Allure had a strange enough beginning as it was created especially for the birthday of the US beauty magazine of the same name. It has a more buttery, cream tone than the Queen's go-to, but it's believed that she is a fan of both, and of wearing nothing at all on her nails. If you select nail colors based on seasons like me, you’ll love these two shades because you can wear them all year round. However, I love wearing the light pink Mademoiselle during summer, and the bright pink Sugar Daddy works well with all my spring outfits. Ease of Application Essie Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle look great on all skin tones because they are pink. People with paler skin tones will appreciate them because they accentuate the pink hue of the nail bed without overwhelming the pale skin. At two coats is where the true differences between these nail polishes start to become clear. Essie’s Sugar Daddy retains its feminine, warm pink. On the other hand, the white tones of Essie mademoiselle are more discernible, but only if you put swatches of the polishes side by side. What's most impressive is its staying power. After all, it shouldn't be that hard to find a dupe for a pale pink nail polish. But the texture sets it apart from the rest. "Many try to capture the soft, neutral pink color, but what's truly unique about Ballet Slippers is it's not-quite-sheer, not-quite-opaque look," says Remark. "The result is a soft pink veil of color that conceals nail imperfections and flatters your nails all while remaining clean and sheer." Plus, that translucence means it works for just about everyone, which might explain why it's a regular for brides (so much so that some bridal experts hold it as the standard). "It doesn’t compete with your dress and complements rings perfectly," says Sarah Gibson Tuttle, founder of L.A. nail salon Olive & June. "It's been a bride favorite forever."
Essie Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle are perfect for formal settings like job interviews and business meetings. Essie Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle are true sheers – meaning that you will still see your nail line even at three coats. I love these see-through colors, but sometimes I want a slightly opaque mani without using more than three coats.
Sheer nail polishes don’t always have to be boring, stand-alone colors. You can switch techniques or mix them with other colors to create more artistic and creative manicures. It's also a red-carpet staple. It's last reported celebrity sighting was on Emma Stone at the 2018 Met Gala. And everyone from Barbra Streisand to Mandy Moore has worn it. “Ballet Slippers has less pink than similar polishes, so it's better-suited for high fashion and couture styles," says celebrity manicurist Emi Kudo, who counts Stone, Yara Shahidi, and Kerry Washington among her clients. "It never fights with any outfit, which is why I think celebrities have loved this color for so long. I've been using this color on them for 20 years."
Essie Mademoiselle is the easiest sheer polish to apply. The brand tweaked its formula to make it more self-leveling; therefore, it does not streak.One of the most popular ways of wearing Essie Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle is as a base for nail art. I love nail art, but sometimes the colors turn out bright and draw too much attention to my fingers. Essie Sugar daddy makes an excellent base for cute nail art or the sophisticated French manicure. However, you can layer it over bolder Essie colors to create pink-toned custom hues. On the other hand, Essie Sugar Daddy is slightly streaky on the first coat, but you can easily correct the mess with a second coat. Kate famously wore Essie's Allure on her wedding day 11 years ago now, and the Queen always wore the brand's Ballet Slippers, a nude pink-tan shade that is really very elegant. However, Essie designed this formula to self-level, so even a beginner manicurist can pull it off without the streaking. What Color is Essie Mademoiselle?
