Essie Haute as Hello

       So quick post today, because I need to go run errands and if I don't leave soon, I will be too lazy to leave ever. If all goes as planned, hopefully, I can have some good news for you guys tomorrow. But for today, I have Essie Haute as Hello from last year's summer collection.

Haute as Hello is a pale but bright peachy-coral creme.

  Haute as Hello is beautiful! In the bottle, it doesn't really look like all that, but on the nail, it was so much better. The color looked more interesting...like more orange-y, and instead of the soft pastel coral I was expecting, it was shockingly, almost blindingly bright. It actually made me think of a radioactive RBL Patrick Starfish (RIP).
   However, I did have some issues with the formula. It wasn't too bad, but it was streaky and didn't level itself well. Even after four coats, there was still some streaks, but the topcoat helped smooth those over a bit.
   Even though the formula was troublesome, I really like the color on me (plus the name is too cute), so Haute as Hello can stay. 


And that's all from me today!! Thanks for reading, and have a happy hump day!!

I adore this color- but can't seem to find it! I know it was from an old collection though. It looks great on you!

I'm glad you like it, but sorry that you're having a hard time tracking it down. I hate when that happens.
If it helps, I found mine in a nail supply store, so if you haven't tried that, then maybe looking in nail stores or salons will be of help. I've also seen a few bottles in online stores.
Good luck, girl!
This looks great against your skin tone!!

Aw, you're the second person to say that!
I have a hard time finding Essies after their collections have passed too. But don't give up! I bet you'll find one soon.
Yeah, this does look better on the nail then in the bottle. That sucks about the leveling issues. But at the end it looks good.

I wish I had read your post before buying Starfish Patrick. I only realized they were similar after I shelled out the $$ for SP. They're both pretty colors, but both manage to look a bit off on my skin tone (unlike how amazing they look on you!)
