    As streaky as this polish is, I don't find it anymore streaky thank other pale polishes. You definitely need to work with it and perfect a technique with it. I find a thin base coat of white polish...

    This is truly a gorgeous color after a few coats are applied, but unfortunately the color doesn't quite make up for the less-than-stellar qualities of the polish. Ballet Slippers applies very...

    This is such an amazing nail polish! Essie's Ballet Slippers is a very gorgeous milky pink that's very opaque and not streaky for me. First, I apply OPI Start to Finish as a base coat, then I apply...

    I would never but it again, it's so streaky! I think I'd have to put a white base for the color to look good. I love Essie, just not this one.

    I really love this color when I have time to go to the salon. At home, however, I can never get this color to go on evenly. The formula is smooth, but super streaky. It's such a shame because I...

    Okay yeah, nice color and all, but whatever. There are so many dupes out there for this kind of color, so why use essie!? I just don't understand. Yes, the streaking can be fixed eventually , but...

    On my second bottle of this color. I love it so much that I will continue to buy it, even though it is pretty streaky. Usually 3 coats is perfect for me...just takes a lot of time to apply. But...

    When I first tried this shade I hated the streaky mess it became on my nails, but with a little experimentation and practice I can now apply it so it's streak free. This is what I do: I apply...

    Simple, but pretty/clean-looking. Definitely gives you a polished look. Application can be a little bit tricky, but I think I will still repurchase. As always, Essie has cute packaging, and...

    I don't understand all of the negative reviews for this polish. Yes, the first coat goes on a bit streaky, but applying a second coat eliminates that problem all together. The color (after 2...

    I agree with another reviewer, it is meant to be sheer and not opaque. I do one thick coat (the brush loaded and a first swipe along the base of the nail) and then Essie's No chips ahead top...

    Very average nude nail shade. It's a nice whiteish pink but if I do more than one coat it looks hideous, very streaky. Staying power not great either, it chips after a couple of days. Not impressed.
