I love this polish! Its a beautiful color and doesnt chip as quickly. Ive had this polish on for a week in this photo without touch ups. Highly recommend it!

This is my favorite color to use everyday, everywhere. It looks great in every skin color, now Im tanned but when my skin is clearer it also looks beautiful. I put on two coats then the “gel setter” top coat.

I bought this polish because I was slowly moving into the nude palette of nail polish but still wanted to stay in a pink shade. The name of this polish grabbed me first and I kept coming back to this color because of it. I took it home and put it on and immediately fell in love with it! It lifted my then dour mood and I felt just like its name the entire day. Please pardon my horrible cuticles in the photo, Im not so great with cuticle care just yet.

I have been searching for a long time a nude pink that compliments my skin tone (light/neutral with yellow/peach undertones). This is the perfect pink for me because it doesnt look like a rosy/pepto bismal/white pink that clashes with my skin tone and makes my fingernails stand out unnaturally. Essie Minimalistic is a little similar, it doesnt have that gray undertone and I felt was a little harder to work with. If my edges by the cuticle werent completed rounded then it stood out a lot. I find this polish easy to round out near my cuticles so it looks like a professional manicure. I feel that the grayish purple undertone Go Go Geisha has is perfect for everyday wear, no matter what season. I wore this during the Fall and received a lot of compliments from co-workers, so I feel that it is not just a Spring color. It can appear streaky with 2 coats, so 3 coats may be needed for full opacity. But since I have a hard time finding this color in store (I bought 2 backups because I figured it was limited edition since I found it on sale and now cant find it anymore), I now take my time when applying this color and can achieve full opacity with 2 coats if I gently glide the brush over my nail bed and not press hard (so I dont use up a bottle too fast). This color will last on my nails 4 days before chipping. This is great for me because I feel that I have oily nail beds and I wash my hands a lot at work. I hope this color comes back permanently. I bought a very similar color from a high end brand that cost me about $27 and I feel that the quality and dry time is a lot better with Essie and the color was not as unique as Go Go Geisha. That one chipped in two days and took longer to dry even with a quick dry top coat. Go Go Geisha is in my top 5 favorite Essie colors. If I see it again in store I will definitely purchase more backups. If you dont like loud light pinks, I really recommend this pink if youre lucky enough to find it. It is truly the perfect neutral/nude pink. And I own almost 100 polishes. See more

I bought this polish to replace another pale pink in my collection because it took too many coats to get opaque (like 5-6 and it was still a bit sheer). Fiji was nothing like that. Very easily opaque in 2-3 light coasts which is very good for a pastel. Not streaky at all. This will always be part of my collection.
