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)
