    I am very disappointed in Ballet Slippers. I first tried it at a nail salon for a pedi and I loved the way it showed on my tanned summer skin. It was a pearly pale, pale pinkish shade and I've had...

    OMG are you guys kidding me?!? This has been my favorite summer color for my hands for years! I love it I'm not sure if perhaps you were getting old bottles of it or what. Whenever I get it done...

    Bought this at Target because they ran out of Mademoiselle. It is terrible, I regret buying it. The formula is unusually thin, streaky, and watery. First coat is very sheer and takes quite a few...

    Good concept but comes out a little too pinky to be natural. I like Madmoiselle better, or my HG, the LE Allure Do.

    One of the absolute worst polishes I have tried. I couldn't get even one decent coat out of this - it streaked and looked like watery whitish-pink on. I have had such luck with Essie that this one...

    This was the first Essie polish I tried and it actually made me think Essie was crap for years and years - I refused to try any other Essie polishes because this stuff is so thin and streaky! I...

    I've bought this so many times I don't even know how many bottles I've gone through. A few years ago, this was my go-to color and I could barely persuade myself to use anything else. I guess I got...

    I love this color! It is a light pale pink that makes my nails look natural and clean. I actually like this one better than the Mademoiselle one. The mademoiselle color barely shows up on my nails...

    This is a very pretty milky pink color but it goes on verrry streaky and it's very sheer. You need several coats. I've used this several times and it was streaky every single time. I bought this...

    Horrible horrible streaky polish. No idea what was wrong with it, but the first experience scarred me so badly, I never wanted to touch this again. Luckily, I exchanged it in the Zoya Exchange. ...

    I love this Essie color. As some of the reviewers noted below, it can be a little streaky on the first two coats, but the 3rd coat finishes beautifully. For me, the color & durability payoff make...

    I LOVE this nail colour! I saw it on giada di laurentiis (a host on food network) and fell in love with it. I like that it's sort of opaque but that you can tell where the tips of my nails are....

    Ballet Slippers is one of my all time favorite pale pink shades. This color just looks very *clean* and sophisticated. I never have problems with streaking as long as I use OPI Ridge Filler as a...

    I get no streaking with this polish as other reviewers have suggested. This is usually my go to nail color for clean, sophisticated, work/day appropriate look (not too pink and not too white). I...

    Well, I really love this milky pink color of this nail polish. However, for some reason this is very streaky, which doesn't happen with my other Essie nail polishes. I wouldn't buy this again.

    If this was less streaky I would find it the perfect shade for when I desire an opaque look for my nails. Love the color (a milky pink white). Similar in color to OPI's Bubble Bath but that one is...
