Nail Polish

Really big on painting my own nails since nail salons are sooo expensive. I’ve had this color for about a year now and it’s still just as vibrant and so much left. In my opinion just as good of a nail polish as OPI. Not streaky at all and ease of application is great. Not too shear either

My favorite nail polish color and brand. Essie brand is more durable on my nails than most brands and goes on smoothly. It does not get thick in the bottle. Ballet Slippers is a lovely neutral pale pink with some tones of white. In one or two thin coats it looks very natural and smooths out the color and texture of my nails. With more coats it looks more opaque; very nice either way. It looks good with everything without being flashy. Ballet Slippers was also the only nail polish Queen Elizabeth II used for decades. That's what first brought it to my attention. I love this nail polish.

This has always been my classic go to nail polish. Perfect for a professional atmospheres or showing off your ring. It’s very classy. The only thing is you definitely need two or three coats or it’s very streaky looking. After many years of wearing gel or acrylic on my nails, I am able to have a more classic look with this nail polish.

I'm actually getting a little tired of giving reviews of this polish but here goes. The BEST. Honestly the best. Not only adore the color and know darn well it will soon be gone like all my faves but one swipe literally fills my quite small nails. Dries almost instantly. Essie is the BEST. Love it a lot.

pretty good! it lasts about a week before chipping and the color is cute but very subtle i like it!

Easy to apply; long lasting pretty color.

The color is perfect and goes on smoothly. I will order again.

I read reviews that thought this was a knock off of the real Essie product. I have to say, this is by far my favorite sheer pink, but I currently have this and two other bottles of the Sugar Daddy color and I think that the color must change over time or else each production lot has the potential to be wildly different from the last. I am positive I purchased one bottle from the salon, one from a grocery store and this one from Amazon. This is the only bottle that has the right amount of pink in it at the moment. The salon bottle is probably 8 years old, the grocery store about a year and I just got this a couple of months ago. The two older, open bottles are now a beige like pink, but the second I put this one on, I am positive this is the correct color when new. I think the pink tint is sensitive to oxidation and once opened that's what happens to it. I read many reviews about the product being streaky and I think that's honestly just what the Essie sheer colors are like. I always try to make sure I have gotten the right coverage in a single coat if going for total sheer and otherwise have to use three coats for an opaque pink that isn't streaked. The salon can do it perfectly with two coats but I haven't figured out how at home. The Essie sheer colors are absolutely meant to be slightly different than clear though, they may well not be the best choice for opaque pinks. I think this is a real Essie color and product. The price certainly isn't any different and the quality is the same to me.
