The formula on this polish is sheer but very workable. I pretty much demand opacity from my polishes so I used four coats here, but you could easily stop at two if you want a more sheer look, which I would imagine is how this polish is intended to be worn anyways. Although it took four coats to cover, the formula is smooth and not at all runny or goopy.
Ballet Slippers isn't exactly my style in terms of color but I can still recognize that for what it is, it's incredibly nice. I don't see myself becoming a nude polish devotee anytime soon but I actually like this particular polish. If you're looking for a milky neutral that works for any occasion or a color that would be perfect for French manicures, Ballet Slippers is it. I had an internship interview this morning so this was actually a marvelous color to wear today, since I like to keep my look professional and toned down for interviews.
Well, that's all from me today. Be sure to see what the other Twinsie Tuesday gals are sporting!

Awesome choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nory! :)
DeleteThis really looks like a nude polish and it looks really good on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was surprised how nude it pulls on my skin--must be the pale factor, haha.
DeleteA nice choice for an interview...I like it! I don't think I own any neutrals either, but this would be a nice one to have. I love that Queen Elizabeth factoid..I didn't know that :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That bit of trivia is what initially got me interested in this polish and I'm very happy to have it to fill some gaps in my stash.
DeleteLove the bit about the Queen. Essie must be the royal brand because Kate wore Essie to her wedding. Regardless, this is very subtleand pretty on you
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, I totally forgot that Kate wore Essie as well! The queen must have hooked her up haha.
Deletea lovely colour :) I love essie!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too. :)
DeleteI like this one a lot! I may need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteNice choice and I hope the interview went well. I also like to wear neutrals for interviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think/hope it went quite well. We'll see!
DeleteHey I nominated you for some awards on my blog! http://pamperedwithpolish.blogspot.com/2012/04/awards.html
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll check it out. :)
DeleteDon't own a nude? We need to beef your stash up in that dept! You need a good nude to put light weight glitters over and enjoy just the glitters while the nude looks like you nail only better showing through. That's what I do all the time with Deb Lippmann's Naked.
ReplyDeleteI know, I can't believe it either. :-/ I think the only other thing I have that's close to a nude is Sally Hansen Shell We Dance? which I wear on my toes quite a bit. I originally bought Ballet Slippers for layering purposes but have only worn it alone so far. I have to try a glitter with this eventually!
DeleteGorgeous! I need to get this!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a good go-to color to have so I think it's worth a purchase.
DeletePretty!
