Essie Wild Nude 0.5 oz #1005

Essie describes this polish color as "light tan with a wash of white." As other reviewers mentioned, it has strong lavender undertones on the nail even though it looks more tan in the bottle. The subtle lavender doesn't suit my NC20/25 skin tone at all, although true lavender shades do. Neutral colors like Essie's Sand Tropez or Butter London's Yummy Mummy look far better on my yellow-toned skin. If OPI's My Very First Knockwurst looks like a band-aid on you as it does on me, you probably won't like this shade either. I think the color would look better on someone with either cool-toned or darker skin. The formula applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. If you're interested in trying Essie's Wild Nudes collection and you have warm-toned pale skin, I'd suggest trying Without a Stitch, a cool-toned grey. This shade does pull lavender but is surprisingly gorgeous on me. +3 stars for a great formula; -2 stars for an inaccurate shade description that suggests a universally flattering neutral shade

I LOVE this color! It is a bit on the lavender side, but two coats and it's the perfect shade. I have tan skin with blue undertones so this looks nice and light on me. Worth trying out!

I ordered this polish by mail, expecting Wild Nude to be a neutral, beige shade. Instead, it's lavender. The brush is thin, so even application can be difficult. Two coats of this light shade gives me full coverage. I used a base coat and a top coat and my manicure lasted five days.

Wow, is this ever a pretty polish!! I agree that it doesn't look bottle color when dried (I used three coats), but it is such a pretty berry pink anyway! I love the holographic glitter in it...it has a generous quantity of micro holo glitter, and a lesser amount of larger holo glitter...it's a striking combination. I know that this isn't a unique or trendy color, but I must say, it is very, very flattering to my skin tone, and I really appreciate that! I have experimented with many greiges, greens, blues, blacks and purples, and though they look modern and trendy, they oftentimes clash with my skin tone, instead of enhancing it. This shade is just pure pretty, on the other hand. I love it!!

Raspberry maroon red with glitter. This polish is sheerer than i thought, so i do 3 coats, and it looks GREAT!!!!! It gives perfect coverage at coat #2 but i did the 3rd coat just in case cus it looked a little thin. The glitters look more sparkly in the bottle. It still shows up on the nail but not as much as how it looks in the bottle. Formula is sheer so that the glitters will show up more, so i can't complain. It was a great purchase, looks good on toes and fingers.
