essie Salon-Quality Nail Polish, 8-Free Vegan, Sheer Pale Pink, Ballet Slippers, 0.46 fl oz

I was pleasantly surprised with this set. I normally just buy the regular individual Essie polish but I decided to try this duo since it was on sale. I was impressed, this polish dries fairly quickly, goes on smoothly with no streaking, and you only need 2 coats. The clear top coat dries to a very glossy finish which I love. I must say I get a couple of days longer wear without chipping with this set as compared to the regular Essie polish. It removes just as easily as regular nail polish. Also, if you are a Miami Dolphins fan this is the perfect shade!

Essie’s First Kiss Bliss is my absolute favorite color from them. I wanted something that reminded me of the ocean, and this shade is exactly it. It’s a soft, light aqua-blue, like seafoam, but leaning more blue than green. It is calming and gives off that breezy, coastal vibe I was going for. I actually bought it to match a top I have, and it matched perfectly. I don’t use a topcoat, and even so, I can wear it for about a week before it starts to chip, which is pretty good. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and the brush makes it simple to get a clean finish without much effort. It’s functional for everyday wear whether I’m out and about or just want something that looks nice without needing constant touch-ups. For the price, it’s great value. You get a beautiful, long-wearing polish that feels fresh and fun. If you’re into ocean-inspired tones, this one’s a total win.

This is the perfect shade of dark red. The nail polish goes well and lasts for days. I really like the essie brand. I've never been disappointed.

Beautiful color

Polish is nice and dries well. However if you’re pale like me it will stain your skin when taking it off if you don’t get it off in one swipe, it also stained my nails.

Oh my... What a mess. I've been using Essie for many years, too many to mention. I always use sheer, light pink shades, like Mademoiselle, Sugar Daddy, Ballet Slippers, etc. Well, you should see my nails after applying Ballet Slippers. Looks like chalk - certainly NOT sheer! It also applied in ridges - does not cover nail evenly nor smoothly. I had to go to work with nails looking like a cheap mess - no time to remove and reapply. What happened to this trusted brand? I also bought Sugar Daddy - haven't yet used it. Stay tuned for review.... I'd hate to start looking for another brand. Update: company graciously refunded the cost - very much appreciated. And I tried Sugar Daddy - great!!!! So I assume it was only that particular bottle of Ballet Slippers. I will try again.

Smooth application and I like that's supposed to be made with "safer" chemicals, however, the color is not even close to what it's pictured. No shimmer and much more neony. I won't be sending it back because there te a little girl in the family that likes this color so she will be getting it but if you're looking for pale pink with shimmer - that's not it. Maybe they sent me the wrong one. I ordered another color hopefully will be accurate.
