Slightly whiter than Mademoiselle. Very sheer, and the microshimmer dosn't show up at all. It's clean looking at 3 coats, but to be honest it's highly dupeable.

This went on smooth and doesn't chip easily. I'm very pale, and it's makes my nails look healthier, and almost like I have a french manicure.

I bought this and FIJI at the same time thinking they would be quite similar and was surprised when this colour didn't have much pigmentation and took a few coats to even make it look like I had...

l love this sheer pale pink with microshimmer from Essie. I have tried many of the Essie pale/sheer polishes and find most of them streak no matter how carefully I apply them. But not Vanity...

This the perfect sheer, non-streaky Essie shade for "clean" and pretty natural nails! Works much better than Mademoiselle against my NW10 skin. Mademoiselle didn't seem to show up at all, and had...

This is the only neutral nail color I own and probably will own. Two coats leaves it perfectly sheer - sort of a 'your nails but better'. I use it in-between my stranger nail colors to protect my...

Meh. Another sheer pale pink from Essie. I had to apply 5 coats of this to get it to level of opacity that I desired. Then I applied my Essie Good-to-Go topcoat, waited 20 mins and went to bed,...

I work in a fast-food restaurant where I'm not allowed to wear nail polish. Since I love doing fun manicures this is a minor annoyance for me, but I use a good remover and it's not a big deal to...

Pretty color-sheer pink with a little shimmer. I prefer opaque colors and this definitely did not give me that. Even after three coats the free edge of my nail was visible. Pretty if you are...

I couldn't see it in the bottle before I bought it, but this polish has microshimmers. It's what I would give a five-year-old who wanted to be a "pretty princess". Otherwise it's an inoffensive...

I really like this, and agree its a french manicure pink. Perfect mix of sophisticated and cute.

My ultimate go-to for a neutral mani. Just looks clean, sophisticated, fresh and pretty. Not too pink, or too white and absolutely no yellow undertone. The micro-micro glitter is almost invisible...

On the first coat, as expected, it looks basically clear. Completely not streaky, and applied very well. However, on the second coat, if I wasn't careful it would get patchy and streaky. Not in a...

Love this color! It's a sheer, cool-toned baby pink w/ superfine shimmers in it. Packaging is typical Essie - small square bottle w/ small/narrow brush, which I wish they would modify to an...

RIS- this is a really pretty shade. a very light, natural pink (think french manicure pink) but I love the micro glitter! gives a teeny bit of shimmer. Not my favorite, but will definitely keep...

This is a lovely sheer lady-like pink with a touch of pearly shimmer. It gives a soft french look, even with 2 coats. It's very feminine and classy. That said, it's difficult to apply as it...

Nice, high shine, sheer, light barely pink shade with the slightest microshimmer. It's a lovely shade, not too noticeable just enough to make your nails look better. Which is saying a lot from me...

All in all, I am very pleased with Vanity Fairest as a neutral, sheer or french choice. As others have said before me, it is a neutral pink with a tiny touch of microshimmer to it. <br><br> This...

I didn't feel like doing a French Manicure so I thought this was a nice substitute. This color is gorgeous! I applied two coats. I love the sheer pink opaqueness of this nail color. Looks nice...

I must have gotten a bad bottle because this is absolute garbage. Thick, gloopy, streaky, UGH. It is nothing at all like my beloved Mademoiselle. I am unimpressed with Essie as a brand and this...
