Watered down and thin.

7 years ago

I have several different colors from Eddie but this specific one was very thin, streaky, and chipped hours after applying. It was so thin. It was like I was painting in water color. I went back to Walmart where I bought it and every bottle in thiscolor were the same way. I even went as far as going to target only to find the same problem. This color has something wrong with it.

Hi Jayce1234! We are so sorry to hear that the recent purchase of our peach side babe was very thin in texture. This is not the result we want our consumers to have and we will be sure to pass along your feedback to improve this process in the future! We hope you also try our tart deco for a dreamy coral shade with an artistic burst of color! You can find the shade here: http://tinyurl.com/y2e97qxn We hope this works better for you!

Peach Pits

8 years ago

Just purchased Peach Side Babe yesterday. Polish seems thin and when applied to nails it was very streaky. Applied three coats and color is a bright orangy pink, almost neon. Is it possible that the bottle was mislabeled? After one day the polish was chipped off the tips of six fingers. Horrible.

Beautiful spring/summer polish

8 years ago

The weather is starting to get sunny and warm in Toronto so I decided to start lightening up my nail polish. I absolutely love the polish colour “peach side babe” during the spring and summer months but with that said I hate how difficult it is to apply. It is sticky and I have to apply many coats before streaks are no longer seen.

A bit disappointed

10 years ago

I bought Peach Side Babe after eying it for months. It looks so light, peachy and fun. I was sooo excited to get it in the mail but I was unfortunately a bit let down by it in real life. It is more orange-y than I expected and to me, looked almost identical to Tart Deco when on my nails. The image online is definitely more pink-y than it is in real life, or at least the bottle I got. Perhaps it was an off formula (I am reminded of Essie's two different colors Mint Candy Apple) but I am still a bit sad I didn't get the color posted. It is still a great color for what it is, and I love Essie's formula but it wasn't what I expected.

finally real peach

I've been waiting for an Essie colour in a peach or salmon tone which isn't too orange for aaaages! THIS IS IT! It's neither too pink nor too orange and just great for a lightly tanned summer skin! I love it.
