The perfect natural manicure with essie mademoiselle

8 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with Essie nail polish in the shade Mademoiselle. Recently, I used it for my mom's manicure, and the color suited her perfectly. She loves soft, natural shades that enhance the beauty of the nails without looking too bright or overpowering. Mademoiselle is a beautiful sheer pink-beige shade that makes nails look neat, well-groomed, and very feminine. It is perfect for everyday wear as well as special occasions. After application, the nails looked naturally elegant, almost like a professional salon manicure. The polish features a comfortable brush that allows for smooth, streak-free application. The consistency is just right—not too thick and not too thin. We applied two coats for a more noticeable color, and the result was absolutely gorgeous. The polish went on evenly without streaks, bubbles, or uneven patches. I especially liked how quickly it dried and how well it maintained its beautiful appearance. Even after several days, the manicure still looked fresh and polished. My mom was very happy with the results and immediately said that this had become one of her favorite shades. It looks sophisticated, delicate, and pairs beautifully with almost any outfit or occasion. Essie Mademoiselle is an excellent choice for anyone who loves a natural, elegant, and well-groomed manicure. The high quality, versatile shade, and easy application make it a true standout. I will definitely purchase it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the nail polish a fine texture and a perfect finish ... it is easy to apply only a thin layer and then if you want a darker tone double layer, I love the result and the shine it leaves without the need to use another nail polish, for a fine and elegant occasion I would choose this color I love

Perfect light pink nude color

9 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Someone who doesn’t wear a lot of nail polish, I always wanna find something that’s more neutral, but still has a little bit of color in it. I really like this Mademoiselle color by Essie! Pink usually scares me a little bit, but it’s the perfect nude with just a hint of pink. It dried so quickly and two coats was the perfect amount. So far it’s staying on perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] such a beautiful nudey/ballerina pink. i have very fair skin and i feel like it compliments it greatly. so easy to throw in your bag and take on the go for any touch ups you may need. you really could get away with just doing one coat, it is very thick which is great in my opinion.

A single layer is enough to achieve a vibrant, sophisticated red with a spectacular professional quality shine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie enamels never disappoint, and this is no exception. This red is beautiful, intense and very sophisticated. The brush makes the application very easy and even, even if you paint your nails at home. It has excellent coverage and impeccable toughness for days. It became my favorite enamel! Perfect bottle size

If you love natural looking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie mademoiselle is the perfect soft pink polish! The color looks clean, elegant, and natural while still giving my nails a beautiful glossy finish. Formula applied smoothly, and two coats provide an even, salon-quality look. I love how versatile this shade is-it works for everyday wear, special occasions, or a classic Fresh manicure. The shine is gorgeous, and my nails looked polished and healthy for day . Highly recommend

“A beautiful, elegant and easy-to-apply nail polish that leaves the nails with a professional finish.

9 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it is very easy to apply thanks to its brush, which helps to cover the nail evenly. It dries quickly and with one or two layers a beautiful finish is achieved. I think it's a comfortable product to use. It does not cause discomfort when applying it and leaves the nails with a neat appearance. The bottle is practical and keeps the product tightly closed. The application is clean and does not leave much mess if used with care.The soft/nude pink color looks elegant and natural. Leaves the nails with a shiny finish and with the appearance of a manicure made in a salon. The size is perfect to carry it in a wallet or toiletry bag and be able to make touch-ups when necessary.

A timeless soft pink polish with a smooth application , glossy finish and long- lasting wear

12 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love Essie mademoiselle the packaging is elegant and classic , making it easy to recognize in my nail polish collection . The soft pink shade is beautiful. The texture is smooth and lightweight , allowing for easy and streak-free applications In terms of performance, the polish dries fairly quickly .and leaves a glossy, salon-like finish. It wears well for several days with minimal chipping when used with a top coat. One thing I noticed is the subtle sound of the brush against the bottle neck, which feels sturdy and well-made when opening and closing the product. As for compatibility, this shade works beautifully with all skin tones and is perfect for both casual and professional occasions. It also pairs well with different nail lengths and styles. Overall, Essie Mademoiselle is a timeless, versatile nail polish that delivers a clean, polished look, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a soft , sophisticated pink shade

Essie 112

12 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is gorgeous—I absolutely love it. If you appreciate elegant, understated nails, you simply must have this “Mademoiselle” shade; it works as a base coat but also looks beautiful on its own as the main color. It’s a shade you can wear anytime, and I love how long-lasting it is. Just be sure to let it dry completely and prep your nails properly for the best durability and results. I’m totally in love with this color.

Not my favorite formula

21 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look of a clean white manicure. Unfortunately this one wasn’t my favorite. I tried it a few times and it applied streaky which is unlike the Essie formula I know. It took multiple coats to get the opacity I wanted. I think this might work better as a nail art shade. It also seemed to chip pretty quickly.

Oh no AmandaJ, we are so sorry to hear this shade didn't live up to the Essie standard you know and love! A clean white mani is the absolute ultimate look, and we completely understand how disappointing it is when it takes too many coats or chips quickly. Your bottle definitely does not sound like it was up to standard. All of our colors, including the Blanc, should flow one easily and look perfect by the second coat. We get why you went with so many coats, but applying more than 2 coats of color increases the chance of any nail enamel chipping. The layers never dry right. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we've shared your experience directly with our product team to ensure we keep delivering the smooth, easy application you expect from us. We also think you are spot on—this white would make a perfect accent or French tip shade!

Difficult to work with

29 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know white nail polishes are usually thicker because of the pigment, and this one was no exception. The formula felt very thick and streaky, making it hard apply thin, even coats. The brush also left visible lines, and thicker coats took long time to dry. Unfortunately, white polishes are usually more trouble than they're worth for me.

Hi there NataliaH, we are so sorry this bottle was more frustrating than fabulous. Nail polish should be fun, not work! This pure white color should still flow easily onto the nail and by the second coat, the color should be perfect. It sounds like your bottle was not the typical consistency for this color, if the polish is too thick, streaks and long dry time are the result.

Color changed - no longer the cult favorite

a month ago
Mademoiselle used to be my “go to” color. It was the perfect nude (similar to Essie’s long discontinued Adore-a-ball), not too pink, not too beige, and I wore it all the time. Then the color changed. It’s now way too pink, and I hate it. I’m so disappointed that despite feedback from many loyal users, Essie has not seen fit to change it back to the perfect color it was. If you’re going to introduce a new color, don’t destroy a customer favorite - just call it something else. And please bring back the old color, even if you are using a new formulation. Making the argument that a color change is the result of a new formulation rather than owning up to the fact that you made a deliberate change to the color is insulting.

Hello there, thank you for sharing such candid and valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment you’ve experienced with the recent bottles of Mademoiselle, and we completely respect your perspective on how we communicate these changes. You are entirely correct that a change in formula should not come at the expense of a beloved, classic shade. When reformulating to ensure our products are 100% vegan, our goal was to maintain the exact color integrity of Mademoiselle. However, we hear your feedback—and that of other loyal users—that the current version leans too pink and lacks the neutral, beige-leaning balance that made the original shade so perfect. Please know that we take your comments to heart, and your request to bring back the original hue is being shared directly with our color-formulation teams.

GREAT FOR MANICURES!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it! It's perfect for my blank nails if I want french tips! It goes on smooth and is pigmented with one coat! It also dries pretty fast as well which I love! So far my nails have lasted a while too so it has good wear! Gonna get some other colors because it's honestly really good.

Loved and lost

I used Vanity Fairest for years, it was the perfect sheer nude pink with a bit of sparkle, great for year-round and a wonderful neutral without being boring. HOWEVER, Essie changed the formula and while it's still sheer, the sparkle is gone and its overall color is just another boring pink. Shame on you Essie.

It’s okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not the best at painting nails as you can see from the photo but the color is good. It wasn’t too thin but did have to apply a second layer. The polish held pretty well with a clear top coat with no chipping and dried pretty fast.

Crisp White

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie's Blanc is a true bright white with smooth application and minimal streaking. It levels well, dries fast, and reaches full opacity after two coats with a glossy, clean finish. The brush glides easily and makes it simple to get an even look. I get the best results with a base coat, and with a top coat, it wears well on my nails and even longer on my toes. It's great for French tips, nail art, or a full white manicure, and the vegan, 8-free formula is a nice bonus. It's a classic, crisp white that works for both everyday looks and more detailed designs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essies Blanc is an iconic color that everyone should have. Essies formula applies nicely, dries quickly and is not streaky. I love how opaque it is after two coats.
