I was wearing Essie Eternal Optimist my last paper because I wanted to be as optimistic as possible and not to feel depressed if the paper went terribly wrong. Eternal Optimist is a light salmon which gravitates more towards the pink side then orange. I was actually rather surprised when I got it because alot of the swatches I googled showed it as a nude but the description "spiced tea rose" is pretty accurate except it's not as dark / dusty as I would have imagined (when I think of spiced tea rose, I think of ChG Fifth Avenue).
Here's the most accurate shot of it I can get! Please ignore my super dry cuticles. Maybe it's time I invested in some cuticle cream.
I felt a little weird when wearing it because it was too pink for my preference but if you're comfortable wearing pinks, give it a go!
The wear time for me was horrendous though. I had chips on a couple of nails after 1 day (maybe from the excessive flipping of my notes and textbook during my exam and the shopping afterwards). Essie usually wears like iron on my nails so I'm convinced it chipped so quickly due to the things I did rather than its formula.
This was 2 coats (I think) with a coat of Seche on top.
