Essie is great polish and Beyond has great selection and fast shipping

did not like this color

In the bottle, this looks like a muted pink/ivory color with iridescent reflects but on my nails it almost looks like a dull brown color and the reflects aren't visible at all. I loved the first Essie polish I purchased (trombone) but I'm not thrilled by this one. No wonder it was on the $5 and under table at Ulta!

I was surprised the way this color turned once applied. In the bottle BRB looks like a neutral w/ that shimmer that I find really unique to Essie (it goes from violet to red to pink to gold). I thought for sure this color would either go grey on me, like so many other nude colors, or clash w/ my skin bcuz of the violet shimmer. But it look like a peachy-pink nude color (the shimmer is almost undetectable, v. pretty against my olive skin. This isn't exactly unique tho I have a lot of sheer neutral colors that fall w/in this range. And Essie's sheers can go on so streaky that I had to be really careful w/ the application. A similar color w/ better application is OPI Malaysian Mist or Hopelessly in Love. Wouldn't buy again but still a nice color worth checking out.

Be Right Bag looks better applied on the nails than it does in the bottle. The bottle color makes it look like a beigey tan nude with pink shimmer but applied on the nails, the color is actually more pinky beige nude. Like a lot of Essie polishes, the shimmer doesn't show up on the nails but gives the base color a shiny cast. Although it's a nude it's not exactly a band aid color unless perhaps for the very very cool toned pale skintones. I think this color looks great on warm, olive, or deeper skintones, giving them that contrast. I don't know why this was released as part of fall...it's perfect for spring and summer IMO, especially since the modish nude nails look is being billed in all the magazines for this season. Be Right Bag looks best with 3 coats to get that opaque shiny look, 2 coats are good for a more understated look. I'm pleasantly surprised with this color and can see myself reaching for this more than once. For reference I'm Chanel Beige, Stila 30 watts, and GA LSF 5.5.Update 3/28/07: Now that it's sunny I see the pinkish bronze shimmer! It flashes in the sunlight, like an opal :)
