Essie Counture 350 Gala-Vanting

This polish gives me the most professional looking results I've ever achieved at home. Goes on so smooth, is more forgiving than my usual lacquers and I love the shape of the brush. Makes it easy to get close to the cuticle without actually painting the cuticle and making a sloppy mani. I also love this color, in particular. It is definitely a purple with some mocha mixed in, so it is a muted purple. I would not call this a nude for any skin tone. It's just what I was looking for, though. I'll be buying more polishes from this line, for sure.

This is the best neutral nude, not too white and not too pink, just perfect. I used to use OPI Bubble Bath until they tweaked that colour and made it more pink which was not a good move. I finally found the perfect neutral nude colour in this and I use it every week. I really hope Essie make this colour in the professional salon gel version.
