    This and Essie's Fiji are my all time favourite nail colours. Two coats of Ballet Slippers will give you the most gorgeous, semi-sheer whiteish pink. I have been searching for a colour like this...

    I've been wanting to get this for so long :) I finally have and it's great. Just one coat makes it look like I have had a french manicure. How cool is that. Make sure to do just one coat though...

    I love this polish! I've been looking for a nude pink nail polish for a while and I'm glad I've found this one. I tried Essie Fiji but it's too pink and it made me look like I had zombie hands! Two...

    I agree with a lot of others reviewers, I am not getting all the hype around this polish. It didn't provide me the beautiful pale pink that I saw in the bottle. It's takes forever to dry, is clumpy...

    I don't like it. I was looking for an everyday pinkish polish and I though it would be perfect. The brush is tiny, the finish is very streaky, and on the second day it just looks plain and old....I...

    I really love the colour of this polish, but, the streaky application is so frustrating. Even if you get the application to look nice, it often is different opaqueness from one nail to another.

    I don't understand how Ballet Slippers became one of the flagship items with Essie. This is rated by the pros as one of the best??? This is the worst! It's application is horrible: the most...

    Used it once and just returned it today. It applies super streaky and the formula is kinda runny. The color is like a milky white on my nails.. not really flattering. Don't recommend it.

    Not the easiest polish to apply, needs a really light hand. Took 3 coats to get opaque and non-streaky, it levels out then, but takes really long to dry. If you can put up with that, the colour...

    This is my favourite natural, nude nail colour! It's hard to find sometimes because it seems to sell pretty well. Many of the other nude shades from Essie are too pink for my skin (I'm looking at...

    I own--and love--dozens of Essie polishes. Unfortunately, Ballet Slippers is not on the "love" list. It's way too sheer/watery to be opaque, yet too streaky to be worn as a sheer polish. I used...
