If you had to pick one sheer/semi-sheer/light grey which could be purchased for under $6 online (under $10 in a brick-and-mortar store) what would you go for? I keep waffling between Essie’s Great Expectations and OPI Moon Over Mombai, but there may be something I’m missing!

(I’ve had trouble with biting my nails for YEARS and I finally seem to have mostly stopped, so I’m trying to reward myself by building up a bit of a collection of polish, and I really like the subtle-modern effect of the light greys- but as a college student I can’t afford to buy them all, even at online prices.)

I have to say thank you for this review. I bought the entire spring 2008 set, and I have Hard to Get on my hands right now and they look like Barbie hands. Heh. I’m going to pick another color soon.

I just bought Secret Affair & Body Language based on your swatches. I’m a little disappointed with Body Language, I agree with the others that it applies more opaque than in the picture. It does have a little of that “white-out” look on the fingers. I also thought it was a little streaky and hard to apply.

Can you say L-O-V-E?? I just got the entire collection and let me tell you, ALL of the colors are gorgeous on their own! I am not a light colored wearing girl but these are so fab. Muah….

update people: I bought Secret Affair and I love it. (i.e., it doesn’t look like white out on my finger tips)

On me, Body language is MUCH more gray and opaque than in this picture. It looks kinda funky.

An update: I really wanted to love these colors – but the shades ended up off on me – made my skin look sort of sickly. Oh well! Maybe I’ll do better with the next round of new releases.

I laid my blacky-blues to rest last week. No one notices the sheer pinky pales, but maybe one of these new grays will be different enough to catch a few looks…

Even though I am loving my vampies and navy’s right now, I know in the summer I want pretty sheers, both b/c of the weather and work and I knew Essie would not fail me with this collection. I already fell in love with Body Language after seeing it on MUA but thanks to your swatch I am also getting Hard to Get since it seems like the perfect pink I’m always searching for. Thanks hun!!

Normally, I’m not a sheers girl, but Secret Affair is intriguing since it has more than one “look”. Essie usually doesn’t last on my nails though, so maybe I’ll give it trial run by getting a mani instead of just buying it.
