My bottle of this nailpolish is ridiculously streaky, and takes 3 coats to make the color even and by the time I get a topcoat over it all, the polish gets gummy on my nails and wont dry. I am pretty disappointed considering the price I paid for it and how much I love the coral-y pink-orange color.. Come on Essie, you can do better than this.

The color is a soft peach leaning toward pink. I wished it was a real peach and not so pinky, but nevertheless still a great color for the summer. I needed three coats, but after that your nails will look perfect. The formula is bit watery, but it dries fast and the resistency is great.

The colour is perfect: not like the inside of a cantaloupe, more like a soft, summery coral pink, as coral as you can get while still being pale and ladylike. But it's hella streaky. I have to put on three coats to make it look even, and then it chips badly within a couple of days. Essie, you are making me sad.

i love the color peachy - pink to me but on my toes looks more pink than i would like . doesn't look like in the bottle at all.i won't repurchase again because even after 3 coats it's still streaky and not as bright as i thought. i am sure it looks better on darker skin though

I love this color for the spring and summer. It's a medium orangey peach. There isn't any pink in it. The only problem is that it is a cream that has a tendency to apply streaky. I need 3 coats for an even finish. However, the 3 coats will look perfect once done. This satisfies my orange/peach urges without being too orangey. I'm an NC30.

Pretty medium peach-melon shade. Just like the inside of a cantaloupe, but warmer. Makes my PPP toes look tan. :)

This is a perfect creamy melon color with a little pink. I think it works equally well on tips and toes. I just put an extra coat on my toes to punch it up a color. Perfect for spring or summer!

This is a pinky peach with a cream finish that reminds me of a paler and more browned version of Carousel Coral. I'm a very cool-toned PPP and this polish was RAOK'd to me by another great MUAer with similar coloring. She and I almost always tend to go for the same colors, so since this a color she likes, I was sure it would be great for me. Unfortunately, it's only okay for me. The color is really pretty, but it just doesn't look fantastic on my toes. Carousel Coral is much better for me. I think I just need a bit more pink tone because I always have a LOT of trouble carrying off peachier shades. I'm going to try it on tips since they are a slightly different tone than my toes. It's a lovely color, but just not for my toes.

Edit to add: I tried it on my hands and like it much better on my hands than toes, but still think it may be just a bit too peachy for me.
