Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

I work in a role where my nails are on display and I get a lot of comments on them, so I keep them in good shape (I give myself a manicure at least twice a week!). Every time I wear OPI Beyond The Pale Pink, I get multiple compliments. It is a 3 coat color, but the result is a less-stark, pink tinted white.

Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

@Reva     Essie has a really excellent selection of whites.  I prefer off white.  Marshmellow comes to mine as far as a name but do a Google for off white nail polish by Essie.  My nail salon carries Essie.  And they have so many whites and light pinks.  First salon that I have been to that carries Essie.  I love it!  good luck.  Cat Very Happy

Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

@Reva   I do own the Marshmellow polish and it looks differently depending on how many coats and how much polish is on your brush.  I do 2 coats and creamy but still a little sheer which I like.

Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

Right now, I'm loving the pics posted of  Essie Marshmallow and Babies Breath.  I know applying extra coats makes a big difference.  I also picked up a gel topcoat that will help prolong my polish.

I really like @Ikat Essie Lace Me Up, I'm not familiar with that shade.

I love the look of a beautifully done creamy white manicure, but I can't seem to avoid the streakiness Smiley Sad

Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

I found that out with the cream/white polishes but  I've noticed that as long as you apply 2-3 coats of polish it levels itself out for the most part.  I just used Seche Vive gel effect top coat over a new Essie polish I bought today and I love the look!!

Re: Creamy White Nail Polish

I have tried many different types of polish in the white/off white category.  I've been doing my own nails since high school and I'm now in my 60s; for the lift of me cannot seem to get the application right.  I end up with streaks and uneven coats every single time.  I've given up on this concept.
