HOLY GRAIL color. One of Essie's most beautiful. I hope this stays in the line. So many of the shades seem to be limited edition. Essie Cute As a Button has been my go-to coral for three years and seems to be a regular, easy to find. For a good rose, I was fond of Your Hut or Mine, which must have been a limited edition color. Stones N Roses is their prettiest pink to date, a bit rose, a bit coral, a bit peach, a well-balanced shade that is not too loud, but reminiscent of bright Spring blooms. I like the texture, opaque with a lot of pigment rather than the bridal sheers. Stones N Roses goes on easily and two coats really lock in the color. I was fond of Essie Love Every Minute but it's not thick enough (not really sheer but a bit too thin). Because of the balance of tones in Stones N Roses, it is extremely wearable. I took my own bottle in to the manicurist because they didn't have this color and she loved it, too. She ordered a bottle for the shop. Stones N Roses looks right with everything. It's the perfect balance of pink, peach, and coral. It's delicate, it's Spring-y, it's warm, it's blushing. Goes on creamy and doesn't even need a top coat for shine. I just top it off to protect it from chipping. Gorgeous.
