    If you're looking for bottle color or a milky nude, you might want to skip this unless you're really good with moderately streaky polishes. It's not as bad as Essie Marshmallow (a nightmare to try...

    This is by far my favorite opaque nude white. I try other colors but always come back to this. It looks nothing like the picture of the bottle on this website.

    This is the sheer staple polish I reach for every week; just simple, flattering, and lovely. I own Essie's Ballet Slippers too but Ballet Slippers is a tough formula and I just don't want to...

    Disappointing in several aspects. First, it is streaky. I applied 2 coats (over a base) and the coverage was uneven. Perhaps more coats could help, but then the color would be more opaque which is...

    This is described as a pink/nude sheer, but I don't see any pink in this really. This leans much more peachy pink. It's very subtle but it doesn't look pink or peach. I wanted to love this and...

    Although like most similar shades of polish, this particular polish runs streaky I absolutely love it. It lasts a few days without chipping, but I do find that layering too much with this one...

    I tried to love this color. I really did but...This is the streakiest polish I've used in a long time and I used 4 coats trying to get semi-opaque color. It's such a bad product and it cost nearly...

    Adore-a-Ball is one of Essie's many sheer pale pinks. Like others polishes of this color, it runs a little streaky, but it's not very noticeable to others. It's a very cute color, and I'm glad I...

    This is my HG nail polish for hands. It is the perfect clean and bright milky nude/pink color . If you want a natural but still pretty color, this is it. its not too sheer either. I have medium tan...

    Wow. I just love it so much! I did find it streaky on a second coat but I prefer only one coat anyway so that wasn't a problem. It's the most beautiful sheer, pinky-nude color that makes my nails...

    The perfect pale pink, less sheer than many pale pinks. No mauve undertones, just a pretty pink. Always appropriate, goes with everything. The first coat can be a little streaky, but the streaks...

    I love soft/sheers, but like most of them Adore-A-Ball is prone to a bit of streaking. Not too bad, about average. I can work with it and the color is very pretty. Its milky sheer with a cool lilac...

    Colour is perfect... very elegant. It IS streaky/hard to put on. In the salon, they do it just right, but I like to do my own nails most of the time, and I can never get it just right. Still, I...

    I recently changed jobs and at my new workplace anything beyond a french manicure is frowned upon, so I sadly had to ditch my beloved reds and deep pinks. I'm pale with cool undertones, and this...

    This is my go-to polish! So pretty and professional. The application can be a bit tricky, as it is a bit streaky. IMO, it's worth it.

    Like others have said this nail polish is very streaky. The colour is quite sheer too. With that being said if you want a very natural look and don't care about streaks this polish would be okay...

    On it's own this is just blah and it does streak. However, I will continue to purchase it because a layer of Allure with Adore-A-Ball over it delivers the most flattering pale colour. In the...
