Pistol Packin' Pink is a peach/pink shimmer. The finish is kind of pearly/frosty color. I really love it on warm/tan skinned tone. It compilments the tanned skin tone very well.
The downside of the color is it's very hard to make it look well. May be it's too thick to apply. It does take longer to dry. I have to put three coats so that it will be opaque but it takes very long to dry. Although it is hard to work on, I really love this color on fingers and toes.

This is a nice creamy color, but it isnt something that I reach for that often. I do like it on my fingernails, not so much on my toes!

A terrible mauvey frosty pink that makes my nailbeds look dirty! What is up with that? The color is pretty, but not for nails... ew. The color is much closer to the second picture (mauvey, NOT coral). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and I would certainly not buy again.

This is one of my favorite polishes and I wear it a lot in the summer. It's a light, pearly pink and it's great on the toes with sandals.

Pistol Packin Pink is my favorite nail polish of all time. I hope this is never discontinued. It's a beautiful, opaque, iridescent (not frosty or sparkly) pale pastel peached pink. Definately looks like it could be a color from the 60s in my opinion (and I don't mean that at all in a negative or "dated" way). It looks equally gorgeous on pale and tanned skin, and on long or short nails. I get compliments on this all the time. Love!

I chose this shade for my wedding this past January after an exhaustive search. It was just the right shade with my neutral coloring and it happened to go very well with my wedding ring which has some pink gold and pink diamond accents. As always a reliable product from OPI. It's not too pink at all and just the right amount of pearl. Nothing glittery here.

What a pretty, shimmery pale pink! A nice change from Essie Ballet Slippers on fingertips. Definitely needs two coats to avoid streaks, but I like the shade a lot. Not too pink, not glittery.

I've been wearing this shade off and on for several years. It's a muted milky pinky-beige, not terribly pink at all. Some other reviewers seemed to see rather wild colors in the bottle--mauve?! lavender?! I have to wonder if they are looking at the right color name here (or possibly have been sniffing the polish fumes?). At any rate, this is a good "office" color for pale skinned women. I teach at a university and wear it on my short nails so that I don't look like a dragon lady.

Worn on my toes as a rarely worn pale pedicure shade, this pale fleshy pink with barely noticeable shimmer made my skin look slightly more tan. On my hands, however, the shade was too chalky and "plasticy" looking for my liking.

This is a creamy, opaque baby pink. It's almost the perfect easter-egg candy pink but it's a little bit more muted than that. I like it both on my hands and feet. Pistol Packin' Pink is from OPI's '99 spring/summer Wild West collection.

Love this color! I have bought several bottles. It's subtle with just the right shade of pink with a tiny touch of lavender. It looks great on fingers and toes, has very subtle shimmer, and wears very well (no chipping). I find that OPI colors are inconsistent in their texture and durability -- but this is one of the best.

I love Pistol Packin' Pink! It is a natual pink color that is slightly on the side of flesh toned, or maybe even ballet slipper color. It is shimmery and opaque with two coats. It's a lovely color and I found the application to be nice.

This one looked pretty in the store lighting so I purchased it. It was terribly streaky on me during application. and after two thick coats - which i need to make it not look streaky -- it looked a lot chalky white-pink on my medium skin. I will be giving it to one of my girlfriends. not buying it again. it reminds me of opi's hopelessly in love but with some frost(after two coats of application).

Way too peach-y and too mauvy given the misleading name. Didn't like the tone at all. I like PINKS and with this name I thought it would turn out PINK-Y. Hated it - alot - and had it taken off as soon as it was put on. Takes alot for me to dislike a color - this I definitely didn't like.

I am not at all a nail-painting person, but I am OBSESSED with this color. It is the only nailpolish that I would probably ever repurchase. It looks great year-round, but especially in the summer - makes my feet look super tan. I also like how you can leave it really sheer, or pile it on for more color. It's not too crazy and not too subtle, it's just right!

This is a sheer, frosty cool-toned light baby pink with a pearly finish. Looks cute if you have a tan. Girly and young, definitely. Kinda runnier than normal, but that's the case with pale colors usually. So it takes a bit longer to dry and is prone to streakiness. Wear is average (maybe 1 week) and there's still a bit of chipping, etc. Would not repurchase as there are lower end brands with similar colors.

This is one of my favorite pedicure colors. It's a nice medium pink, without being overpowering, and it's definitely not too light (as Sweet Heart or Bubble Bath can be). Just a great all-around pink, it doesn't streak, and same quality as all other OPIs - - easy application, no chipping. A definite favorite.

Love the color, but even the polish from a new bottle of this color streaks and looks uneven. I applied it 3 different times and no matter how well it was applied it still looked bad.

This pink is perfect for spring or anytime you want to look girly. The only thing is it chips after a manicure within a few days. THis is the only OPi polish so far that I have gotten that has chipped really quickly? weird.
