Product Information

However, after applying them to the nail, you’ll notice a slight color distinction. Mademoiselle #112 is as pink as you see it through the bottle. It looks like a sheerer version of Essie ballet slippers. You need at least three coats of polish to achieve the exact pink you see through the bottles of both Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle. However, you can use one or two coats to tone down the intensity of the color or control the sheerness of the manicure. Let me explain.

The main similarities between Essie Ballet slippers and Sugar Daddy are that they are from the same brand and are sheer pink. However, for the color, Sugar Daddy is a warm pink, while Essie ballet slippers look milkier with pink undertones. 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.

Mademoiselle is a sheer pink nail polish like Sugar Daddy; however, it has slight white tones in comparison. In addition, It is a little more opaque than Essie Sugar Daddy, but your nail bed and nail line will still show through the polish. Compared to other Essie sheer pink polishes, this shade looks like Essie Ballet slippers but sheerer. Essie Sugar Daddy is a warm sheer pink nail polish with light coverage. It makes the natural pink hue of the nail bed look more vibrant without looking like you’ve applied anything to it. Even with the full three coats, this nail polish remains entirely sheer.

Essie describes their Sugar Daddy shade either as #15 or core 15. I’ve always avoided confusing numbering as I did with other pinks like Ballet slippers or Mademoiselle. Other Sheer Pink Nail Polishes Often Compared to Essie Sugar Daddy If you’re not a nail art or polish layering fan, apply Essie Sugar Daddy as a stand-alone color for an effortlessly natural manicure. What Number is Essie Sugar Daddy? 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. So, I usually use these sheer pinks over white Essie polishes to allow them to reach their true color with fewer coats. I love using opaque white nail polishes, but you can also use a white-toned sheer polish for a lighter effect. Use them to Create Ombre Nails However, looking closely, Mademoiselle has slight milky tones that make it more of a pink-white sheer. Nevertheless, the whitish tones of Mademoiselle are not that obvious, especially if you compare it to Essie Ballet slippers – another classic sheer pink nail polish.

I love an ombre manicure. However, I always struggle with the sponges, and the nail polish floods my cuticles. 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.
