Overview

Not an opaque bright white, essie Waltz is a sheer, elegant white that gives nails a soft, polished look. It suits French manicures and leaves out formaldehyde, DBP and toluene.

A sheer white is easy to apply evenly and reads clean and elegant. Beyond the shade and the free-from list, the listing offers no detail on finish, wear or dry time.

Who it's for

Weddings, office wear and French tips suit a sheer white. Those wanting stark, full-coverage white should look for an opaque shade.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sheer, elegant white
  • Works for French manicures
  • Free of formaldehyde, DBP, toluene
Cons
  • Sheer, not opaque
  • Very few details listed

Performance notes

A sheer white builds slowly, so one coat gives a milky tint and more coats increase whiteness. Thin, even layers avoid streaking, which is the main risk with sheer polish.
