Essie Body Language is as unique as they come if you’re after something totally different to adorn your nails with this winter. It’s not a typical nude polish, a creme finish, it’s an off white/beige with a creamy hint of grey – which actually looks pale lavender/grey under certain lights but a veeeery pale grey with a splash of cream under others! Actually it kinda reminds me of clay.
Today, I had no less than four comments all enquiring what I was sporting on my nails. I love the clean, chic sharp look it gives to my nails but I can appreciate that many may and will find this a difficult shade to pull off. At first glance it has a tendency to mirror Tippex!
Two coats generally gives it an opaque finish, although this sometimes looks treaky and so a third may be needed. It goes on smoothly to begin with, but I sometimes experience it dragging at the tips. Such a sharp shade, requires precise application as messy mistakes show up very easily, so bear this in mind if you’re in a hurry.
I haven’t worn this for ages and to be honest, I think it may be a while before it resurfaces again. This has only been on for two days and has already chipped despite having a topcoat (not Seche Vite) applied. Because of its unique shade, it can look very grubby, very quickly I had to repaint my nails for this blog post. By the time you read this, I’ll probably have already taken it off altogether. It’s a little too high maintenance for me.
GORGEOUS! Must purchase asap 🙂
It does look great on you but I think im too pale to pull that lighter shade off. I can imagine it would get grubby looking easily. x

Love the colour! Shame about it not being long lasting as it is gorgeous
Its looks a little to pale for my liking – also not up for high maintenance polishes.
Shame.

This looks so nice on your skin tone, it looks slightly peachy in this picture
very pretty nails ,love e colour
I 've been looking for a good nude shade for a while now and this one is very promising!
Hope I can pull it off given my skintone (and from what I can see with the grey in it, it could be tricky)!

hey I found your blog through spektra and I'm so glad I did! You write so well and I love all the posts I've checked out so far.
Awww, I'm sorry to hear this is a high-maintenance shade! It looks gorgeous on you though. 🙂
This does go really well with your skin tone and I bet it would look great as a pedi with some cute flip flops, it's shame that it doesn't last that long.
Thats a lovely colour but as i have a rinse in my hair it would probably make the nail colour darker
