GORGEOUS!!! Essie's Canyon Coral is a deeper shade of coral, almost red actually. But it's also bright and pinky-orange at the same time. A very flattering shade, it looks AMAZING on the nail and I love it!Great formula too. Opaque in two coats and no problems with application or wear.I'd definitely buy this one again. LOVE!

A very nice coral for those who like their corals to have more pink than orange tones. I'm fair skinned and don't get very tanned during the summer, so I prefer this; orange's just too harsh and foreign on me.Lasts very well, both on feet and hands, doesn't loose its shine and despite the not very wide brush, the texture is thick enough to apply with ease. I don't use it much I'm afraid, as I prefer brighter hues and this one seems washed out compared to the vibrant red and fuchsia and purple ones I usually use, but it's good for what it is.

I loveeee coral....this color looks like a PERFECT coral (perfect mixture of pink and & orange) but when I put it on my nails it looked like a dusty muted dark pink :/ but when my sister tried it the coral color was perfect on her!!! My sis has a darker complexion than me so complexion does play a part in how this nail color looks...which sucks!

I wouldn't classify Carousel Coral as a coral: It has almost no detectable red or orange tones. Instead, it's more of a brown based pink. Super duper flattering, I could see this working on every skin tone. (I'm light/medium neutral leaning warm and this looks fab on me!)...Quality is typical essie. Once you get use to the brush, the application is pretty great!

I really love the colour of this polish, (I uploaded the second picture for review purposes). The Essie brushes always dissatisfy me because they are small, and lead to major streaking. Thankfully it only takes two coats of this polish to get the exact same colour in the bottle. The colour is a fresh bright pink that looks great on all skin tones. It looks bright and clean on my pale hands but also looked wonderful on my tanned sister, and my darker friends. This is a definite colour for spring that I will be repurchasing.
