Marshmallow is a unique gentle white

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024

Color: 14 MARSHMALLOWSize: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I am pleased and surprised by this color. Is is a very pretty soft white. It isn't sheer nor opaque. I put 1 coat on. It isn't a start bright white. Very pretty alone or as a lower coat to mademoiselle light pink. I put 2 coats of mademoiselle on top with a glossy top coat and Essie base coat. It's my experiment to create a milky pink. I am pleased. I will try putting marshmallow alone on my toes. I do not care for the opaque start whites. This is softer like a marshmallow cloud. I recommend this product. It came wrapped in bubble wrap before being put in a box. Arrived safely.

Oh boy was this not my shade

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

Color: 05 PERFECTLY PECULIARSize: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I'm blonde and blue with red/pink undertones and this color reads like nickelodeon slime on me 😅 In just the worst way. Not the cool springy green I was going for. But I can see how it could be beautiful on probably any skintone other than mine. 5 stars because essie lacquer still dries down like glass when you buy the wrong color

Streaky, better for neutral or cool skin tone

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024

Color: 18 SUGAR DADDYSize: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I wanted to like this, and I've tried it twice. One or two coats came out streaky even with a base coat. Anything more, the color starts to stand out, which does not go well with my medium warm, olive skin tone. I think it tends to reflect more cool tones, making your nail bed look a bit odd. It's more pigmented than other sheer polishes I've tried.

Love it!

Reviewed in Canada on April 24, 2024

Color: 35 SUMMIT OF STYLESize: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

It’s definitely not as a dense sparkle… like it’s pretty spread out when you put it in, I recommend using it as a top coat on another colour! Otherwise it’s like a transparent polish with some sparkles. I mean you can layer it but it takes forever and never fully dries if you know what I mean. Otherwise super pretty with other colours!
