essie geranium

i picked this color up over the summer. it was beautiful when it was 100degrees out and it's gorgeous at 50degrees.

it was voted the best coral of 2009 by instyle (whatever, right?!) but it's much more of a tomato red then a coral on my pale skin. the quote was that it gave the illusion of a tan...yeah not so much on me.
it's thin but not quite a jelly finish to me...the way that only essie seems to have mastered... thin but vibrant. it would need 3 coats to be completely opaque...at 2 i still have some VNL.
