I got this because so many people regard it as their holy grail. Sadly, I really don't like it. This is a pale, sheer, slightly off-white. It doesn't self-level, and therefore can be very...

This is the MNBB polish I've been looking for my whole life! The color is subtle and gorgeous. I use a clear base (Mavala 002) then one coat of Allure, then a top coat. Bam! Looks great for days. I...

I can't do some of the other Essie nudes such as Ballet Slippers or Marshmallow very well. I struggle with them and find them streaky. This one is nothing like those application wise, it goes on...

Beautiful milky sheer white nail polish. I use just one coat. Two coats is too opaque for my taste. I'm on my 3rd bottle. Lovely neutral. Long lasting.

I have two bottles of Allure - one is from years ago before they changed the look of the bottle (has a raised E on the top of the bottle handle) and then a current bottle. I can say that the color...

Allure against my pale slightly warm skin is a milky semi-sheer off white color with hints of warmth. Upon first coat looks clear, after the second coat my nails look a bit cleaner and shinier...

My favorite neutral! I wear this when I want to look natural and polished. Light milky color, 2 coats looks nice and sheer and you can still see the whites of my tips. Formula is good, not...

I generally love Essie shades but I am clearly in the minority here with Allure. I really don't like this shade. Frankly I don't know how some ladies see pink in Allure. For me it is white with a...

Yes! HG sheer white!!! No streaks! Typical thin, flexible Essie brush. This polish is an absolute dream to apply.

Such a pretty polish. I used four coats to build to a sheer white, and can still see the whites of my nails. This polish gives my nails a clean, well manicured look. It applied perfectly with no...

This is one of my go-to polishes. It's sheer, but buildable. Three coats usually gives me full opacity, which is perfect because more than three coats makes it very thick (but that's usually with...

I can see how this polish might be underwhelming. Think of it as a clear polish with a hint of white, which acts as a brightener. The result is shiny nails which are ever-so-slightly brightened. ...

Allure is great when layered 3-4 times. That makes drying time a pain, though. It gives your nails a nice neutral white glaze effect that looks very classy and chic. It's hard to find a neutral...

Allure is a great polish for layering with light pinks in order to create a whole new beautiful shade, or simply worn alone it will need 2-4 coats for visual whitish color to show enough which...

Allure is a sheer milky palest pink that gives nails a clean and fresh appearance. These pale shades have a tendency to be tricky but this one is an exception, every coat is perfectly even, smooth...

Unlike most of people here on this website, I don't like crazy colors for my toe nails. I think feet should just look as clean and delicate as possible. That's why I normally wear sheer white-ish...

I was looking for a whiter, more opaque finish & unfortunately the Essie swatches in store are a bit misleading in terms of the opaqueness. I do however like the cour as it does have a hint of...

I'm a neutral nail polish person. The less dramatic, the better. And when I was in the market for a white polish, I went straight to Essie. This polish is rather sheer. Not like Essie's...
