This is light colored polish. It is like skin color but better. It is not too pale but it is not too pink, not too dark. This is great color for any occasion and any styling. Color No. 102 is great for low profile, nails do look great but they don't scream "Look at me!". Longevity? Two layers - five days. I am very pleased with this color because I don't have to think about color of my clothes and I don't have to think about really long lasting color of this polish. Highly recommend.
