    Yes, as others have said, this does streak and it is translucent. But it is as close as I have found to an exact replacement for OPI's original Passion. Perfect pale warm pink. OPI replaced...

    A pretty neutral for my skin tone (I am Scottish and Mexican, so I am pale but a little olive-y, and when I tan, it's more brown than the "golden" tan that blondes tend towards.) This is not too...

    This color was too sheer for me with 2 coats and looked streaky and almost translucent. After 3 coats it looks opaque light pink and took a long time to dry. Like other reviewers, this polish is...

    When I went to buy this nail polish, I was originally hunting for a specific colour but when I couldn't find it, I thought that Prima Ballerina looked nice enough. The beauty with Essie nail...

    I love the color of this polish...a nudey/pinkey-beige However, it took FOREVER to dry and so many coats to make it opaque. I would take "blobs" of nailpolish on the brush and dot it on the...

    I am not usually a fan of sheer colors, but Prima Ballerina changed my mind! I'm an NW20 and this color looks really nice against my yellow undertones. I agree with the other reviewers that the...

    Love this sheer light pink when I am looking for a very neutral shade, I don't have many neutral shades in my collection. I suppose this really is nothing special, pretty dupe-able. Still, its nice...

    Got this as part of an Essie cube with 4 minis. Gorgeous nude pale pinky beige color, however, its streaky even with 2 coats. Hard to get even. Wouldn't repurchase.

    Pale petal pink. NC30 here. Borders on being almost too light and cool for my skin, but usable. I think I can do better though. 1 coat - streaky. 2 coats - still see visible nail line. 3...

    I really hope I got a bad bottle, because this is hands-down the worst polish I've ever purchased. The formula is completely runny, streaky, and after FIVE COATS I gave up on getting it opaque...

    I absolutely adore this shade! It is a very natural nude colour and gives the nails a stunning shine. Looks best when your skin is tanned!!! LOVE IT!

    This is a beautiful nude beigey white shade. Semi opaque after 2 coats and very glossy finish. The application was perfect, non-streaky. This is my first Essie shade and I'm very pleased. My only...

    This is my favorite nude natural nail look. Nice pearl not too white not too pink, just perfect. Great for a french manicure.

    I decided to write a review because this is a fallback staple for me when I want really pretty nude nails. I wear this on my toes, and it's gorgeous for summer when your toes are on show. An almost...
