This is a pretty coral that isn't too bright and in-your-face. It's more of a subtle, dusted color that is neutral. The formulation is a tad bit on the watery side but I've encountered much runnier formulas. Overall a very average polish that did not wow me but was just all right. It didn't quite stand out to me and was a forgettable color in my collection.

I can't fathom why my friend recommended this Barbie-like coral shade (and Chocolate Moose) for my fairly conservative job. Then again, I'm partial to bright, somewhat shocking, colorful non-red based colors (mint greens, royal and tiffany blues, purples, black, orange reds) or highly conservative non-red colors (grey, brown, and for work, pearly Sally Hansen pink). Maybe I've seen too many Desperate Housewife types or plastic nailed older women in candy reds and wish that OPI had more adventurous colors (why I have an ill-fated infatuation with Essie.) I preferred Chocolate Moose and want to find an OPI color similar to Essie Master Plan. Whether or not I like the color, this OPI coral shade is a fluid formula that goes on easily and rather well pigmented over the whole nail, but requires two coats to be opaque. It is a decent quality and a shiny color, good for a nail polish novice like me.

APPLICATION: As a nail polish novice maybe I'm using too low a bar, but I can say this: it applies a hell of a lot better than my Essies and even Chanels (looking at you, Emprise!). The OPI flat brush helps. So did (surprisingly) the thin formula--I needed 2-3 thin coats (depending on finger), but didn't mind because the thin coats dried much more quickly that expected. By the time I was done with one hand, the other was ready for another coat.COLOR: totally gorgeous. Chic not fluorescent--a true coral (which I think of as equal parts red, pink, and orange). Those golden sparkles are so sheer and amazing that I didn't even notice them until I stepped outside afterward. As a reviewer below mentioned, this is incredibly on-trend for something from 2011. I wore it with this season's J.Crew Colorblock Shift in the coral/melon colorway and realized the shades are a dead match. WEAR: Excellent. Maybe it's just the thin coats talking, but I'm on Day 3 (after heavy typing, showering, and dishes) and I barely have tip wear. (FYI, used Revlon Colorstay base + SH Dries Instantly top.) Will update if this changes--but right now I expect this to be the kind of polish that goes 8 days easily if it gets a touchup+topcoat in the middle. And I'm a perfectionist, so by "goes" I mean "good enough that you could shake Anna Wintour's hand without flinching." (Oh, and--I oil my nails/cuticles before I base coat; if instead you strip your nail oils with alcohol/polish remover I bet it will last even longer.)

Love it! There are so many bright/neon corals out there that it's nice to find a more subtle one every now and then. It's a salmon-y, apricot coral with almost-hidden shimmer (it does show up in brighter lighting). It's fun enough for a day at the beach, but toned down enough that it won't blind anybody (sometimes you want some shock & awe, sometimes you don't).I gave it 4 stars because the application was a little tricky. It took 3 coats for full coverage, and it was a little streaky and didn't want to self-level. Thinner helped the streaking and leveling problems, but I still needed 3 coats.

I got this shade in the Spider Man mini set, and I loved it. Its an amazing blue shade that looks awesome when the light hits it. I recommend people grab it before it gets discontinued.
