This pink-nude is a little blah. It's a decent neutral, but a bit too peachy. Three coats are needed to level any streakiness. It isn't too troublesome to apply though. You'll need to use thick coats for smooth application, so don't be afraid to load up that brush! Luckily, it dries hard and quick, and it does not bubble as it dries like other thick polishes might. Essie polishes tend to have thin formulas. This is one of the thickest Essie polishes I have used, but it was easy enough to apply. I was hoping for that sexy "mannequin hands" look, and generally prefer a slight pink undertone to go with my cool, pale skin. I thought this would be The One (especially because it was sold out at the three nearest drugstores!), but it's too warm and peachy for my taste. Looking at the main photo someone posted above, I can see how warm it really is, which frankly I wasn't expecting. It will come in handy as a neutral for the time being, but the hunt continues for a cooler pink nude.
