Essie Nail Polish Review

I've got a few Essie polishes in my mountainous collection and this is probably one of my favourite soft pinks.

As the name suggests, this is a very, very soft pink that goes on well but you do need a couple of coats for the colour to really come out, otherwise it's a bit sheer and can go on a little streaky.

I love this colour, and I don't typically like pinks, but this is a perfect 'blush' pink that's so girlie I cannot possibly resist it!

Wow what a colour, I popped this on Saturday morning and its still vibrant 3 days on, no sign of chipping or flaking. The only draw back was the size of the brush for application, its wider than normal which for me with rather small nails found a bit tricky to get neatly on, but nothing a trusty cotton bud soaked in remover couldn't fix. Would be buying this again for sure, it is as stated a vacation in a bottle, as the blue has an almost sparkle to it which reminds me of ocean views with the sun bouncing off it.

This Nail Polish is a fantastic colour and I received many compliments on it. I haven't used a polish with a rounded brush before and it was great. It made it so much easier to apply and get a great look. I applied two coats and got a really nice finish. I will definitely be using this one again.

This colour is probably one of the most gorgeous nail polishes I own. It is a really pretty royal blue with a gorgeous shine.

The brush is quite wide and dense which I found really good and it made application quite a bit easier than other nail polishes I own.

Once I had applied only 1 coat it was almost a blueish-green colour, and I was feeling pretty disappointed that it looked nothing like the colour in the bottle, but with one more layer it was the exact colour as the bottle portrayed and super super vibrant! I was inlove. It then dried super fast too, and I had no problem with it smudging or getting indents or getting ruined on my nails like I generally do!

It lasts very well also, the first sign of tiny chips I noticed was after 3 days of wear, until then there was no chipping, peeling or anything. I was so surprised and it lasts better than any other higher end nail polish i've ever tried, such as OPI or Orly.

Overall I am extremely impressed with both the colour and the lasting power. I've never had a nail polish that I've loved so much and that has ticked all the boxes for me. I'll definitely be wearing this all the time!

I love essie polishes, and this colour is no exception. A very chic, light pink as the name 'ballet slippers' suggests. True, you do need to apply several coats to get a nice finish but it's oh-so-worth it! This colour is very suitable for women who like to wear nail polish to work, but have a job where deep or bright colours are frowned upon. Gives your nails a 'finished' appearance without looking like you tired too hard. A staple in my collection.

I love love loooove this colour! Im a huge fan of dark or bright colours, but with work im unable to express my self :( Ballet slippers gives me the light natural colour shade and goes highly unoticed by my bosses! (hopefully they will not read this lol)

I find you do have to apply a generous amount, on a high note, a mistake can go missed.

The downside, is i literally have to sit there and do nothing for atleast a good half an hour to avoid ruining the polish, so i think some quick dry spray is needed.

Overall i will continue to use this product.

Such a gorgeous colour! This is a soft, subtle pink, nice and discreet for the office or for spring time. I like to use this in a french mani for a feminine touch.

This color is very similar to many that I have in my kit, which says that its a color I like. This one I have found especially good as it has a great depth to it. To me it has a very nautical feel to it. It has lasted very well on my nails, and considering I am out of top coat, this says a lot. I would absolutely recommend this shade, and Essie to anybody. 5/5 from me.

I was lucky enough to trial this nail polish and must admit, I've fallen in love with it. I don't usually wear nail polish that much (have 3 kids and lots of washing, so it comes off all the time lol) but I will definitely wear this nail polish. I love it, its a gorgeous colour and I really love the way it looks, makes me feel a little bit feminine lol.
