The ultra-smooth formula provides chip-resistant, fast-drying and long-lasting color. Nail Lacquer does not contain formaldehyde, toluene, or dibutyl phthalate (DBP).
En Pointe is a semi-sheer light pink polish with just a tinge of peach. It's very "office appropriate" and also good for a "your nails but better" sort of look. Colors like this are great because even when they chip, it's hardly noticeable. Two coats will get you a fairly sheer coverage, while three coats creates a nearly opaque look.

Please excuse my not so cute cuticles...
I'm surprised that this is a limited edition color, since it's your basic "office appropriate" nail color. There are tons of similar colors by other brands that aren't limited edition. However, Laura Mercier does have a good formula.
This shade can be a smidge streaky, but I personally am not great at applying semi-sheer colors. My third attempt at a manicure with En Pointe was much smoother, and no streaking, even with just two coats (not pictured). My manis lasted almost a week with some tip wear and maybe one chip or so, which is slightly above average for me. I'm pretty hard on my nails.
Overall, it's a great staple to add to your nail polish collection if you don't already have a good quality nude polish. The major drawback to this polish is the price, since there are many cheaper alternatives out there.
