would make a really cute, fun pedi at the beach, bright and so perfect for this!

I am cool toned so I was worried this wouldn't work for me, but it definitely does! To me, it looks like a bright coral cream. One coat is totally opaque and this stuff lasts forever! I even helped a friend pack and move and I had no tip wear or chipping for five days. I am extremely happy with this polish.

This is a beautiful bright coral and I am delighted to have finally found the perfect mix of pink and orange to match my NC25 warm toned skin. The picture on Zoya site is close to the real thing, although it looks a lot brighter in reality and it's a cream finish (no shimmer).
Like with all Zoya polishes, it contains less toxic chemicals and it lasts surprisingly long.
Perfect colour for summer!

The Zoya website describes Elodie (named for a character on MTV's "The Hills") as a "bold, poppy cream." I describe it as gorgeous. It's this great mix of pink and melon tones and it's not too orange. I'm pretty fair, so I was a little worried before I actually applied it, but it's really flattering! This shade is fun for summer, but I think you could probably wear it to work. I have gotten so many compliments from complete strangers, and you can't beat the Zoya formula. With a good top coat, it lasts me several days, and I can put some wear and tear on a mani.
