    I heard such great things about Ballet Slippers. While the color is nice, it just doesn't go on well. If I do one coat, it's very very streaky. If I do two coats, it's like i painted my nails with...

    I think that it looks great on other...but when I have it on my own nails, I think it looks really white? hmm...goes on kind of streaky, but overall, it's not too bad.

    This is my second favorite out of all Essie's pale pink/white neutral type of colors. I prefer East Hampton Cottage, but this is the one I choose when I'm in a salon where that one isn't available....

    Over the years I've seen this coveted in various magazines, e.g. as a winner in "best of" polls, etc. I'm not sure why. This stuff only looks good when it's brand new. Even then it has the...

    Love the color in the bottle and adore the name ... too bad I can't get this to apply without streaks. Too tempermental a color for my money and skill level.

    this colour is the chic-est barely pink creme and I've given it two lippies for that - it looks lovely on my pale skin. HOWEVER it is near impossible to apply evenly so unless you have great...

    This nail polish color is toooooo white. Think the-lightest-pink-ever. So it doesn't work for all skin tones, especially not pale skin. It also made my nails look streaky no matter how well I...

    Great neutral polish. My fave in fact. It's a nice, slightly pinkish neutral color, so nails still look somewhat polished but still natural. I have yellow-ish nails, and the white part is never...

    Essie's Ballet Slippers is another one of the pink/pale/sheers Essie loves so well. Ballet Slippers is a very pale, milky light pink that is sheerish with one coat, on its way to opaque with the...

    This was my first Essie nail polish and I have to say applying Ballet Slippers was a horrid experience. It went on streaky, uneven, and the color was disgustingly milky white on my nails, like...

    This is the perfect color pink. Not to dark, not to light. It is the only brand of polish that stays on my nails for longer than a few days.

    This colour is a bit tricky- sometimes, it's so white that I feel as though I've dipped my fingertips in Wite-Out, other times, it's beautiful. I find that it always looks better when it is...

    Every year or so I decide to try this color again when I get a manicure, and every time I am reminded why I don't like it. It's just too damn white for me. I have super pale skin, and this just...
