nail color, ballet slippers
Product Details
Web ID: 581837Weird 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. By the second coat, all of our nail colors should look perfect! Your bottle does not sound like its going on as it should and we want to understand what happened just as much as you do. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @866 313 7845 MF9:00 am – 5:00 pm ET
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. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET
Beautiful color, insane cure time
The color itself is phenomenal, but the formula desperately needs improvement. Because it is so sheer you must use at least two coats to get it anywhere close to even, but the cure time (even for the first coat) is so long that you're bound to mess the job up anyway. Even after 4 hours it is not fully cured and I'm still getting new dents and dings everywhere.

Hello Alex13! Thank you for sharing your experience with the color Ballet Slippers. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do! All of our colors should flow easily onto the nail and by the second coat your color should be perfect. Even with a base coat, 2 coats of color and a top coat, your mani should not take longer than 15 minutes to become well set and dried.

Pretty color but streaky even after 3 coats
I saw the color on essie’s website and loved it. The possibility to wear it as a sheer or solid depending on the number of coats seemed great. I found it in a very popular retail store and bought it immediately. However, it is so streaky that one coat is not enough and even after three coats it shows empty lines. Disappointing.
