Long wearing quality polish!
4 days ago
Love this polish I’ve never had this brand before and I was pleasantly surprised how awesome it is! This color is sheer which I like you can layer it to make it more saturated. I’ve tried other brands and they peel and start coming off in a day or two this lasted for a long time before I just decided to take it off. Love this and will for sure be buying some other colors!

Essie Mademoiselle is a soft, romantic pink with a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. The formula applies smoothly in just two coats, with no streaking or bubbling. Coverage is opaque and even, and it dries with a glossy, glass- like finish that lasted over week without chipping. Perfect for a polished, elegant everyday look.

Not my favorite nail polish!
4 days ago
I've gotta be honest, this wasn't my favorite nail polish. It brushed on nicely, but the color was too light and took too many layers and I don't have the patience to wait for that many layers to dry in-between! Overall it seems pretty decent quality, but the shade just wasn't dark enough.

I've been really enjoying this Essie nail polish. The formula goes on smoothly, dries fairly quickly, and gives a beautiful, even finish. I love this soft nude shade because it matches everything and makes my nails look clean and polished. It lasts several days without chipping when I use a top coat, and it's become one of my go-to colors for an effortless everyday manicure. I would definitely repurchase it!

"Smooth application, quick drying, and a beautiful finish, but shade 112 needs three coats for full coverage."
5 days ago
I like this Essie nail polish overall. The formula is smooth, easy to apply, and dries quickly. The scent is light and not overpowering, which I appreciate. The polish is fairly thin, so I needed three coats to get full coverage with shade 112. I personally prefer a polish that covers in one or two coats, but once fully applied, the color looks beautiful. Overall, it's a good polish with a nice finish.

The perfect classic enamel for an elegant and durable finish
5 days ago
Its enamel is extremely easy to apply, its brush is very well designed and allows you to distribute the right amount of product without leaving streaks. The formula is buildable, with one layer you get a subtle and refined shine, and with two or three you can have a more opaque and polished tone. Its performance is excellent, since it lasts several days without chiling. It is beautiful and ideal for any occasion

The perfect sheet milky pink shade!
5 days ago
Let me start by saying that I love Essie nail polish, and Essie Nail Lacquer in Mademoiselle 112 definitely lives up to the brand's reputation. This sheer, milky pink shade is incredibly versatile and works beautifully for so many different looks. Wear it alone for a clean, polished everyday manicure, use it as the perfect base for a classic French tip, or add an Essie sparkle topper for a little extra shimmer and fun.
The formula applies smoothly and evenly, and the patented easy-glide brush makes application simple and streak-free. Mademoiselle is the perfect "your nails but better" shade—a soft, sophisticated pink that gives your nails a healthy, well-groomed look. It's timeless, elegant, and a color I find myself reaching for again and again.

Nail lacquer

I love this product, it’s a polish that comes off with acetone and dries super fast. The pigmentation is very sheer , though you have to apply two coats to really see the color …how to use it: first, lift the cuticle and remove it with nippers, then gently file the nail to remove the shine and wipe away the dust with a little acetone, and apply the polish.

Classy and Subtle
7 days ago
Two coats of polish is perfection. It creates just the right tint on the nail to show that yes, something is there but it’s not overpowering. I love the sheen of it, very subtle but classy.
It dried relatively quickly but I did get some imperfections after trying to open something. I should have used a top coat to help protect it.
This may be my new go to polish for any event bc of how much I love it!
