Ballet Slippers okay

Nice color, glides nicely, but 2 coats make it streaky so I tried 3 coats and still streaky, even applied base coat. Not happy with results.

Horrible

Does not cover well and streaks - love Essie nail polish and use it all the time - this is no where in comparison to their regular polish

Weird formulation. Not normal.

Like the color. Just arrived today. I did think it would be a bit more pink though. However, totally clumpy and went on terrible and streaky. I took it all off and put on my other new bottle - spring fling which was perfect and a completely different texture. Went on beautifully. Did I get bad product or is it this color that is a problem?

No longer sheer, looks terrible

This used to be my favorite shade but it's not sheer any more. Even just one coat is streaky and weird. I thought it was the way I had applied it but I brought it to my manicurist and the same thing happened. Very disappointed.

Hello jwNYC. Thank you for sharing your experience with the color Ballet Slippers. This color should be a classic pale pink with a subtle, sheer finish.

Awful

Most watery nail polish I have ever used. I understand the "sheer finish" but this polish is literally like water. It is so thin it doesn't even paint on and it pools/runs off of my nails. I'd really love a refund on this one.

Hello Daniegirl., thank you for sharing your experience with the color 'ballet slippers'. There is something very wrong with the bottle you purchased and we would love to learn more. Every essie nail enamel should flow on easily and by the second coat your color should be perfect!

Nice

You have to shake the bottle before using so it won’t go on streaky After that, it is perfect! One coat for a French manicure look

Never dries, clumpy

Streaky and thick. It clumps up when you try to even it out. Will not go on evenly at all and never fully dries down no matter how thin the coat is.

Hello Peanuts123 ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this bottle of the color 'ballet slippers'. Nothing about the results you describe for this classic pale pink with a subtle, sheer finish sounds right. The polish should flow easily onto the nail and by the second coat your results should be perfect.
