Dior Nail Glow

The luxury original: Dior Nail Glow, $34

What matches: Same look on bare nails: a sheer pink with a glossy finish that makes the nail look healthy and groomed, and the alternative both Who What Wear and A Beauty Edit name for Nail Glow.

What it does worse: It is a strengthening treatment first, so the tint is very subtle, two coats for a rosy pink, and essie makes no claim to whiten the tips.
