Essie marshmallow #063

 (4 customer reviews)

Read the title. It's what I wanted in a white and what I got. If your nails are clean and long enough, just two coats will give you the faux french manicure effect (sounds bad, looks good).

It's an off white-ish color. Just what I was looking for. My only problem is that it goes on kinda streaky. I apply two coats and it evens out somewhat with the 2nd coat, but not enough. Maybe I'm applying the coats too thin. Maybe I need to add a little nail enamel thinner to my bottle. From a distance, it looks amazing and very flattering against my brown skin. Up close, there's room for improvement due to the streaks. I see that some people use this shade for a more natural looking French manicure. As of this writing, I've only used it for full-nail coverage. Other than that it stays on pretty well as do all of my other Essie polishes.

I use this for french manicures. It does the job. The polish dries fast and lasts at least a week before it needs to be taken off.
