Like Linen has been my go to polish for a clean, polished look for about a decade. It is a beautiful, creamy nude. I have had trouble in the past with nudes that are too pink or peach. Like Linen is c...Read more

I really like these kinds of colors. Most of the time I wear nude nail polish on my hands. This color is very pretty, A nude beige with a hint of pink but not overly pink. I love this one. For a more ...Read more

I'm olive-toned and this is my HG nude polish. One coat gives me a nice sheer color, like my nails but better. Two coats give me a more opaque color but I can still faintly see the white arch at the t...Read more

Very pretty nude pink-ivory. Looks great layered under a sheer pink or beige to brighten up the nail bed! Would repurchase.

I love this by iteself, or layered over another colour. One coat makes my tips look whiter and the nail clean & bright. One coat over Mademoiselle makes my nails look a bit pinkish, like the inside ...Read more

Like Linen is a great pale/sheer/nude that I think would work on most skintones. Not overly beige .. not pink .. almost like a very soft ivory. Two coats of this and my nails just look very crisp and...Read more

This was my first Essie polish. It obviously impressed be enough that my collection of them has grown to a massive size since. I originally went looking for a similar colour in OPI, but the salesgirl ...Read more

I rec'd this from a friend and this is HG nude status for me. It's not totally opaque at 3 coats, but nearly. The color isn't too yellow or pink, it's a decent simple neutral nude. The application was...Read more

This is an ok nude. I think most "nudes" tend to be either too white or too pink. I'm looking for something a little more tan/beige to go with my w/y-Irish/Scan coloring. I passed this one onto my ...Read more

I love to use this shade in the summer time when I would usually wear Ballet Slippers or Mademoiselle. It's a pretty sheer nude colour that looks so sexy and laid back on tanned fingertips.

My all-time favorite nude. (See pics in my profile). This is a sheer, glossy cream for those of us too warm to wear Ballet Slippers. I do find that it looks better with 2 or even 3 coats, because it...Read more

This is another Essie color that makes my nails look yellowish, sort of dirty.

It's a beautiful color on someone else. This is going up for swap also.

Continuing my streak of recent good luck with Essie's pale neutrals, I've found yet another one I like wearing. Perfect white-pink-beige, and more on the opaque/pigmented side, for those of you who l...Read more

A good solid natural, neutral. Nice for French. Not my HG - but OK for daily use.

It looks a lovely colour in the bottle but I was so disappointed when I applied it: it streaks. Because of that, I won't buy it again.

Essie polishes are always outstanding---long lasting, lovely colors that stand the test of everyday wear...like linen is a natural, neutral and pratical color that goes with everything!

Maybe again could be just my bottle, but this however streaks. Beautiful color for the clean crisp white polish.
