I have a fair few old OPI colours that are paler, but they are all really sheer, still showing nail line with 4 coats, so I never really use those. This one is really lovely. It is a rich nude shade, sort of a taupe with a pinky-lilac hue to it. The formula was nice, smooth without being too thin. It was passable in two coats but there was still a hint of nail line visible. It took three coats to get the opaque look you see in the picture. I am impressed with this shade, it is very sophisticated. I can see I will wear this one a lot. I may konad over this one later.....pics will follow after the konad catch-up is complete.

I know, I love it! I keep looking at my hands, such a nice shade. Have done a Konad over the top now too, couldn't resist, will post that in a few days once I've posted my other konads :O)
This looks like a good "Mannequin Hands" color! It's a very pretty shade! ALU is looking for viewers to send their choice of color to her and she'll post it on her blog! Here is her original post.

according to the pics they could be alike, but essence is a one coater:)
they do look similar, but this one has a definite pink/lilac tinge to it. Your one looks more natural than this one does. So hard to tell in photos isn't it, my lighting is not great......scrangie has a good swatch of it here...
