Burnt orange is one of my favourite colours to wear during autumn. It matches the colourful leaves perfectly and puts me in a cozy mood. Today, I am here with a review about probably the most famous burnt orange nail polish - Essie Playing Koi.

When it came out, Playing Koi caught the hearts of many people. I managed to hunt it down on eBay last year (you can't get Essie here), and I am very happy with my little bottle of goodness.

It is truly a beautiful burnt orange cream nail polish that can be easily a one-coater, though I used 2. I also can stamp with it if I want to, but I usually don't waste it on that.
Essie Playing Koi has a great formula that goes on without issues. It does not stain the nails either and dries quickly and very shiny. I didn't use a base or top coat, and it lasted 4 days without chipping, doing the dishes and all that jazz.

The majority of my photos shows it in very bright sunlight so it apperas to be lighter than it is, but the photo above shows the true deep colour of it. It is gorgeous both ways.

If you wanted to get this guy but missed it, do try it on eBay. If you are a fellow autumn-lover who likes to paint nails, this one is a lovely addition to any nail polish collection.
Also, where did my favourite season go? I can't believe it is the last day of November. I wish summer didn't stole 6 weeks of it. It is theoretically autumn up until the 21st of December, so there is that.
Are you excited for Christmas or do you feel anxious about the gift-hunting process?
