    This is a sheer white polish, which is exactly what I was looking for. I actually went out to buy Marshmallow, then I saw this and wondered what the difference was. I ended up choosing Allure over...

    I love Essie polishes! I usually go for deeper colors, but I needed to add a sheer/white color to my collection. I've purchased cheapie cream/ sheer colors to experiment with, and they all looked...

    Bought to wear under Lippmann's Stairway to Heaven, and it is a disappointment. The bottle color is lovely, but it takes way too many coats to get there. I usually wear this over Oui Madame when...

    I'm very pale and this is my musthave nude. Shiny, very sheer and natural - and lasts for 5 days with absolutely no chips. But if you want color, you'll have to put on at least 3 coats.

    Perfect nude that goes very well with my light olive complexion. Usually for nudes I go either with Like Linen or Limosine, both from Essie. However, read that this was a classy nude so I tried....

    Okay, I have to admit I bought this because of the royal wedding. Embarrassing? A little. HOWEVER, this colour is simply gorgeous on my nails! I saw this at the store and I had a lot of trouble...

    I love this nail polish and I'm wearing it right now! It's a nude color and takes a few coats to be noticeable, but looks so nice on my hands especially with a slight tan. It makes my nails look so...

    If you don't want alot of color but don't want to go polishless this is for you. Very clean and sophisticated. Plus Kate Middleton wore this on her wedding day :)

    This was one of the first shades I bought from Essie. I like the sheer cream color and it adds a slight milkiness to my nails yet looks completely natural. Good for work and when I want a sheer...

    Hurray!! I am a recovering nail biter and the skin is a bit red around my nails. Anything too pink doesn't work, and anything too white doesn't work either. The manicurist recommended this and...

    This color is a soft nude, not overly beige or pink, not too chalky or too warm. Like all Essie polishes, the formula is ice and thin, going on smoothly, drying quickly and lasting a long time (a...

    It might be my skin tone, but this color doesn't really show up on me unless I pack on 3+ coats, in which case it's a really pale nude color (almost white). However, it does unify your natural nail...

    I am glad I gave his color a try (based on reviews here) because my first Essie was Spaghetti Strap which is HORRIBLE-thick, gooey and streaky. Allure, however is WONDERFUL. Very sheer,...

    Perfect color for me for a regular, nude manicure. I got the hot tip here and it has turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I like the formula so much, too. It dries immediately and is thin so...

    Less pink than Mademoiselle, less white than Ballet Slippers; it looks white in the bottle and goes on a sheer white with a twinge of pink. Application was pretty good, less streaky than most...
