Cocktail Bling is a classic Essie shade. It is a very pretty pale grey with blue tones cool and icy. It has a creme finish and is opaque in two coats, drying quickly to a shiny finish. It has an excellent formula, applying very easily with no streaks or patches. Only a light hand and thin coats are needed with this polish. This colour is very classic and pretty, I believe it would suit all skin tones, particularly those with cool skin tones. It is suitable for conservative environments. It lasted on my nails for 4 days, less than the 5 days I expect from Essies, however I was heavy on my hands while I was wearing this and believe that on a normal week it would have lasted the 5 days very well. I can happily recommend this Essie cult favourite.
