Essie site lists this as a 'sheer' white but it's surely not! More of an opaque, even with one coat. Returning it....and hate when a company mis-represents their own shade!

This makes an amazing pedicure. It looks jelly-white, with an ever-so-slight pink undertone. It doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard with this, just very clean and natural. I was also able to...

I’m on my second bottle and I agree that the formula has changed colors slightly. It doesn’t have the undertone of yellow like the old Marshmallow did. It’s more a jelly formula white. I love a...

This is meant to be a soft milky white for French tips, however it looks awesome applied to the entire nail plate. It is finicky and can be streaky. How I avoid the streaky mess or the need to...

I love the color and pictures of it where folks can get it to apply well. Sadly I can not get it to apply well. It's streaky and a mess even with a self-leveling top coat. 1, 2 or 3 coats, it...

I bought this in 2015 and had a COMPLETELY different experience- so streaky/patchy I had to return it. Goopy, impossible to work with. It was also more yellowy than the current one. In 2017, this...

I’m not sure why I expected this polish to be any different than other Essie polishes I’ve owned. It is streaky and rather unforgiving. The brush is difficult to spread across the nail. It stays...

I usually love Essie polishes. I own a fair number of them in a variety of finishes (sheer, opaque, etc.) and I’ve always been happy with the application, colour and lack of chipping. This,...

Marshmallow is not a true opaque, neither is it a true sheer. It's smack in the middle between Essie Blanc and Essie Waltz. It is difficult to apply due to its thick, jelly formula, but the end...

I've purchased more than several bottles, this is my go-to white. Jellie-like translucent takes 3 thin coats to be opaque, but I can do a thin first layer and a thick second layer for equal result...

I almost didn't buy this color because of all the negative reviews, but I'm glad I decided to try it out for myself. This color builds up nicely, which is good because I found it necessary to apply...

Before purchasing this polish, please note that the formula is supposed to be sheer AND yes it is streaky - because it's a jelly finish! I normally avoid jellies because of how time consuming they...

This is a beautiful gel-y, translucent white. If you're looking for a stark white, you're better off with Essie Blanc. This nail polish requires two things of the wearer: patience and ridge-free...

I was really disappointed in this colour, seeing as though I have brought many other colours from this brand and they have been amazing. However, this one comes out super blotchy and thick, and...

Hands on THE worst formula I have ever tried, and I own over four hundred bottles of nail polish. The formula was so watery and streaky. It was just simply awful. The color will build up to look...

Horrible formula. Super blotchy and streaky. Not up to Essie's standards. Ugh so mad because I love Essie, but so far their basic colors like this one and ballet slippers have disappointed me....

This is one of my HG polish colors. The Essie formula is always perfection but the best thing about this one is the color. It's a milky "jelly" white creme, no shimmer in this one, and only 99%...
