Hi Cris4, we’re sorry to hear this barely there pink does not look the way you remember! The production of our iconic shades has 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. Be assured, your comments will be shared with Essie and her creative team!

Right balance of sheer and opaque

Color is perfect! Essie has saturated their pink polishes with sheers which aren't good. Minimalistic is just the right combo of sheer and opaque and I love it.

Bright pink

There is nothing minimal about this shade. It's a BRIGHT, milky, pink. It does not look like these photos. Since it can't be returned, I have to put another shade over it.

This shade has changed since it launched.

When it launched, minimalistic was the palest opaque pink -- so pale, it was almost white. It was a dream, and the name made sense. Now, it's bubble gum cotton candy Barbie pink, which is fine but a totally different vibe. Don't buy this one if you're doing it because you saw a milky pink on Instagram or somewhere else on social media. Those posts aren't the same version of minimalistic that's available now. That said, if you want loud pink, this is your jam.

Hello SydWithTooManyPolishes . there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the minimalistic '. We're sorry to hear the color is not how you remember it. This color should be a barely there pink nail color (sheer) For a very pale sheer pink, try the color ‘mademoiselle’.

Favorite Pink

I’ve tried on so many pinks - sugar daddy too sheer, sugar daddy too white. Fiji is loud compared to minimalistic. I don’t wear anything else since purchasing this color. Absolutely lobe!,,

Disappointed

I was disappointed with how many coats (3+) it took for an opaque look, only to have it literally slide off in the shower. It turns out this polish never fully dries. I love essie, but would not recommend minimalistic.

Hello LeahM. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This super pale pink has a cream finish and after the second coat, your color should be perfect. A full manicure with base coat, 2 coats of color and top coat should not take more than 15 minutes to full dry.

Changed the shade?!?

I'm almost out my original minimalistic 308 so I bought a new one today. To my horror, it's not the same shade! Please advise what current color is a match to my old minimalistic 308; thanks!

Hello Finfansand13! We can imagine how frustrating that would be…The shade "minimalistic" should be a light-filled, barely there pink nail color. Peak show" is a similar color.

Hi there Sarah! The color ”minimalistic” is a pale, pink sheer nail polish. Your color looks perfect in the picture, however, by the second coat, all of our nail colors should look perfect. And a full manicure with base coat, 2 coats of color and a top coat should take about 15 minutes to dry.
