Essie Watermelon is a great polish. It is a pinky-red colour, slightly more red than watermelon flesh. It is quite bright, but very wearable. The formula is great, it is medium consistency and is not too thick. It is completely opaque in two coats, though you could get away with one in emergencies! The colour is great for Summer, though wearable all year round. It also dries very quickly. It is chip resistant and I did not suffer from tip wear, even though I type a lot. This is a classic Essie colour and should be a staple for every girl. A safe, reliable colour.
