Where is esie's color called meatballs?

Hi there Geri! Unfortunately, the shade meatballs is not a current essie color and is not available. Sometimes, online reviewers reference discontinued shades, which we know can be confusing.

Do you need an LED lamp?

Nope! You just need the Essie gel top coat to give it the "gel" functionality. It also helps the polish dry super quickly!

Two coats sufficient, went on smoothly
