Essie Geranium is clearly the most orange from all of these shades. Lacquered up is a red with a bit of orange. While Russian roulette also contains a tiny bit of orange, it is slightly cooler toned and darker than Lacquered up, but the difference is really subtle. Essie Not Red-y for Bed is very cool-toned and contains the most pink. Comparison of Essie Russian roulette vs Essie Really red vs Essie Aperitif vs Essie Forever yummy Next, apply the first coat of your selected Essie polish in three swipes starting at the center near the cuticle and filling in the sides.
Essie calls Geranium an orange-red. In terms of orangeness, it sits between Fifth avenue and Handmade with love, but it leans more towards Fifth avenue. I would argue that if you own either Fifth avenue or Geranium, you probably won’t need the other, unless you’re really into red-oranges. Geranium’s formula is truly amazing. It’s already opaque in one coat if you’re painting carefully (but of course I did two for the pictures).One general rule about applying nail polish is to apply a coat and wait for it to dry before putting on the next one. A dry coat is easier to paint over and has no risk of getting smudged. Nevertheless, you can put on up to three layers of polish to achieve that creamy pink hue if you like manicures with more coverage. That single anecdote has maintained the outstanding reputation of ballet slippers 30 years down the line. Even today, this nail varnish is described as “The Queen’s favorite nail polish.’ Essie Mademoiselle There was no difference in the color or shimmer of the nail polish. However, I noticed that #096 is a little harder to find online and in local drugstores. So, considering that Essie regularly tweaks its product formulas, #096 could be an older version of ballet slippers.
If you put fresh nail polish over a semi-dry coat, the brush will lift some color off the nail. As a result, there will be brush marks on the coat, or the manicure will wrinkle straight up. The brush position during application. Both colors look almost transparent with one coat. So, if you stop there, your mani will look like you just applied a top coat over bare nails. However, looking closely, you will notice that Essie ballet slippers is slightly more visible than Mademoiselle. The only way to fill the ridges is to start all your manicures with a smoothing base coat before applying the polish. Using Incompatible ProductsI was able to find out that the following red cremes are part of Essie’s core collection (without counting the Gel couture and Expressie shades): With the holiday season around the corner, I always feel attracted to red nail polish. There were 11 Essie red cremes in my drugstore’s Essie display, and then I’m not even counting the reds in the Gel couture and Expressie displays! I decided that it was time to do the ultimate Essie red creme comparison. At home, I was able to find out that there are even more red cremes in Essie’s core collection! The core collection differs a bit between North America and Europe, but they are mostly the same. It also differs a bit between stores.
Always pair Essie colors with Essie base coats and top coats to be safe. How to Apply Essie Nail Polish Without Streaks Essie ballet slippers may have everything good going for it, but it streaks more than Mademoiselle. I love the nude pink but always struggle to perfect each coat without leaving brush marks.
Essie ballet slippers and Mademoiselle are beautiful nude pink nail polishes designed with a sheer finish. However, ballet slippers is a slightly paler pink that appears almost white in three coats.
This shade is probably very difficult to find in the US, however, in Europe, it should be easy. Essie Nailed it Essie Nailed it Let the first coat dry for about 2 minutes, and then apply a thin second layer to level out the streaks from the first coat. If you like the color, stop at two coats or build up opacity with a third layer. Out of the ‘brighter’ shades of this comparison, Geranium is probably my favorite! If you’re looking for a summery red, this would definitely be my recommendation! Essie Fifth Avenue Essie Fifth avenue However, Essie ballet slippers have a paler pink color than Essie Mademoiselle’s. Moreover, it looks more opaque than sheer at three coats. Note:The bottle cap on #162 has a lowercase “e” on top, while that of #096 is plain. You can use this little distinction to tell the two products apart if you lose a label.

Essie Geranium belonged to the first 130 Essie colors ever produced, and is still part of the permanent collection in the US. To me, that says everything you need to know about this shade! It’s a true classic that will look great on (almost everyone). Sadly, it got discontinued in Europe, but it was shortly available as part of Essie’s Advent calendar for 2022. Mademoiselle #112 is pink and similar in color to Essie ballet slippers. On the other hand, #384 is also pink but has a slight beige undertone that makes it warmer. Nevertheless, the beige tones are not overwhelming; and the shade maintains its pink allure. What is the Difference Between Essie Ballet Slippers and Mademoiselle? Start with one coat of Essie’s Smooth-e base coat to prepare the nails. I recommend starting with Smooth-e because it was designed to fill in bumps and other uneven surfaces on the nails. However, you can also use any other Essie base coat; the results will be great. Essie Mademoiselle is the best choice if you want a true sheer pink. It is beautifully sheer at one coat and remains completely see-through even if you add a second and third layer. The Essie brand has hundreds of nail polish shades in its collection, some of which look incredibly similar. Their sheer pink neutrals, for instance, are quite challenging to tell apart whether you look at them through the bottle or applied on the nails.
