Beautiful Neutral Brown

3 years ago
First off, thanks to all the Essie fans who post pics to help me with the colors since I've found the provided ones sometimes don't look the same but usually the reviewers' ones do! So, here's mine. It's super flattering for fair-medium skin tones like mine as I'm sure it is on many others.
Q: goes great with this shade

My favorite color of ALL TIME!

3 years ago
I absolutely ADORE this shade. It is a true neutral and is not overly warm, which makes it look awesome against my light/cool skin tone, although I think it would look great on any skin tone. It’s not too light, not too dark, and goes with everything. I get lots of compliments on this color, too! Very modern looking.
