essie Rosatöne Neglelak 13.5 ml Nr. 389 - Peak Show

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a lot of reviews for this so far. Since the old formula for my beloved Fiji has been discontinued, this has become my go-to for a natural, put-together look. Most neutrals look washed out on me, but this pastel whitish-pinkish neutral just makes it perfect for work. As the previous reviewer noted, my manicurist used 2 coats for this which was fine. But it does tend to get streaky with one coat.

Essie Peak Show is a powdery white pink from their Winter 2015 Collection. It's very similar to Essie Fiji. Although I'm not a fan of pinks, I do love a pretty pastel shade so this color is very pleasing to my eyes. It's a pink that's girly and cute but with an edge. The formula however is less than ideal. As with most white based colors, this polish is very streaky and patchy, I need at least 3 coats, sometimes even 4 or 5, the ridges on my nails are accentuated, and it just won't look 100% smooth and even on my nails. I love this milky pink color, just wish it was easier to work with.
