Most Helpful Positive Review Satiny Color Thats Perfect For Most Initially I thought the color was a bit light for my skin tone but overtime I've come to like it. Its soft enough to almost look natural but glossy enough to catch the eye. The formula is interesting to work with. It may take me some time to really work out how to use it best. I'd recommend this for anyone who loves soft nail colors or if you're looking for an understated semi-neutral look.
Most Helpful Critical Review Difficult Formula, Great Color Ballet Slippers was one of the first Essie polishes I ever bought, and I bought it because of the amazing reviews I had seen for it. To be completely honest, the formula is VERY difficult to work with. It's a lovely sheer color, but you have to put 3 coats to make the streakiness not visible, and by that point, it is opaque. That being said, once you are used to the formula, it is far easier to work with. All of this said, once it is on the nails and opaque, the color is AMAZING! I have 100+ nail polishes, and yet this is my husband's absolute favorite nail polish on me. It makes my nails look clean and chic; it is so feminine, yet professional.

I bought this because I really wanted that light green color but I was skeptical of buying online would skew the color. It doesn't! Highly recommend these products!
A pretty nude 5
Alo from Rio Rancho, NM
Purchased this product for a classy fresh look and this shade did the job. I applied two layers of the nail polish and it's very glossy and pretty long lasting without any clear top coat. I'd definitely recommend this product (brand of polish) for anyone who's looking for a good quality polish. This is it.
Took forever to dry 2
PS from Los Angeles, CA
I really loved the color of Topless & Barefoot even though it turned out to be more lighter pink than beige.
It took so long to dry though, more than half an hour and if you touch anything then you'd have to reapply and wait a long time before it dried. I ended up spending an hour redoing it and ended up with a bunch of air bubbles/smudges.
Love the color 5

I bought a few of these as a Christmas gift for my friends who watch the Crown. Queen Elizabeth has been using this nail polish exclusively for the past eight years.
Did not like. 1
K. from Minneapolis
It does not last for a very long time. I was very satisfied for a few hours until I realized it started coming off, how do I explain it.. It was like jelly?
Very nice light color 5
NanaG from WI
Build up layers and let dry well. It smudges if it isn't dry enough
Not impressed. 2
lhall from Madisonville, KY
I didn't like the color on all my nails. It feels like more of an accent color. It also doesn't wear well - chipped quickly and became dull.
I would buy this product without hesitation. 5

Why did I wait so long 5

I don't know why I waited so long to try this color. It's been available for years. It is classic. I have gotten so many compliments!!!
A Cut Above! 5
Jac from Florida
I really love this polish! It adds an amazing effect on top of any polish. On the first coat it has a very nice scattered effect, but you can build it up with a second coat to be denser , or even a third one for an almost chrome-esque fully packed nail. It's truly so gorgeous and shines so bright, even without a top coat. Due to the nature of it being a glitter, it lasts extremely long, but it does take a little bit of time to take off. I usually just need to soak my nails in acetone. Sometimes if I try and wipe it prematurely, it will actually just wipe the coloring off of the glitter and then the cotton ball is all caught in the glitter on my nails and everything. If you let the nails soak for at least like 10 or 15 minutes, it should all swipe off effortlessly. A little goes a very long way, I've had my bottle for two years now. It is also so versatile, you can put a singular coat over natural nails for a really cute pop of glitter, add some glitter on top of polish, or even make a full glitter nail. It is definitely worth a buy!
Great for the simple 5
nicki from florida
I like it because I only apply about two coats to get the natural pale pink color that my nails already produce. But more shiny. I want someone to hold my hand while they look like this lol
Love the watermelon color 4
Violet Gal from Jefferson, NJ
I saw the color "watermelon" in a magazine add and new I wanted to wear it. Love the color! Did find that it chipped quicker than I thought but I will try again with a different top coat to see if that makes a difference.
It's alright 3

I've bought a LOT of blue polish over the years, looking for the darkest navy. This one "nails" it. Almost black, this is the navy blue I've been looking for.
reminds me of white-out 1

Love this color. Long lasting 5
Heather from Florida
I used this on my natural nails (I always just paint my own) with no base coat and the hard as nails top coat (not by Essie) and it's lasted for days with no chipping!!! So awesome that it's held up so well especially with all the hand washing I've been doing! I'm on day 5 currently and it still looks great.
