Overview
Home manicurists get a salon-style lacquer from essie in a cream finish with a glossy shine. A wide easy glide brush spreads color evenly across each nail, and the routine calls for base coat, two color coats, then top coat.
An even, glossy cream finish from a brush that suits every nail size is why people reach for essie. The listing describes the color as terracotta orange while the name suggests a rose tone, so the exact shade is uncertain.
Who it's for
Regular at-home manicures and people who like a classic cream lacquer are the audience. Those who want a gel-like finish without a top coat, or a confirmed shade, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Easy glide brush reduces streaks
- Glossy cream finish
- Vegan, no animal derived ingredients
- Not tested on animals
- Shade description conflicts with the name
- Needs base and top coat for full routine
- Bottle size not listed
Performance notes
Coverage depends on thin, even coats, and the wide brush lays down a stripe that covers each nail in a few strokes. Two coats build the full color, while base and top coats affect how long it lasts. Dry time between coats decides smoothness.
