Difficult to work with

10 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

12 days 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!

16 days ago
[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

26 days ago
[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

30 days 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.

Thin it out

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a sheer white that too some time to build up for opacity but I made it work. Definitely had to thin it out to be easier to use since I was patching my cracked nail

Hi there KaylaV, we love a resourceful beauty expert! Thank you for sharing how you made this white work for you. (your nail in the pic looks fabulous BTW) However, we don’t know why it was so sheer for you, the color Blanc should be a full coverage, pure snowy white. It sounds like your bottle was not up to our usual standards for this color, but we appreciate the feedback!

Doesn't apply smoothly

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the color of this polish, however, it is very thick and hard to apply smoothly. I did 2 passes, while letting the dry in between and it was still kind of clumpy.

Hi there RoyalA, It is wonderful to hear you love the pure, crisp white of the color Blanc, but we completely understand how disappointing it is when the application doesn't live up to the color. That thick, clumpy texture you described—especially when it makes a smooth finish impossible—is certainly not the high-quality experience you should have with any Essie color (looks great on your nail BTW!) The nail colors should all flow on easily and by the second coat the color should be perfect!

Classic quality

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a classic for my nails, with this nail polish I feel fancy and delicate, like an old money manicure. It’s easy to use, it last for a few days and the color is perfect for every occasion. I’m very happy with my nails results. I’m very happy with this nail polish.

A true, white nail polish

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a true white nail polish, and as such, it’s a bit unforgiving for those of us who aren’t the most talented at painting nails. That said, it provides great coverage and would be excellent for French manicures.

Hi there AndreaF, we hear you—true white polish is the ultimate 'expert level' of manicures! It can definitely be a bit tricky to get perfectly smooth. We’re so happy that you noticed that great coverage, though—that high pigmentation is exactly what makes it such a stunner for a French manicure! (your pic shows beautiful results BTW!) Thank you for the honest review and for sharing your styling tips with our community. Keep rocking that crisp white look!

Great 1st coat

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can always tell the quality of a white nail polish by the first coat. Other than the imperfections of nail color getting on my skin, I easily could have went with a single coat. The coverage is great and it takes just a few minutes to dry.

A perfect white polish!

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can I say other than this is a great, classic white polish. As with most Essie polishes you get quality, quick drying time and reasonable durability. Whether you’re looking for a French tip or a full white nail you won’t be disappointed with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is great for my tips. All it takes is a little bit of building up and it's perfect. Great on my toes and creates a great pedicure color. This looks so beautiful. I really enjoyed using it on my press on nails.

True white color

a month ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent coverage. Love the brush! Drying out very quickly. Have to put two coats. Only downside is that the nail polish will start chipping off at the about day three but I’m OK with it because my nails grow very fast. I would buy this again because of the color, quick, dry, and price.

Bring back the ORIGINAL Sugar Daddy color

2 months ago
I, too, am disappointed with the color change. I'm also disappointed with the generic answers I see from Essie. For the sake of greed and profit, Essie has changed a classic staple product. It used to be a subtle natural pink, now it's giving cheap bubble gum pink. Since I don't want to be let down again, I am finished trying any more colors.

Not my favourite colour, but good quality

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I don’t like the colour, I’m just simply not a fan of white nail polish, Essie does make very good quality nail colour products and this is no exception. The colour goes on smoothly and evenly, and the product lasted for a week without any chipping, until I just had to change the colour cause it was driving me nuts.

best brand nail polish

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always loved essie brand! It dries fast and lasts awhile. I wash my hands constantly and work in a field where I use my hands often and the polish stays strong for at least 1 full week. Has a beautiful shine to it and not many streaks. I have never had issues with bubbles or smudges. This white is great and has amazing coverage where 1-2 coats is plenty.

Great Nail Polish!!

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE Essie nail polish, so I was super excited to receive this stark white shade, Blanc, even though I've already got it. Lol. I have a huge Essie collection, so I'm always happy to add to it! Their polishes work really well for me, as far as longevity, it's easy to apply and remove, and I always get such a nice coat and great finish! I also like to use Essie Base and Top Coats when using their nail polishes! Their really great, and I TOTALLY recommend Essie to everyone!! 🤍

Best white nail polish

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who doesn’t love a white nail polish? It pairs well with the Essie nail break fix for broken nails . I find this white doesn’t turn colors after a while but does have its normal wear and tear like polish does . But it doesn’t not turn that yellow color or like the gloss part that chips away. If you get white a lot you if you know then. Overall, I do like this color and brand nail polish.

Cute white polish

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this white nail polish. I think white toenails are so cute and so fresh no matter what season it is. This is really good for French tips or full white nail. I like how it’s not overly thick and you’re able to do a few coats and create richness of color without it looking disgusting. The product was easy to use, and I haven’t noticed any appealing since using it. Zero bubbles and I haven’t had to remove it yet so I don’t know about that.

Just okay

2 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like Essie products in general, so I was excited to test this in exchange for an honest review. I am disappointed in the coverage this offers. This white is not one I can put on in one coat, and that is what I desire out of a nail polish as a busy mom. It chipped after one day. It is somewhat streaky, but I like the brush size and it dried relatively quickly. I would probably not buy this unless I was doing French tips and even then, I would probably opt for the quick dry instead.

White mani

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing beats nice clean mani. The nail polish color white is sometimes a hit or miss. It can be very difficult to get a clean manicure. This white was really clean. Bright. Good consistency. Easy to work with. And the color white was nice not to opaque. Not too white out looking. This nail polish would look so cute on my feet for summer.
