Truly "Cute as a Button"!
5 years ago
I exchanged for this color on a whim when my sister (a die-hard Essie fan) gave me a color she had already given me before. ;) If you're on this site, you probably already love Essie products. Great shine, great application, great wear. So, I'll focus on this color. I find that it does tend to chip a bit, but I always have that problem (I'm a very active SAHM with soft nails — nothing sticks). The color is awesome though!!! It really is a go-to favorite! I tend towards classics like a milky pink, French manicure, or lipstick red, but this is a fun, summery shade of something between coral and bright pink that I frequently receive compliments on. It's fun without being garish, and very flattering (I'm light-medium skin-toned for reference). LOVE!!! I'll buy it again as soon as my current bottle runs out, and I'd buy it in gel too, if that was an option!

The perfect summer shade!
7 years ago
My friend got this shade for me and another friend of ours and we all absolutely love it. It is bright and lively and cute, as the name suggests. It is feminine without looking too young and childish. Perfect for summer and looks awesome with a tan, as well as on toes.

One of My All-Time Favs
8 years ago
The other pictures of the color, not sure about those ... but the last picture with the girl's hand holding the bottle, I would say that very much looks like the color. I hope they never stop making it! Please, Essie, keep making it, there is not another one out there like this one.

5-Star Color, 1-Star formula
8 years ago
This is a gorgeous color, but I was seriously disappointed in the streaky application. This was the first Essie polish I’ve purchased, and I’m sorry to say it will be the last. I’ll be sticking with my Zoya polishes.

Cute Color Streaky Formula
9 years ago
I was in the market for a coral shade for Summer, and I was down to either buying this or a Sally Hansen product. I ended up going got this one because I liked the slight red undertone to this color. However, now that I've used this color I wished I had gone with Sally Hansen. The reason? This nail polish is streaky! Even though the polish is pigmented, I had to put 3 coats of polish on in order to cover up streaky bald spots. For the price of Essie I shouldn't have to put up with that in order to paint on a cream polish. I love Essie's colors, but I have never found a cream polish from their regular line that I have liked.
