Q: Why are the pictures not matching up with the essie nail colors? For example, "Clothing Optional" is supposed to be a rosey color but it shows up as gray. Want to make sure I'm ordering what I need.

submitted by kfern - 6 years ago
  • A: I ordered Go Ginza-a nice light purple, I got Go Ginza a super pale lilac-almost white!!! so sad. I'm returning for the Play date-which looks a bit dark, but it should be perfect cuz they seem much lighter in person.

    submitted bypajnails - 5 years ago
  • A: yes i ordered the purple and mine was dark dark purple

    submitted bygiginails - 4 years ago

    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

    1 out of 5 stars
    SamMJ - 13 days ago
    originally posted on essie.com
    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.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 9 days ago
    Hello SamMJ. Thank you for sharing your experience with the color ' Mademoiselle '. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This color should be a milky sheer pink and by the second coat your color should be perfect. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

    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!

    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.

    Long lasting nail color. I used a layer of the Essie base coat, then 2 layers of this color (topless/barefeet), followed by 2 coats of the Essie (long wear top coat). The color of this polish on my brown skin is like a pink nude. No bubbling on my nails. I’m approaching a week and they’re good, no chipping or peeling.

    This used to be my favorite shade but it's not sheer any more. Even just one coat is streaky and weird. I thought it was the way I had applied it but I brought it to my manicurist and the same thing happened. Very disappointed.

    Hello jwNYC. Thank you for sharing your experience with the color Ballet Slippers. This color should be a classic pale pink with a subtle, sheer finish. By the second coat, all of our nail colors should look perfect! Your bottle does not sound like its going on as it should and we want to understand what happened just as much as you do.
