Let me start by saying this is not a color for novices! I've rediscovered my love for this color. I owned a bottle a few years back and repurchased it again recently for my bff's wedding. It is the...

This is a very nice pale pink (without peachy tint), but if you have ridges, it looks a bit streaky... compared to ZOYA Sari & Loretta (which do not streak even if I have slight ridges) it is...

The majority of pale, milky, pink polishes are warm toned, this one is definitely cool & that is why I bought it despite being aware of the low rating. This might well be the worst nail polish I...

I love this color!!! I have been trying to do a white manicure on my nails for two years. Each time I did it, my nails looked weird. Then I tried this gem. It's perfect! It's not too white, and not...

I love this nail polish!!! It's a beautiful colour that goes with every outfit. I love that the Queen wears it too :-) as for the streaking...I found that if you are very light and gentle when...

I liked this color, endorsed by the Queen of England, when applied by a manicurist but was disappointed when I bought it to apply myself. One coat streaks, and two or more coats are thick, lumpy,...

I bought this because it's a cult classic and I wanted something sublte for my toes. It becomes opaque as you build it, so it can look streaky with 1 or 2 coats. With 3 coats it looks perfect. ...

I've heard mixed things about this nail polish and was excited to try it out. The colour is beautiful, very classic and pretty (I used three thin coats and it was a true opaque nude) and lasts...

I've not had chance to road test this yet - my nails are still drying... Yes this is a 3 coater - with base and top that's 5 coats - so don't plan doing anything like work for at least 2 hours...

I absolutely wanted to love this , I am a big fan of pretty neutral pale nail colours. With this one, I love the pinky white colour but it takes a good 3 coats to build a decent colour. The big...

This, like all of Essie's other lighter shades, began "turning" a few weeks after I got it. No matter where I purchase from, how well I store them, colors like Ballet Slippers, Mademoiselle, Sugar...

I think I finally found a nude color that looks good on me. This is a nude/pink color and I am NW20. It's very sheer and I had to use 3 coats to get a decent opaque color. I like it though...

Streaky and has gone thick and chewy. Not had it very long and aways kept in a cool dry place. Mavala do a range of colours and its cheaper. I had a bottle of OPI for four years that never went...

I love the soft colour, but this shade is sooo streaky, looks like watered down pinkish milk or something on my nails. Difficult to get smooth, even colour. You need about 3-4 coats to make it look...

I generally love Essie polishes and I'm in love with this colour but this particular polish is terrible. It takes way too long to dry even with a fast drying top coat. It's very sheer and streaky...

Meh. This is okay but I expected it to be less watery & therefore less streaky. I like WnW's 2% Milk or WnW Sugar Coat better for nude nails. I bought SH Insta-Dry in Sheer Petals to try but I...

The first time I tried this nail polish, I though it was kinda terrible. It was really streaky, and seemed way too pale for my skin color (I'm Asian with yellow undertones). However, I gave it...

I feel I'm in the minority here but this polish just doesn't do it for me. That milky pink colour doesn't look good. It is a streaky nail polish and I've tried to use this many times. Wouldn't...

Ballet Slippers is the most gorgeous soft pink shade. It is truly the color of a pair ballet slippers. It dries quickly and looks great when polished in three thin coats. It's one of my favorite...

I love this polish. I know it takes a few coats to get the streaks to go away, but if you are patient, you will get a great looking neutral shade. If you are looking for a quick mani, this probably...
