      Not a fan of thick formula...

      4 months ago
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's that kind of nail polish that goes on messy. No matter how hard you try. It's kind of goopy thick but it only takes two coats to get completely opaque. The redeeming quality is that after you put it on your nails and the polish that got on your skin wears away, your nail looks pretty good then. It dries evenly and it dries fairly fast it's just not my preferred formula. It's the messy part that really bothers me. Maybe if you're really really really good and nail polish you might get it to work without making a mess but if you're not then you're just going to have to deal with that and getting it off your skin after you apply your polish.

      HI AmandaH, thank you for sharing such a detailed and honest review. We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the fast drying time and the great opaque coverage after just two coats! However, we’re truly sorry to hear that the formula felt a bit goopy and made for a messy application. This formula should glide on easily, it sounds like your bottle of color may not be up to our usual standards. However, your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we'll be sharing these comments with our product team to help us improve the experience for everyone.

      Why change did Essie change Sugar Daddy color?

      2 years ago
      I’m a professional manicurist for over 25 years and one of the polishes I use the most is the “original version” of Sugar Daddy. It’s been a main staple color in my kit because its sheer peachy pink looked amazing against all skin tones and great on camera for the commercial production shoots I work on. You can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I discovered a new Sugar Daddy color at my beauty supply. I thought it was a mistake in the dye lot so I went to other stores looking for the original. No luck. I decided to try this new version and it does not compare to the original. Please bring back the original Sugar Daddy color.

      Hello Ocurlygirl! We’re sorry to hear the color 'sugar daddy' is no longer the color you were expecting. This color should be a sweet pink with a sheer finish, perfect for french manicures. The production of our iconic shades has also advanced over the years – higher quality standards, pure color pigments, and new innovative ingredients allow for a better, more consistent product, but also can result in some color variation from the past.

      beautiful, sweet color!

      11 years ago
      I'm normally one to stick to the classic red, or dark maroon colors. I love a darker shade on my nails as I have fair skin and lighter colors can tend to wash out and not pop as much. But, this Spring I wanted something different so I thought I'd try out this color and I LOVED it! I bought a bottle for myself the very next day and wear it all of the time. It's a color that has some brightness and liveliness and still pops against my fair skin but isn't too in your face which is great! Perfect color for Spring and Summer...and for those days in Fall and Winter when you need a bright pick me up :) DEFINITELY try out this color for your next mani.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Love It!

      10 years ago
      I have 128 Essie's in my collection, and I've had this one for a while now. It has a slightly sheer formula but it is not hard to apply at all. In fact, the sheerness adds dimension to the polish. I think that 3 thin coats or 2 thick ones cover the nail completely, smoothly, evenly. It is a perfect polish for nail art because it could be sheer or opaque depending on how you layer it. However, I personally think it looks best on its own. This is definitely one of my favorites from Essie and one of my all-time favorite polishes. A nail artist (@pictureperfectpolishblog) on Instagram did some gorgeous nail art with it that I enclosed below.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Streak Free. It's really stream free

      7 years ago
      I bought this yesterday and gave myself a manicure last night. It is the sheerest, prettiest pink color. This is like my own natural nails only better. I've heard that before, but in this case it's true. I used 3 coats over a base coat and then used a top coat. My nails look healthy, groomed, and beautiful. It really is streak free and not too milky. Will I buy again? Yes. I am not the best at home manicures, but my nails look as good as if they were done in a salon. The polish dried fast and is streak free. Most nude polishes I've tried require 3 coats to hide the streaks, and then they look too milky/opaque. Sugar Daddy is a miracle in a bottle.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Good colour bad formula

      10 years ago
      The colour is a great dark red but you need a lot of coats to achieve that colour ( 4-6). Even after all the coats it's still uneven and you can see lighter parts and the dips of your nail. It chips VERY easily. It's is very expensive for the quality you get. If you get it on your skin ( which you will because the brush isn't very good) it stains you skin a reddish pink colour. It is one of the hardest polishes to use and to make look good but it is a nice colour. I don't think I'll be getting many more products from Essie. There are better nail polishes that are less expensive and last longer out there and will more worth your money.

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      My go to color

      10 years ago
      When it first came out I loved it so much that I bought 2 bottles. I left 1 with the manicurist so I always had it when I wanted it. She kept it hidden for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to find it for awhile so I was using up my supply. The manicurist asked her supplier and they did not have the color, never did. She was so disappointed. So many of her customers asked for it when they saw it on me. I eventually got her a bottle. She was so happy and so were her customers. I wear this color all year round. It goes with everything. Best color ever. Please do not discontinue. If you are planning to let me know I'll buy a whole bunch.

      Yes, I recommend this product.
