Barely There

What is the best barely there polish?
I thought I had made a major discovery at Altuzarra last week when I was introduced to Essie’s Spaghetti Strap, a barely there, wear it everyday, sheer, pink polish. My search for that color was finally over.
I came back to the Studio, excited about the polish (which really, is nothing new) and forced everyone to try it (except Erik). Emily and Brie became instant fans but Garance was harder to convince. For her, the color was too pink, it wasn’t right for her skin tone. Her go-to? Essie’s Sugar Daddy.
Now, what’s your favorite barely there polish?
For a more nude less pink look I go to Yummy Mummy by Butter London.
i wear this barely there white/pink/beige when i go to jobs and i need to look pulled together! :)

Essie’s Ballet Slipper!
Ils sont trop choupinoux ces vernis!!
Essie’s Sandy Beach. Just two coats. It gives my nails a perfectly polished look, without looking too much like nailpolish. In other words; barely there!
I don’t like nail art ! But this pink is very sweety ,i wanna use this colour !
Bravo essie !
Kisses a lot

That would be Essie too. But for me ‘Mademoiselle’.

I like Essie’s Mademoiselle
Have you tried Beach by RGB? It is great with one coat or two. I also prefer to simply have my nails buffed to a nice shine–no polish necessary!
I like Spaghetti Strap, but for me more versatile is Limo Scene. But well, whatever, my bf won’t notice it anyway!
nice! I love finding new nail polish colors, and I love a good neutral! Post a pic with it on!

Essie Mademoiselle!
Essie “Au Natural”.
pink glove treatment….looks pink in bottle…..sheer almost clear with a pink blush….net to nothing Essie
My go to is Essie’s Mademoiselle!
Essie’s Mademoiselle too ! Love it
My go to is ALSO Sugar Daddy!!!! Love it!
I love a great percentage of the essie nail polishes, and probably own too many, but my favourite barely there polish which I wear more often than not is the Essie “not just a pretty face polish” I am pale with olive undertones and sometimes too cool toned polishes wash me out such as reds and magentas- the not just a pretty face polish really brings out the olive to my skin and captures the slight tan I have on my hands. Forever love this baby, she’s certainly a beaut!

Such a lovely color! I love Essie ????

A mon avis c’est Smith & Cult Ghost Edit!! Vraiement, c’est éblouissant! Clair, dur, joli. C’est until vernis nouveau, et je suis tombé amoureuse.
I’m with Garance: Sugar Daddy is the best!
Plus du tout Essie
justement ! Neuf, c’est en piteux état qu’il finit un long-courrier et ouvert, le contenu du flacon est correct 15 jours …donc, habitant sous les Tropiques, j’ai laissé choir la marque. En zone humide et chaude, on revoit tous ses habitudes beauté !
Bubble Bath by OPI has always been my go to!
Base Ongles lisses et lumineux et Base Ongles renforcés de Yves Rocher. Garanti non testé sur animaux en plus.
Ballerina from FNUG
Mine is OPI Samoan Sand – not a hint of pink, real nude.
Barely there but still, the color is discret but lovely and it makes you look classy without any effort x

Tickle my France O.P.I.
Le vernis Mademoiselle d’Essie ! :)
Essie > Mademoiselle !
Le Ballet Slipper, sans aucun doute. Discret mais présent.
After all this craziness of color and composition on your finger nails ….it’s nice to have a soft natural color soooo elegant.

Essie’s marshmallow! But now I have to try this one!

Heu…rien ? Je n’aime que le rouge, bordeaux ou noir sur mes ongles de main, le reste fait trop classique, un brin trop ‘bourgeois’ !

Essie Allure (2 coats) or Essie Sand Tropez (it has a slightly geryish colour that looks very sophisticated). Go Essie!
Depuis quelques temps, mon vernis ultra discret c’est le Wondrous de chez Formula X; on dirait juste qu’on a de très beaux ongles. Facile à mettre, à enlever, à trouver (Sephora) et abordable
Essie’s Mademoiselle, of course!
Vanity fairest. Very lite sparkles ! Adorable all year long !
At last!! I though it was just going to be me against the “Mademoiselle” Crowd!
Vanity Fairest is the best, especially if you’re super-pale like me. (And its extra awesome on top of one coat of a semi-opaque nude. I call it my ‘jewelry ad’ manicure’ because my mails end up exactly the same color as the skin on my hands.
Pajama Party by Clinique !
Essie: vanity fairest
Je le trouve aussi un peu trop rose (je l’utilise sur les ongles des pieds finalement). Le Mademoiselle, un de mes favoris. Un de mes….
En ce moment pour moi c’est Buy me a cameo d’Essie, sur moi c’est parfait mais ce n’est pas une couleur naturelle, rien à voir avec le sugar daddy.
Le “Dior Glow” qui rend nos ongles plus roses avec le blanc plus blanc. Super naturel, super beau et super pratique car pas besoin de base ou de top coat. De loin ma meilleure trouvaille beauté 2014 avec leur “lip
glow” justement :-)
Dior Nail Glow. Best brush, too.
I say “Spin the Bottle” by Essie, but my fav for a slightly darker nude is their “Case Study” which I have gotten lots of compliments on and at least five women have asked me what color it was and who made it. Use their “All in One” base coat and finish with “No Chips Ahead” top coat and I am good for two-three weeks. Can’t beat that!
I just found Chanel Ballerina. I think it’s spring 2014 … not sure. Fab though. Natrual, high gloss and dries in seconds.
Mademoiselle d’Essie ! C’est top !
I’ve been wearing nude pink all summer with oval shaped nails. OPI My Very First Knockwurst.
Discreet. Elegant. Goes with anything!

I use Essie Mademoiselle.
Ack – no polish…just chips off while I’m cooking! No polish…buffing, only buffing. Clean and shiny.
I love Dior Glow, it’s a light transparent pink that gives a little French manicure aspect. I couldn’t live without it.
Essie’s Mademoiselle for each and every manicure. It’s gotten to the point that MAYBE I should try something different.
Without a doubt, Essie’s Mademoiselle is my go to for barely there polish. I’m such a fan that I’ve started to gift it to my polish loving friends.
