Love this shade!
a year ago
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
4 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!

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.

nice finish

Has a nice finish......I am curious about the chemicals in nail polish. Do you have a special line for those of us with allergies? I am allergic to HEMA....also have flare ups of Eczema so I'm careful

Great polish

I received a sample of the shade Rocky Rose. The polish was fantastic but the shade just wasn't a good one for me. Rocky Rose was easy to apply, dried quickly, stayed chip-free for over a week!

Perfect Fall Color!

I bought this the other day at Ulta and it is the perfect fall color! It applies smoothly and evenly and has a great applicator. It’s like a orange and brown mixed together and it’s perfect. My favorite color and definitely recommend!
