Wow, I'm amazed at how easy this applies, one of the few non-streaky whites! The color is a soft, milky sheer, very subtle and understated. I suspect with careful application, 1 or 2 coats will be more than enough. But I was in a hurry, and applied 3 coats for complete opacity. Definitely recommend this over a lot of the Essie PITA whites.

Beautiful milky sheer color. One coat will completely even out your nail bed and make your nails look polished and pretty. It wears well and has a super shiny gel-like finish, I wish it was slightly more pink, but I love it anyway for just a basic everyday look. I would rebuy!

Yikes. Looks like a gorgeous sheer pink shimmer in the bottle. One coat is a drippy, thick mess, Two coats is a frosty nightmare that made my hands look dirty. It comes out a super light pink with a lot of frost and shimmer, still sheer at two coats but it looks streaky and unkempt. The price was great (under 3 bucks online) but I couldn't stand the way this made my hands look. I won't be repurchasing this one.

Unstreaky, milky creme sheer. It's very shiny and applies smoothly and easily. I love this with Essie Moonstruck tips as a french makes my nails look so clean and well-kept. I came about this from the NB when looking for a substitute for OPI Bubble Bath (the new version is pinker and NOT what I wanted). And I actually like Hope Chest better than my older BB! I use this on my mother's nails when she wants a clean look, and she loves this as well.

I picked this up as a recommendation from the Nail Board everything about it is perfect. Perfect combination of sheer pink and cream, plus a smooth streak-free formula. When I need to wear something classy, polished, professional and simple, this is the polish I reach for. Love it!
