Very beige. I wish it had a bit more of a pinky/peachy hue. The photos on real hands look more true to the actual colour; the photos of the Essie jar look a lot more pink than it actually is.

Hello Jennyfromtheblock. Thank you for sharing your results with color 'topless & barefoot'. While we describe this color as a soft beige pink, we appreciate knowing you would prefer something similar with a bit more pink.
Great polish, terrible shipping.

essie bordeaux: lovely burgundy shade perfect for fall/winter, but I didn’t like the formula at all.. too sheer: even after 3 coats it remained uneven, they should definitely reformulate

This has been my “go to” colour for years. I get so many compliments on it. I have lost count the number of bottles I have bought. Please don’t ever retire it.

A beautiful sheer pink that looks like a nicer version of my actual nails. If you look up nail concealer, that’s basically what this is except without the hefty markup.
Mademoiselle has Changed for the Worse

Recently picked up a new bottle of this polish. It has been my favorite for manicures for many years. But, I was so disappointed and heartbroken upon application. It's not the same color - the delicate semi-sheer look is gone. It no longer replicates a clean, natural nail. It was just tacky looking. I'm not sure who would want their nails to look like this. I get that sometimes colors are adjusted but why mess with a classic like Mademoiselle? This is no longer the clean, classic, elegant polish that it once was.

The color stays on for over a week when a clear coat is applied on top.
Meh. Color is nice, formula is not.

Too thick and hard to paint with unless you want to flood your cuticles. Polish takes forever to dry and almost seems old, due to the thickness. I do love the color, though.

I have had the worst luck with Essie polishes (they chip almost immediately) and can never understand why people like them. However, I thought I’d try one more time as this color was the perfect rusty red for fall. My mistake — it’s just as poor quality as I remembered!
Messy

Messy - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Very annoying color turned to be…even damaged my table during the process with acetone! Not possible to apply only one layer since it looks messy, then after second application it suddenly starts to look quite cheap. Unfortunately not a great experience for me at all.
Great color for everyday/every season
