Chinchilly (love the name), is what i would affectionately call a 'griege'. It's more grey than beige, but has a definite beige undertone to it. I normally go for brighter nails or something really dark, so it was nice to buy a colour that I definitely don't already have in my ever growing collection.
Like other Essie polishes I've tried, it goes on easily, and is opaque in two coats. It also dries quickly, which is a must for me. This one also has the wider diffusion brush, which I found so much easier to use than the skinny one in my 'Jamaica me crazy'.
I am terrible for not applying a topcoat, so I find that Essie polishes only lasts a couple of days without getting any chips, but I change nail colour so often, it doesn't really matter.
Have you tried Chinchilly? What's your favourite Essie colour?
