I struggle application and finish wise with other pales such as Ballet Slippers. I can never get a nice, streak free finish. This polish applies much better than those and the finish is nice and...

Not one into sheer shades but I actually love this one. A bit high maintenance yes, but after 3rd coda and a coat of SV on top it is actually really pretty. You could get away with 2 coats but I...

Vanity Fairest is a milky pinkish white nail polish packed with subtle microshimmer. You can only see the shimmer when very close - I found this when comparing shades at Bed Bath & Beyond and chose...

Vanity Fairest is a sheer milky white-pink shade of polish laced with very fine and subtle silver shimmer. The shimmer is not visible unless looking very closely at the nail, but it does increase...

A lovely sheer polish, perfect for the office or for those days you don't want coloured nails. This slightly sparkly polish applies easily and is a perfect "my nails but better" in 2 coats. Vanity...

Absolutely love this sheer pink polish. I'm a big Essie fan, but the truth is that when it comes to the sheer pinks and whites, it can really be hit or miss. Ballet Slippers is a perfect example of...

Beautiful neutral-pink sheer with micro-shimmer. Looks beautifully polished, clean and professional. Not too pink, girly or cute. Two medium coats provides my ideal sheer coverage. For me, does not...

I was trying to find Revlon's Sheer Blossom but this is a similar color to it. There's a bit of glitter from looking at the bottle which made me buy this (love glitter) This is a bit sheer(3...

I love this polish! I normally stick with nudes in the fall and winter. I was looking for a nude that looked like I had a professional manicure. I didn't want mannequin nails, and I didn't want...

A pretty slightly shimmery sheer pink which I thought could be HG material but is way too sheer for my liking. I used four coats of this and it is still so sheer that I can see my discolored nails...

Way too sheer. Couldn't get it to show up at all even after 2-3 coats. There's way better 'my nails but better' polishes out there.

This is one of my favorite "nude" nail polishes. It is not beige in any way but, I say "nude" to describe my nail as void of color. This is the perfect french manicure without the effort polishes....

I don't get what the big deal is about Essie Polish. I don.t see any difference in performance or quality than a comparable cheapr brand, like Rimmel. In fact, Rimmel polish has a much nicer...

Perfection. A holy grail polish if I ever saw one. My nails look amazingly manicured and pristine with this polish. Application is a dream. I use three coats and top it with SV. The micro shimmer...

I saw this polish on the front Page today. I read the reviews off chance and I was interested in the French look the reviewers spoke of. I'm not usually an impulse buyer but I got paid today and my...

Since I am more of a dark nail polish kind of person, I own very little nudes. In fact, this is the only nude I own in my collection (which is not tiny). When I looked at the bottle in a store,...
