    I finally invested in this classic color. It looks like a white w/ just a hint of pink in the bottle but on my nails it looks a little more pink. I found at first that it was streaky, but now I'm...

    Not at all pleased with this nail polish! It bubbles up on your nails after it dries! No I did not shake the bottle, as I know this causes bubbles. It also stinks after it dries, I applied in the...

    This is one of my favorite pale pinks. I alternate between Ballet Slippers and another Essie pale pink. It can be a little streaky, but I manage to get a nice manicure with 2 coats. This color is a...

    UGH. Normally I am an Essie collector but I despise this polish. It is the streakiest nail polish I have ever owned and it is impossible to apply. You might as well pour the bottle over each nail...

    I love this color. I got it in a pack of two, Ballet Slippers and Waltz. I like Ballet Slippers far more. It is a very cute, almost transparent, pink. I layer it on 2-3 times for my perfect shade....

    I used to be devoted to OPI Bubble Bath but they changed the color so I started using Ballet Slippers because it was a perfect match for the old Bubble Bath (even though OPI's formula and brush are...

    I generally favor shades of red, but a light pink nail polish is a staple. It usually takes about 3 coats to get the desired color, doing any less can result in streaking and uneven color. I would...

    This is a very, very sheer color. If you know that going in, you will be 100% satisfied. I used to use it all the time when I wasn't as good at painting my nails as it is VERY forgiving of...

    I do agree that this colour is a little streaky if your not careful in how you apply it. I love using it when I get pedicures and manicures because they apply polishes wonderfully at the salon....

    This is my go to nail polish. It is a beautiful, elegant colour. My only complaint is the brush. I really wish Essie would use the same brushes as OPI.

    This has been my go-to polish for years!!! I can always depend on this color to give me that classic, chic, and well manicured look! Lastly, I've NEVER had an issue with it going on streaky.

    I love this color. Creamy almost white but with just a little hint of pink. It's painstaking to apply-- I want it really opaque and somehow, with lighter colors it's hard to make it a neat...
