This is probably my favourite pink nail polish of all time. Essie Punchy Pink 694 is a bright warm neon pink. It's lighter than most other neons which really sets it apart. I also like the way it makes me look a lot more tanned than I really am. It dries to a matt finish so you'll need a topcoat to get it glossy. My one is on the thick side but it's still easily applied.
Essie Punchy Pink (flash)
I used 2 coats here which is fine for real life (the camera picks up any unevenness). I get good wear out of these, approx 3-4 days before I get any tip wear. As for dupes Essie's Pink Parka is about the closest (a bit cooler in tone) or Models Own Bubble Gum (slightly darker and cooler in tone)
UPDATE: More Comparisons...
From Thumb to Pinkie: Models Own Bubble Gum, China Glaze Pink Voltage, Nina Pro Fuchsia Rage, Essie Punchy Pink, Essie Pink Parka

I cannot find none of the above at beautyexpert.co.uk..Any other dupe? I love this color so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi sorry you can't find any of these! You could try fuchsia rage by nina pro from Sally's. The formula isn't as good though but the colours are quite similar. Also you can get bubble gum from modelsownit.com. I'll try and do a photo of the comparisons when I can! Hope that helps!
DeleteWow!You are so helpful! Thank you very much..I would appreciate the photos
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I've put them up so I hope it helps!
DeleteA lot!!!I believe that the closest is the Nina pro Fuchsia Rage.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this article, I've been desperately hunting my favourite Essie pink as its almost finished. Your research and colour match has made my day and i'm glad i can still be neon pink after all! :) Truly is the best colour ... i wish they would bring it back.
