Brick red/orange

a year ago
I was gifted this color. It is nice but I prefer something a little brighter and pinker. It does suit my skin tone well and the formula is very self leveling and full coverage with 2 coats.

hey there alyssathoughts, thank you for sharing your pic and experience with the color 'yes, I canyon'. If this muted coral is not as bright or pink as you crave, try the juicy persimmon coral nail color, 'cute as a button'. https://www.essie.com/nail-polish/enamel/corals/cute-as-a-button

Perfect Pumpkin-y Orange!

I bought this to wear for a halloween theme, as it reminded me of the bold, warm color of the season. It is the absolute perfect orange both for the fall and year-round!
