    I think it's harder to find a pale polish that has an amazing consistency. This one is a bit streaky on the first coat...but how many people really ever put 1 coat on of nail polish even if it is...

    Ballet Slippers is a pale, milky sheer pink. The polish isn't really meant to be opaque, but I applied three coats to better cover the discoloration of my tips (they are currently stained...

    I can't believe all the negative reviews. Yes, the first coat is streaky but with two its the most perfect pale pink. Its been my go-to french manicure for like 10 years. Never had it done without...

    This is a very flattering color for work. It looks like a slightly more polished version of your bare nails. The next time I use this, it will be over the OPI Ridge filler though as I can see all...

    I had read SO many good things about this nail polish that when I stopped biting my nails, I decided it would be the first one I'd try while they were growing out. I was so excited to get home and...

    Should have paid attention to other reviews of this product. I did do a quick swipe in drugstore and liked the sheerness and how shiny it was. After a base coat of Seche Base ridge filling base,...

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this product. I got it as a free gift from Ulta and I already have so many nude pinks that I thought - oh just another pink nail polish. But, I really was...

    THIS is the most gorgeous color! It is a very gorg pinky nude. I give it only a 4 because of the application. I had a tiny trouble with streakiness. I put a thick coat on and let dry and and then a...

    I don't know why this color won the awards or is raved about a lot. Maybe its just me but the formula is EXTREMELY streaky. I need about 4 coats to get a opaque color that doesn't streak. It's hard...

    Pros: prettiest color ever in the bottle. Cons: Everything else? Very difficult to apply. I've tried multiple times and always end up removing it right away. I don't really like Essie's brush as...

    Pratice makes perfect. That is the case with this nail polish. i never had so much trouble putting nail polish. Maybe because it's sheer so i always messed up. You have to put two coats because...

    This polish is hard to apply and comes out very streaky. I wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing but I would have probably thought that my years of experience applying polish could overcome...

    I'm in love with this polish. I tried Essie FIji, munchi munchi, madomosielle and others that I can't remember. THIS is the most gorgeous color! I give it only a 4 because of the application. I had...

    I love the color, just not this polish! It's streaky even after three coats, hard to apply with this little tiny brush and it take soooooooooo long to dry that in ding it up every time. I have...

    The color itself is gorgeous, but the formula is really bad. It's very streaky, and the brush is too small for my liking. I will not buy it again.

    As the store was out of Sugar Daddy, I decided to give Ballet Slippers a try. Bad decision on my part. Ballet Slippers streaks like crazy. I don't know about you, but if I'm going with a neutral...

    TO THE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN OF STREAKINESS: I found that for the color to be even, I had to glop it on thick. Like, if you think you have too much on your brush, that's what you need to paint on...
