It's a very grown up colour. So much so that I've been peering at my fingertips a lot whilst wearing it - I'm much used to brights and glitter, so this level of sophistication is not something I'm used to! I can imagine this would be a fantastic wedding colour, and is also appropriate for interviews or for work.
This is my first Essie; the formula is smooth, of medium thickness, and very easy to apply. The polish is spreadable and two coats provided a very even finish. Wear is pretty decent - two days later and I can't really see any tipwear, even if I look closely. That said this is a pale and fairly natural colour, and shades like these disguise tipwear very well. I will definitely be trying out more Essie polishes.
Also, mental note - keep cuticle oil on desk and stop nibbling fingers when concentrating.
If you'd like to grab a bit of grown up sophistication for yourself, you can find this polish at BeautyBay.com for the reasonable price of £7.50 for 15ml, which is a nice mid-end price - cheaper than OPI, but better quality than cheaper high street brands.
Would you wear this colour? Is the French manicure look passe or is it still a classic?
Lovely! I have one like this (just Rimmel) and I'm wearing it now. I only wear this or a French manicure when my nails are in really good condition. I think a good French manicure (thin tips and cuticles well groomed) is a classic. It's the long and/or fake ones that look awful. And French on the toes is supposed to be a no-no. Not sure why, but I read it somewhere and have stuck to it.
