Essie Penny Talk
Essie Penny Talk is one of nail polishes from the Mirror Metallic collection that Essie released in Summer 2012. The color you see in the bottle has nothing to do with the actual color; in the bottle it looks gold and on the nails it is a beautiful rose gold shade. I was looking for such color for a very long time to be honest.
The color is, like I said, rose gold with metallic finish which almost looks like foil depending on the lighting. The formulation is kinda tricky to work with. I find that if you want to go over the area you just painted before it drys you most likely gonna create bald spots but because the nail polish is opaque, with careful application, you might get away with just 1 coat ( for the swatches I used 2 coats). It is slightly streaky but due to it's finish you most likely won't be able to tell it. The wear time is good and I actually prefer wearing it without top coat. Something that I wanted to mention is that this nail polish stained my nails even though I was wearing base coat but I was able to remove it by slightly buffing my nails with a buffer.
Overall I really like the color and although it's a bit hard to work with I will continue using it just because it's a really pretty rose gold nail polish that I always wanted. On side note, if you have ridges on your nails I would definitely suggest you to use a ridge filler base coat because I feel like this formulation will makes them more obvious.
