this review title is: it had pretty good staying power which was surprising because i have and the content is: i did not use a basecoat with this it had pretty good staying power which was surprising because i have other essie colors and they have been hit or miss in terms of not chipping and peeling i have darker skin i am around gabrielle unions skin tone and to outside observers it appears to be metallic orange ish and not the pinkish tone the photo seems besides that it is basic nail polish how it appears depends on your skin tone and probably how many coats you use i use two i am not in love with the color so i would not buy this on my own but essie does make some other nice shades.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 1 people think this review is helpful.
