Go-to neutral

a year ago
This is my go-to. It is the perfect shade of sheer for a clean soapy-nail look. It is not as pink as ballet slipper and not as white as mademoiselle. With two coats between essie base coat and speed setter top coat, this lasts a week. Please keep making this color
Q: goes great with this shade

Skinny Dip - My forever favorite!

a year ago
I’ve worn natural sheers (pinks, ivory, whites) for over 30 years! Skinny dip is the BEST, most beautiful nail color for fans of this category. It’s not too this and not too that - it’s perfect. Clean, classy, soft. I have my mother and my daughter as devotees as well. My hands look like a million bucks with this shade. I hope Essie keeps it as a core color forever!

The perfect sheer pink

2 years ago
This is a lovely, sheer/nude/lightest peachy pink/my-natural-nails-but-better shade. I prefer it to all of the following, as all of the following are too milky: Mademoiselle; Ballet Slippers; Tie the Knotie; Vanity Fairest. But it avoids the bubblegum stridency of Sugar Daddy. It is a beautiful, subtle pink. It goes on without streaks (so different from Mademoiselle.) I am a very pale white person, with yellow undertones to my skin. I use this only for pedicures.

Great for under sheer opalescent colors! One coat looks like my natural nail but nicer. Topped with an opalescent topper and it’s beautiful 😍

Best sheer pink

6 years ago
I bought a bottle of this a year ago and haven’t been able to find it since, and it’s been my favorite nude pink in my collection. I finally found a rogue bottle of it at the drugstore today and I’m SO happy I saw it. Gorgeous color for everyday.

Best nude shade I have ever used

6 years ago
After trying many-many shades, this one looks perfect on my nails. I agree with other reviewers that is works best on medium skin tones.

Beautiful for medium skin tones

6 years ago
I am wearing this right now and it is the perfect nude for medium and dark tan skin tones. I really, really, really hope that Essie does not discontinue this shade (yes, I understand it’s Limited Edition, but you guys should make it permanent) as it is important to have nudes for all skin tones
