Late summer calls for a mani that’s equal parts effortless and radiant—and Essie’s Liquid Sunshine is exactly that. This sheer, sunlit yellow is quietly becoming the sleeper hit of the season, thanks to its soft wash of warmth that feels like golden hour at your fingertips.

The buzz really kicked off when Taylor Swift’s engagement photos dropped, featuring a barely-there golden manicure that fans immediately tried to decode. Beauty sleuths say Essie’s Liquid Sunshine is the perfect dupe—delivering that same lit-from-within glow without overpowering your look.
At just $12.99, this shade is proof that sometimes the brightest beauty moments come in the most subtle strokes. A golden mani that whispers, not shouts? We’re here for it. —Noa Nichol
