This shade is indeed a milky, peachy-pink. The slight peachy tone looks yellow, not peach. While almost every polish I own is OPI, this one is streaky and requires 3 coats for good opacity. It's just ok. I prefer Dulce de Leche.

This is a peachy nude that almost matches my skin perfectly. The colour is just off enough to look really weird on me though so I am not a fan (I am very fair). I know some people don't like when muaers give bad reviews based on colour but this review is not for OPI in general it's for this particular shade, so I think colour should be used in part to determine the rating you give. The application is VERY streaky, I could not get it to apply streak free no matter what I tried. The finish is not very shiny so if you are looking for shine you'll need a topcoat. The formula lasts about as long on me as other OPIs, no difference there. Would not repurchase.

I was looking for a colour that matches my ballet tights which are a peachy pink. This was the closest I could find and I'm really happy with this shade. It can be slightly streaky but this is not a major problem for me, I spray on some express dry spray and it seems to even it out fairly well. This is opaque in 2 coats, I'm a bit baffled that other reviewers have such problems with this polish. I do think that price is a bit steep (I payed 12 euros for it which IMO is quite a lot for a polish but this colour came closest to my tights).
I will wear this as one coat as well as two coats, so sheer and opaque. When sheer it gives my nails this really well-taken care of look, perfect for the office I do my thesis at. Opaque it's a bit more poppy but still nice enough for work.

For people that find the colour too peachy I suggest layering it with a cooler pink, that should do the trick.

If I ever run out I would probably repurchase.

I may upgrade this to a 5. I really love this shade on my hands and my toes. It's a pink-peach creme that has enough kick to make it just a bit more noticeable than a nude, and makes my skin (NC27) look lightly tanned. It does go a litte streaky if the brush doesn't have enough polish on it, so I've learned to be generous with each nail - no streaks. Really pretty, feminine shade.

This is the worst OPI nail polish I have ever owned. It is a milky peach pink color but for me is was super streaky. I must have gotten a bad one because it seems from pictures and other review people could get theres go go opaque and look nice. Mine is super streaky and smelled worse then sprain paint. I got mine at trade secret and I was looking for a good french mani color. Then when it was streaky the first coat I felt layering it and it wouldn't go even. This sits in my collection sinces it pretty much impossible.

The shade is a very soft, feminine pink, almost like bubblegum pink but not as bright and with a more neutral hue. It looks much like the color of cherry blossoms. Perfect for the name. The polish itself is long-lasting and chip resistent. OPI is a very popular brand because of its high quality. It is expensive nail polish, but totally worth it for the amount and quality you get. The bottle is sturdy as well--but don't deliberately try dropping it on the floor to see for yourself!

This was my first OPI nail polish, and it was so bad that it's almost put me off the brand. The colour is a semi-sheer light warm pink, that applies paler than it looks in the bottle. It is very streaky and I found it impossible to paint my nails well with this. I preferred two coats, as three coats made the colour go too light for my taste, but due to the streakiness, achieving a good finish with two layers was more or less impossible. I also struggled with the brush, as my nail beds are long and very curved, which means that the brush is not wide enough to cover the nail with one stroke (except the nail on my little finger), but not thin enough to do two or three individual strokes. I am especially annoyed as OPI is not cheap in the UK, at £10 a bottle. And what is even more annoying is that somebody had stolen the fake sample nail of this colour from the OPI display in Selfridges, so I couldn't even get to see it properly before I bought it!

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. This looked like a pale blushy pink in the bottle but it came out as a peachy beige. I can honestly not imagine a skin tone that this could be flattering on. And as I've found with all OPI polishes, it streaks like crazy and globs up on the nails, leaving an uneven, stripey, gooey finish.
The only good thing I can say about it is that it's the first light OPI polish I've come across that actually has any pigment. All the other light pinks/peaches come out as just a white milky film on my nails, and it takes about 5 coats to even get that.
I am really not understanding the hype over OPI at all. I'm through wasting my money on this brand.

Edit: I was so desperate to try to make this polish work for me (so sick of wasting money on OPI) that I decided to try altering the colour. It kind of worked. I added 3 drops of red polish to it and it took away the excessive peachyness. It also applies a little bit nicer. I actually kind of like it now. It's still a bit streaky though because, afterall, it is still OPI.

Wait... scratch that. It's still far too streaky to be useable.

For what I paid, I don't think it's worth it. This is my first OPI nail polish, and I was very disappointed.
It comes off as a milky pink rather than peach which is what I dislike about it. It's sheer and streaky which really wasn't what I expected out of a OPI nail polish. Normally I expect 2 coats to suffice, but I lean towards 3 with this.
It dries very slowly, and if you're not careful, you can leave marks on your nail polish.
After it dries completely (about 1 day later), it's very good at not chipping which is possibly the only good thing about this.

This was in a sale bin at my local Trade Secret so I pick it up. It is a really pretty light nail polish. It's a peachy pink. It drys slower then other opi nail polishes and the smell reminds me of spray pain instead of nail polish smell.

I absolutely love this color!!! It is my go-to color when I want to have natural looking manicure. It never chips on me and is super easy to apply. This would be the one polish that I would continue to buy no matter what the price of it would be!

I love love love light pink polishes, but I've found it difficult to find the right shade until I came across this one! Either it's way too light, it becomes transparent or it's not light enough. This one's just perfect. I change my nail polish often, but when I'm wearing this, I actually keep it on!

I really hate this polish. It applies streaky and the colour is very unflattering on me. I think that's all that really needs to be said about this polish.

This is one of the rare colors I can not stand to see on myself! I am a NW25 and this color was just too peachy for me.. however, in the summer when I had a little more of a tan it looked better.. but I gave it away anyway..

This colour is not sheer, neutral or peachy on my nails. After two coats (applied by a manicurist) it is a streaky milky pink which doesn't suit my skin tone. Feel I wasted my money, and can't wait to take it off - but it's staying on quite well and having paid to have it done, I'm leaving it for a few more days!

Hopelessly In Love is a peachy/pinky creme color. It's quite sheer and you need 3 coats plus good technique to bring out the nice color. Otherwise, I find that it's quite streaky. It doesn't take long to dry but I would hope if it's more opaque so the coverage is good after 2 coats, not 3. Although I gave a rating of 3, I will still buy it again as I think once I got the technique right, it's actually a very pretty color. I will still buy it again and I guess it will take me several practices to get the finishing right.

Very nice peachy-pink. Takes three coats to cover completely, but very lovely.

I don't know if I got an off bottle, but Hopelessly in Love is an exact dupe of Essie Mademoiselle on me. And everything that I like and dislike -mainly dislike - about the Essie applies to this as well.
It's a very flattering pink shade (I see absolutely no peach) but it's a sheer, and I despise sheers because I think they make my nails look yellow. Also, I don't like french manicures. Either way, I bought this because reviewers said that it could be built up to be opaque.
Well: I am wearing SIX coats of this and it is still not opaque. It is nearly there, yes, but I still see my nails and I refuse to apply more coats. The only reason I'm still wearing it is because the color is okay, but I would like this way better if it was a creme. The color, by the way, is the the epitome of work safe. It's a very safe pink: not bright, not pepto bismol reminiscent, not too pale or mod. It's a light pink that has a drop of brightness and great shine.
The wear is great, but this is not at all what I wanted. Oh, and this has the pro brush. I think I'm one of the five people in the world that don't like the pro brush. It's too wide for me and not precise enough.

H.G. milky semi/sheer light pale peach creme! Awesome application and shine. To the reviewer below I guess you received an old or maybe even actually a different color put inside the bottle. I hope not. I just bought mine last month and it is a neutral pale peach that is flawless! No streaking like a few better known sheers(u know what they are ladies lol ;).... also, another HG is Cuddle By The Fire, once again this has no streaking and is the perfect semi/sheer milky off white creme for a quick french mani! Try these both and stay away from the famous ones that take a billion coats to get even and takes forever to dry because of it. These are the only 2 sheers/semi I have and need! Try them out!
