Nail of the Week: Essie Penny Talk

under artificial light with flash

For this week's nails I am wearing Essie Penny Talk. This shade is included in Essie's Mirror Metallics that came out a few months back but is still available at some Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart. Penny Talk is a gorgeous bronze-y, rose-gold metallic shade. The application can be quite difficult as the formula is somewhat inconsistent and streaky. Also, the brush strokes are visible on the nails which is common with metallic polishes but a gorgeous shade nonetheless.

What do you have on your nails for this week?

  3. So so beautiful! Definitely going on my shopping list to complete my metallic collection. It looks like Orly's Rage but darker <3

  7. This looks really good under flash, but not so much under the natural light...it's just a gorgeous colour though. It would match my rose gold Tissot watch!

    1. Yes, its picture under natural light is not the most flattering, it's hard to get good pictures now because of the gloomy weather we've been having. Have you tried this shade?

      Delete
    2. I haven't tried it yet...should I get it? Do you think it's worth having in my collection? I don't think I own a shade quite like this so maybe?

    3. This polish is worth it in my collection as this is the only rose gold I have. I heard Orly's Rage, which is a similar shade, has a better formula but it's hard to find in my area. If you are into rose gold, then I'd def recommend this polish :)
