Gorgeous color. Soft but bold, neutral but versatile. It's a cool-toned grey-brown with purple undertones, and on my extremely pale hands, it's dark enough to be bold and noticeable without being too much. It is perfect for fall and winter, but I'm not too much of a stickler for coordinating shades and seasons myself.Drying time is good, as with most other Essie polishes, and the brush makes application smooth and easy. I love, love, love this color.
