This is by all accounts a very pretty color. It's a medium-salmon creme which dries to a high-shine finish, especially with a good topcoat. It looks professional and pulled-together, or fun and...

This is one of my favorite nail polishes. It is a neutral pink-mauve color. The color goes with everything. Coverage is good, although I might get a slight streaking at times. I use two coats. It...

I like this polish KINDA, but I can't get around that it just seems like something my mom would've worn in the 80's (no offense, Mom!). And I am now a middle-aged woman myself, but it still just...

This is a really nice subdued but subtly sexy pink. I find it reads a touch nude in some lights, a touch mauve in others, but it always reads pink. There's something about this shade that feels...

Another Essie polish that I enjoy. This and lady like are my go to "nude" colors. I do find I need 3 coats to get a solid even look on my nails but that seems to be the norm for all the Essie...

Although this color looks like a gorgeous light rose in the bottle, against my pale skin it comes across with an orange tint. The quality is fine - shiny, smooth, and overall typical Essie - but...

My favourite Essie shade from the dozen I've tried, and I'm usually a red nail polish girl (I do love a few of the Essie reds) Incredibly flattering on my lighter olive skin, it's an update on a...

One of my favourite My Nails But Better Shades. A pale, neutral mauve cream, with good gloss. I can use one coat for a good coverage. I am NW 25

Essie is known to be a hit-or-miss brand, so I was a bit cautious about spending $8 on nail polish when there was a similar color from a lesser-hyped brand for only $4. I had a gift card, so I...

I like Essie polishes usually, but my brand new bottle was streaky resulting in chips the very first day. The color is nice, a very rosy shade that leans toward a neutral.

This is the perfect nude that compliments my skin tone amazingly! It's more of a pink / peach nude and works brilliantly for any season and any place. This colour is perfect for my rather...

Gonna need a backup of this. A lovely neutral shade, looks great on toes and tips, only minimal tip wear after several days, including housework, trips to the gym, swimming, etc. A good pick if you...

Absolutely gorgeous color with lots of shine, but I'm not super impressed by its staying power. This is the only bottle of Essie nail polish I own, and for the price ($8.50 at CVS) I have a...

Essie is THE best nail polish brand, but this color is not very unique, it is extremely similar to Dress me Up by CG.

Nail polish snob here. I've been using this shade for years. I love how Essie glides on, and staying power is good. I just don't think I have the skin tone for it. For me, it blends right in...

Picked up this Essie "Eternal Optimist" color today and I just love it! It's the perfect nude and neutral color! I like that it's more of a peachy/pink nude than a brown one. I think that one of...
