This is nice -one of Opi's better consistencies, and an understated shade that works...well enough, for me. But, overall, kind of underwhelming. It seemed to take ages to completely cure -24h later it was still easy to dent (I had yet to apply a top coat. For some reason, it took three coats, and not the two most have mentioned here, for opacity. I'm fair -always the lightest or second lightest foundation shade -and it doesn't look so much neutral/nude on me as it does a dark taupe. Other cool-toned pale sorts might feel like this is the polish equivalent of ye olde "suntan" pantyhose -too dark and just not quite right...L'Oreal's "Doutzen's Nude" has a better formula, and is very, very similar -switched next to each other on white plastic it was hard to see a difference (except the L'Oreal went down in one smooth streak and the OPI pooled off to one side -I only use two coats of the L'Oreal, which is silly-easy to apply). On the nails, "Doutzen's Nude" is slightly lighter, and more mauve, less brown, than "Tickle My France-y." I tend to either wear stuff like rainbow-hued multicoloured nails OR "ladylike" conservative shades with little in between, so had high hopes for this as a new favourite for the "conservative" box o' polish. No dice; will keep buying the L'Oreal. On the plus side: apart from it being prone to dents and taking too long to fully dry, the stuff lasts. After four days, there's only a *tiny* chip on an index finger, so small that I really had to hunt for it. (Two coats Essie "Millionails" underneath, gel-type topcoat, unfortunately unbranded, widely sold in Canadian Dollaramas in a black bottle with three other mini bottles of polish -give the polishes to a little girl if you don't like the colours or whatever, and just buy the set for the amazing top coat!)
