essie Make-up Nagellak Brown & Black Nr.77 Chinchilly

This is a grayish color with a hint of purple. Pretty and goes on smooth. A tad bit dull when dry but a unique color

This is a conservative easy grey purple milky neutral color! My opinion is a dupe for Sally Hansen Commander in Chic. Both wear nicely and last a great length. 2 coats is perfect! Then top coat of Sally's Kwik. Or Essie's fast dry top coat!

lavendar mid-putty grey Pros: - neutral - for conservative work environment - elegant - better for NC20 and lighter - non-streaky after two coats - small bottle for easy storage; brush is small enough for small nails but wide enough for non-streaky application Cons: - too muddy and darkening on my NC25-30 yellow skintone

I love the color, this is my absolute favorite for the the transition into fall. However, even with a base coat, 3 applications of polish (it is a bit thin and streaky) and a topcoat, it still chipped quickly, I would expect more from a $7+ bottle of polish. I will definitely shop for a dupe and try another brand, hopefully Revlon has a copycat color as over the last 30 years of doing my own nails, Revlon is still my favorite polish for color saturation, wearability, and price point (if on sale). Anyone know of a tried and true dupe?

I can't believe i haven't reviewed this yet. It is one of the few bottles of nail polish that I finished totally and went back for another bottle. It is one of my favorite colors against my medium olive skin. It's somewhere in the greige family but with a hint of mocha. I have to be so careful with those colors as they can wash me out but this one really enhances my complexion. In the summer, neutral manicure shades like pale pink, nude and whitish can look a little more contrasty on me. This has the same sort of neutrality and sophistication to it, but is much more flattering on me. I have not found any dupes for this and if they ever discontinue it, I'm buying all the bottles I can find. It is one of my top 3 favorite colors of all time.
