Shade 51 Specifics:
-
Name/Color: The shade number alone doesn’t always indicate the color name (Essence sometimes changes names).
-
Likely Color: If it’s 51 So Glam!, it’s a soft, milky nude-pink (great for a natural, clean-girl look).
-
Other Possibility: Some collections have shade 51 as a sheer pink, beige, or light mauve—check the bottle for the exact name.
Performance:
✔ Opacity: Usually 2 coats for full coverage (some shades are sheerer).
✔ Dry Time: Average (faster with thin layers).
✔ Longevity: Lasts ~3–5 days without chipping (varies with base/top coat).
✔ Finish: Smooth, glossy (not as durable as real gel but great for the price).
Pros:
