Overview
Not an opaque color and not a clear coat, essie Ballet Slippers is a sheer pale pink that adds a clean, polished tint. The easy glide brush lays down smooth coats, and the formula is vegan with no animal testing.
A sheer pink gives a groomed look that suits offices, interviews and weddings. It lets the natural nail show through, so stains and ridges remain visible.
Who it's for
People who prefer subtle, classic nails for work or special events. Those hiding discolored nails will need an opaque shade.
Pros and cons
- Classic sheer pink
- Natural, polished look
- Easy glide brush
- Sheer, does not hide stains
- Base and top coat sold separately
- Bottle size not in the bullets
Performance notes
The sheer finish builds with each coat, so two coats look more even than one. A base coat smooths ridges that a sheer color would otherwise show.
