I regularly paint my nails various shades of nail polish. I love a range of colors, from dark and vampy colors to soft neutral pinks. The reason that I don’t wear a lot of dark colors on my fingernails is that that they chip fast, no matter what I use. I hate seeing chips. So, I use those colors on my toes. Some of my favorites include OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, a purple, reddish, almost black color, and China Glaze Ruby Pumps, a glittery red. For my fingernails, I wear Essie Sugar Daddy, a sheer pink, most of the time. It is the very best neutral nail polish that I’ve ever used.

Essie Sugar Daddy was actually voted the best neutral nail polish of 2011 by InStyle magazine. It’s a delicate pink but not an opaque polish. It is quite sheer and your natural nails will show through a bit. That is what makes it unique. It will not make your nails look overtly pink. Rather it enhances your nail color with that sheer blush of baby pink.

For me, this is an ideal nail polish as I can swipe it on easily and it lasts for days. The best part is that unless you are closely examining my fingernails, you can’t see the chips. For busy ladies on the go, it is perfect as you can slap on two coats of Essie Sugar Daddy and have manicured nails without having to worry about them.

I’ve gone through two bottles of Essie Sugar Daddy in the past 8 months or so. I love having nice looking fingernails and toenails. I don’t love the time that it takes to get them. Thus, Essie Sugar Daddy will be a staple for many years to come!
