9 iconic Essie nail polish colors everyone agrees on

· · 1 min read
Think of the nail polish shades you know by name — the ones you sift through shelves lined with tiny glass bottles to find every time you're at Ulta. Chances are, they all come in square-shaped containers with a white 'Essie' label on the side — and the next person will be hunting for the exact same color three minutes after you walk out to your car. Essie is one of those nail polish brands with many iconic shades, like Ballet Slippers (which is a favorite of royalty and Hollywood alike). And while you can probably guess a few of the brand's 10 best-selling shades, there are some unexpected hues on the list that don't fall into the neutral category that Essie has become famous for. Click through to find the Essie nail polish shades everyone in the world digs for — and see if you agree. Who knows, maybe you'll replace your tried-and-true Essie shade for something new. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

9 Iconic Essie Nail Polish Colors Everyone Agrees On

9 Iconic Essie Nail Polish Colors Everyone Agrees On
#9 Muchi, Muchi
More opaque than Sugar Daddy, Muchi Muchi is a true pastel pink, delivering that bright-but-not-too-scream-y manicure, perfect for Valentine's Day.

Essie Muchi, Muchi, $, available at Ulta
#8 Mrs. Always-Right
Essie describes Mrs. Always-Right as a terracotta rose, which sounds just as gorgeous as it looks on a mani-pedi.

#7 Sugar Daddy
Despite looking Pepto Bismol pink in the bottle, Sugar Daddy is super-sheer, almost like a clear gloss with a hint of something more.

#6 Bikini So Teeny
Nudes are well and good, but we all need a pastel polish in our collection. Essie's Bikini So Teeny — the quintessential robin's-egg blue shade — sounds fit for a beach mani, but we're wearing it beyond summer, too.

#5 Lady Like
For a natural flush of pink color — just in case Target's fresh out of Ballet Slippers and Mademoiselle — pick up Lady Like, which has top-five status.

#4 Blanc
If you're looking for a multipurpose polish — one you can use for a full-coverage, fresh white pedicure and dotted nail art — Essie's Blanc is a foolproof pick. Professional nail artist Michelle Saunders tells us that she even likes to use it to give her color polish a little more pop. "You can apply a color polish over a coat of Blanc, and it almost looks neon," she says.

#3 Eternal Optimist
Eternal Optimist falls somewhere between pink and beige, and some consider it the perfect nude for medium skin tones.

#2 Mademoiselle
The runner-up to Ballet Slippers is a very similar — but slightly cooler — blush tone in the shade Mademoiselle. It suits everyone and looks equally chic on fingers as it does on toes.

Essie Mademoiselle, $, available at Ulta
#1 Ballet Slippers
Oh, Ballet Slippers. Is anyone surprised that the tasteful, barely-there pink is the brand's best seller? We can assure you that Mandy Moore and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are not.
