I HATE this polish. So much so that I made a makeup alley account specifically to write this review and warn others. The thing is yes this is a sheer polish. I have no problem with that. I bought...

I wonder what the 1-star reviewers were thinking when they bought a self-described SHEER polish and discovered that it is, in fact, sheer?
Yes, this is a nearly-sheer, translucent, pale pink...

I was looking for an elegant princess-like nail polish to enhance my new diamond ring and make my short hands and chubby fingers look slimmer. I solved the problem with Essie ballet slippers. Yes...

Never ever understood the hype behind this colour, Essie polishes are great quality, they have a wide brush making application a dream but ballet slippers, wow, it may as well be a clear polish....

For blondes, this is perfect, I love two - three coats. Very flattering on all skin tones. Neutral enough to be very classy and elegant, it's not too pink or too white. Just great.

2. Apply two coats to one hand...

I honestly bought Ballet Slippers because of the hype but didn't use it for a long time after reading the reviews, I was sure I was gonna hate the formula.
Well, actually it's surprisingly not...
