NOTW 3: Ballet Slippers

Take 3 on my NOTW posts! This week I wanted to try out my Essie polish in 'Ballet Slippers' and in all honesty, I'm not too keen on it. I understand that it's meant to be sheer but I think it's much too sheer. This polish took 4 coats to become opaque on my nails and that took me quite a while to apply. On a better note however it did dry fairly quickly considering how many coats it needed. The only thing is, there was another down side because I only had this on for a day before it started chipping and peeling away. I only had to bend my nail slightly and you could see that it had started peeling away. I did try to forget it but unfortunately it kept on happening so I ended out ripping the loose bits off which looked even worse! (I'm not going to blame that on the polish though, haha, that's my own fussy fault!).
The colour however was beautiful (just a shame it was ruined by the formula!). It's a gorgeous pinky white and looks so pretty and feminine! I absolutely love the colour on my nails so I will probably will keep this in my collection (but not repurchasing) despite the formula.
