    I was looking for the perfect natural coloured nail polish, that also dried quickly and wasn't too pricey. Ballet Slippers is my all time favourite natural polish! It looks fantastic with a tan and...

    I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews. Ballet Slippers is hands down my favorite Essie nude (I also have Mademoiselle, which I've reviewed, and Adore-A-Ball). It's an opaque, pink creme...

    APPLICATION: It goes on a bit streaky, but all you really need is a few coats. COLOR: The color is so beautiful! It's not nude and not pink, it's the perfect in between. It can be worn alone,...

    It's a bit streaky and I had to do 3 coats but it's still pretty and most importantly dried evenly. The color is a pinkish white. Will use again.

    I was looking for a your-nails-but-better-and-shinier and i came across this Essie polish. The price in Denmark is around 13 euros (10 dkk) which is quite a bit for just a nude nailpolish. Do i...

    I love this color so much! Essie has the prettiest, girliest colors and Ballet Slippers is my favorite. It's super sweet and feminine, I usually will put two to three coats on to make sure the...

    I think the color looks all right on my skin tone...in some lighting it doesn't look the most flattering. In general it gives my hands a nice tanned and clean look. . I would describe the color...

    I normally love Essie polishes and I usually love sheerer pinks. I was a big fan of Mademoiselle so I though I will try something else. The consistency is TRAGIC. Runny and so streaky, there is...

    Ballet Slippers is a very pretty light pink feminine color, but a PAIN to apply without a streaky mess. I have yet to apply it to my satisfaction and frankly, I have given up.

    I like this. It is streaky with one coat but once you add another coat it's fine. Very subtle, pretty color.

    This is streakiest nail polish I have ever used. The application is terrible. In order to reach the desired opacity, I apply three thin coats, letting them dry at least two minutes between coats....

    Love the color. It is streaky, but a second coat fixes that issue. The only complaint I have is that I had to apply 4 coats for an opaque color. Not a problem for me, but it did take a bit of time...

    I was very disappointed with this polish. Admittedly, I was applying it quickly and somewhat sloppily, but I did take the time to use an Essie basecoat and topcoat. My issue was that it is a...

    Man, I've never been so angry at a nail polish. Bottom line: It's beautiful once you have it on but a nightmare to work with. Insanely shiny, a really lovely pale pink on my ruddy yellow-undertoned...
