This is a sheer light pink polish. Great for natural looking nails with a lil umph to them. Gives the nails a polished/manicured appearance while appearing natural.
Decent price, easy application, doesn't take forever to dry, can be layered for a stronger color and also works good for french manicures.
There is some glitter in the polish, but I find that the glitter is fine (nails feel smooth after application) and it is very subtle.

This is a pretty light pink with a very subtle glitter, which I love and think sets it apart from all the other pinks out there. I'd actually be happier if the glitter was more noticeable. It takes 3 layers to achieve the colour in the bottle. Didn't notice too much streaking.

I can wear this alone, but also use it to get the PERFECT French manicure! :) What I use: Revlon White on White, Sheer Sugar (white) and Sheer Blossom (pink) - but any sheer white and pink will work I guess.
1- Apply one coat of Sheer Sugar and let it dry thoroughly. This doesn't turn my nails white, but rather a nice light pink. Sometimes it is streaky but it's okay because I go over it later.
2- Stick on French tip stencils, but personally I use tape to get the square tips. If the first coat isn't dry sometimes it will peel off along with the tape.
3- Apply 2 coats of White on White. Sometimes it is streaky but that's okay.
4- When this is fully dry, apply one coat of Sheer Blossom on the bottom pink half of your nails, and then one coat of Sheer Sugar over the top white half at the same time. This a) gets rid of the 'ridge' between the white/pink because the 2 layers of White on White kind of sticks out, b) fills in any streakiness from the previous layers, and c) if you apply the sheer pink over the whole thing, the white tip turns a weird pink colour. By applying the sheer white last, it keeps the tip fresh and white.
Using this method I had a perfect French manicure for 11 days, and by then I only removed it because my nails were getting too long and needed trimming.

I've had this in my stash for a while and put it on again to see if I would get rid of it. Now I remember why I don't like it. The colour is pretty with a tiny bit of shimmer but the second coat goes on streaky. There are prettier sheer pinks out there.

This is my HG sheer nail polish. It is the perfect sheer creamy pinkish nude polish that looks delicate, pretty, soft, and feminine. The shimmery sheen is very subtle and fine. I normally wear two coats and I have found this to be pretty durable.

I love this nail color. I like to use it to create a french manicure. It is the best top coat/all over nail color. The sheer nude pink is so delicate and feminine. It even has some subtle shimmer. It is one of my favorite nail colors.

I really hope Revlon will keep this as their permanent lines. It is classic.

Absolutely beautiful nail plish here, I adore this colour so much. It is a perfect, soft, delicate sheer pink with just the right, subtle amount of fine shimmer. Not tween style at all, it is so very fine, you can barely see it, it just adds a pretty sheen to your nails, absolutely gorgeous. I really love this colour and wear it constantly, as someone else mentioned, it gives you the ultra classic, 'parisian' look, very chic, your nails, but much, much better :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shade! I have worn my bottle out and went today to purchased another one (or 3!) bottles of this beautiful sheer colour. It seems as though it has now morphed into a sheer candy pink glitter colour. REVLON, HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? WHY!

Love the color. I thought the shimmer, which looks like subtle glitter in the bottle would look too juvenile and feel gritty but there was a sale and I figured I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did! I'm a stenography student and I need to keep my nails nourished and protected. I've recently picked up OPI Nail Envy Strengthener, OPI Bubble Bath and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Bamboo Shoot.

The OPI chipped way too soon into wearing it - like 3 days - and I don't have time to drop everything and do my nails all over again. I liked the Sally Hansen, it's great. I wanted something a little bit more pink, but still on the neutral side of things. Like someone would have to do a double take to make sure that I do have nail polish on, not in your face from across the room, hey that girl has on nail polish. Two coats of this, on a clear base is neutral. I ended up going for three coats of color to see how long this stuff will last and three coats achieves the color in the bottle. Time will tell how long it lasts, but in the mean time I'm loving the color.

This looks cute in the bottle. On my nail w/ one coat I can see my little white upside down moon at the bottom and I can still see the white of my nail at the top. The second coat goes on streaky. I really wanted my nails to be light pink w/ this but I don't get that effect. The streakiness is a real turn off. I lost the receipt though so I will just use it up. Very very shiny, which is a good point to this polish.

the trick to this (and the other Revlon) sheer polish is to:

1) make sure the first coat is THIN
2) make sure the first coat is VERY DRY before applying the second coat.

great stuff. great price. not *too* sure about the shade for my skin tone (i'm paler than nc15), but looks great so far...

First of all, I love Revlon nailpolish b/c it generally applies well, dries quickly with no odor after it's dry (I'm very sensitive to smells so this is important), lasts well esp. with a topcoat, and contains no toluene or formaldehyde. I have two of the sheer shades: Sheer Blossom (like another reviewer said, a sheer cherry blossom shade with a tiny bit of shimmer) and Sheer Sugar (a sheer milky white YNBB shade that I prefer of the two). Sheer Blossom is quite a "cool" pink against my pale neutral-to-warm skin coloring. If I apply more than one coat on fingernails it's just too pink. On toes it looks alright but quite sheer and I like toes with more oomph.

This is like Essie Mademoiselle, (very sheer creamy pink,) but with just a touch of sparkle. I usually don't like any shimmer or glitter on my nails, but this has JUST a touch...enough to look sparkly in the light without looking cheap. So pretty!

This is my new favorite nail color. It adds a little something to my nails, makes them look pretty and feminine. I use two coats on my hands and three on my toes. It's a sheer cherry blossom pink with teeny tiny glitter to it. It goes PERFECTLY with Shiseido's new for 2005 lip gloss in G14 "pretty pink". I'm all set for summer now!

I LOVE this colour for a manicure. Not sure what the problem is with 2 coats- mine goes on fine, but I also use a base coat. The color is a pretty girlie sheer bubblegum pink with teensy sparkles. Gorgeous. Also nice are Sheer Peach and Sheer Mauve.

I really like this nail polish. From far away it looks like a regular sheer pink, but up close it has Pretty Pretty Princess-esque sparkles. Perfect for when you want something a little fun but don't want to look like a twelve year old. But I took off a lippie because as people have said, it's almost impossible to get the coats to layer right. Also I find that it doesn't look nearly as good on my toes. It's probably LE but I hope they keep making these sheer polishes.

I bought the Sheer Blossom and Sheer Sugar and do french nails with them. They look so natural. The sheer sugar is a very natural white, it's like my fingers, but only way better! The pink has a little sparkle to it which I love. The whole effect is what they call it efforlessly beautiful. These colors are just the perfect, beautiful casual day to day look.

I just bought 2 of the new sheer colors from Revlon today, sheer blossom, and sheer peach, and I'm very happy with both of them. I haven't found them to be goopy or milky at all, just sheer pretty pale pink and peach colors with lots of shine and subtle shimmer. One coat is a sheer wash, 2 coats is a more pigmented- but still very subtle and girly.

I am using the polish on acrylic nails, maybe thats the difference? Either way, both sheer blossom and sheer peach are pretty spring colors that look great.
