This color is a metallic nude with a hint of rose pink. One nice thing is that it lasts a long time with a good topcoat. I plan to repurchase this at some point.

This is a really lovely metallic rose gold nail polish :) It is very opaque and applies evenly without brushstroking in 2 coats and no pooling or blotching issues! I'm loving it paired with OPI's Every Month is Oktoberfest (a vampy shimmering plum).

Poetic is a difficult color to describe... mid-tone rosy-brown? Pinkish-bronze? It has some warm tones, but also enough pink that I think it would work on a variety of skintones. But the thing that really makes this polish special is the finish -- it has a lovely metallic finish, almost with a hint of smokey undertone. (The finish reminds me a lot of metallic mineral eyeshadows, like Aromaleigh's Elemental Lustres or Meow Cosmetic's Egyptian collection if anyone is familiar with those.) Overall, this is a great "neutral with a kick" sort of color -- it's not too bright, not too brown, mid-tone, subdued enough for everyday looks, but with a gorgeous metallic finish to prevent it from being boring.

This color is opaque enough that you can almost get by with one coat if you apply it perfectly the first try, and it lasts a long time with a good top coat.
