Essie seems to be a hit or miss for me depending on what shade I'm using. The pastel ones always seem to be streaky and not apply evenly on my nails even though they are buffed and applied over a...

Sugar Daddy goes on extremely sheer, so if you're looking for opaque colour payoff, this won't be for you. While it appears quite pink in the bottle, it leaves little more than the faintest hint of...

My hoooly grail nail polish brand! I'm not going to compare Essie with other high end brands since I don't own many nail polishes, but I can say that Essie is one of the best! It dries very fast,...

I wanted to love this polish after seeing it advertised in a magazine. Unfortunately, no matter how many coats I put on, it never got opaque/pink like the bottle. I want a milky pink. I was...

In my opinion, Sugar Daddy is the color one would buy to look pretty without looking like they tried. Almost gives the illusion of being effortlessly beautiful. The color is not nearly as opaque as...

This is the best sheer/neutral polish I've ever owned! Most lighter colored neutrals are very streaky and require several coats to look just ok. Sugar Daddy looks amazing after just one or two...

Let me start by saying; I have a tendency to yellowish nails without smoking or wearing too much polish or no base coat. Therefore, nude colours can be a bit tricky on my nails. Sugar daddy is a...

So, once again I have been let down by a "nude" nail shade. After 3 coats of this polish, I still can't tell whether or not I have actually put any nailpolish on. The one plus is that it does not...

Essie sucks!! I purchased ballet slippers which is a light pink. I thought that a polish with a hefty price tag of $8 would be better than this.The first coat was very light. After the third coat,...

This would be truly lovely for a French manicure: it's very very sheer but has just a tinge of healthy pink. However, I'm too busy (read: lazy) to keep up a French manicure, so this polish is just...

Awsome for a natural but still polished nail if you apply two thin coats and top it with Seche Vite. Three coats will be too much, then you get the "milky" look. But so extremely lovely if applied...

The color of the bottle is deceptive because I think most people would expect baby pink but it is actually a pinkish clear. While I will most often probably opt for more color, what I really like...

The only reason why I give it 4 lipies is because it makes my nails chip and peel sometimes. I use the grow faster and grow stronger. Obviously it is not helping my nails to grow stronger so I...

It's a sheer, pretty pink. I think it makes my nails look very pretty and natural. It also dries extremely quickly. This review was originally written for Essie Nail Polish - Sugar Daddy

I understand why so many people are disappointed by this color... If you're looking for an opaque baby pink, this is not what it is. But I love this polish, the color is a sheer baby pink, really...
