This is a perfect nude for me with two coats with some VNL. Three coats is a bit stark and white, so I think I will just sponge a gradient onto the tips of my nails to even out the color to eliminate the VNL. I was trying to decide between this and Prelude to a Kiss and the SA at Sally's let me swatch them over tape. First Kiss is peachier, Prelude to a Kiss is more pinky / mauve.

I just purchased this shade recently in the newer bottle (black cap). It was between this as Prelude to a Kiss but I got this one because in the store it looked a little 'cleaner' (Prelude looked a teensy bit dustier?). I wonder if the shade has varied over the years because other reviews mention it as a pale pink cream but mine is definitely a pale sheerish peach that works really nicely with my skintone. I applied 2 coats and maybe could have done 3 but 2 was fine. It's almost a jelly cream in that it almost looks squishy and I can still slightly see my nail BUT it's ok because I find the Orly formula is easy to apply smoothly and/or it levels itself out really well. They also seem to dry pretty fast. I top it with Beauty Secrets Nail Hardener and Out the Door. I just really love how fresh and clean it looks. For reference, mine looks like the swatch on PolishAholic's blog and not like the one posted here.

I brought this last year looking for a baby pastel pink. I like the colour, worked against my medium skin-tone and works well as a pinky base for french manicures. What I didn't like was how sheer the application was at first. I applied two coats, but still could see the white tips of my nails showing through underneath. A little disappointed about that. It didn't streak which is a bonus, and dried fairly fast. Might show it's true colour with a undercoat? Probably won't buy again as I know a billion other polishes similar to this shade.

I was a bit hesitant to buy this, but I gave it a try. I love Orly polishes b/c they're cheap and they do the job. This color is a bit too milky pink for my liking though. I should've stuck with my normal brights!

I am a major lover of those white-pink shades of polish, like Essie Ballet Slippers or OPI Sweetheart, but fancied something a little pink-er, so decided to try First Kiss. It is definitely a lot more pink than I usually go for, but in a nice, soft kind of way. It gives my nails a nice blushed-pink look, and on me it has a very slight peachy tinge to it.I find First Kiss to be semi-sheer on me. I have medium-long nails and can definitely see the whites of my tips through this polish after 2 coats. I would imagine the colour would head towards opaque after 3 coats, but I hate using more than 2 as I feel my polish looks too thick and doesn't last as well. I am really impressed with the lasting power of Orly (this is the second of their polishes I have tried) and find it lasts for 4 days without looking tired and in need of changing. I found First Kiss to apply smoothly and non-streakily. I also love the Orly rubberized cap.Overall I like this polish, but I'm not sure whether I would re-purchase. I prefer my white-pink shades but this is nice for a change. I will however, be purchasing more Orly colours.
