This color is pretty, but not one of my favs. It's kind of a heathered lavender taupe with the glassy finish that I've come to expect from Essie. It looks fab on short nails. Like many of Essie's colors, all the tones give it a sort of... color morphing quality, giving to shades of lavender (in good lighting, my fav), to gray, to even a sort of muddiness in darker lighting. I feel like its a good shade for autumn or winter, but I'm not so sure that I was crazy enough about it that I would choose it over some of my other neutral shades.
One thing to note is that the formula for Merino Cool is a tad on the thin side. I probably could've settled for 2 coats, but why stettle for less? In order to achieve the milky, opaque look I was going for I needed 3. With this being said, it really struggled to set on my nails, even with "Good to Go" Essie's fast drying topcoat.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this shade is going to be one I prefer on my toes. It may be just right for classing up my tootsies for yoga. :)
