    This is my favorite color and my ultimate go-to! It’s a beautiful pop of color while still being a little subdued. Great for everyday!

    Love this shade!

    This is my go-to for a nude style that isn't beige or pinky. The undertones are more orangey, providing a more sophisticated full-punch appearance. It is great as a fall/autumn shade, but I do wear it year-round.

    I've been searching for this color

    5 years ago
    I used to be addicted to a competitor's rosy terracotta polish color, but that color was discontinued a few years ago. Since then, I've been searching for the equivalent. I've tried multiple products from multiple companies, but they were all too brown, or too orange, or too pale, or too this or that. Recently I stumbled across Essie's Rocky Rose, and is just about perfect. Please don't discontinue this one!

    Great polish

    I love Essie nail polish, pretty much all I use. The color was nice, probably not so much for my tan/olive skin tone. But Essie products are always good quality.
