Description

Essie colors always have a cute name and a number to identify them. However, ballet slippers come in #096 and #162. This labeling was confusing, so I tried both to see if there was a contrast between them. If you put fresh nail polish over a semi-dry coat, the brush will lift some color off the nail. As a result, there will be brush marks on the coat, or the manicure will wrinkle straight up. The brush position during application. Note:The bottle cap on #162 has a lowercase “e” on top, while that of #096 is plain. You can use this little distinction to tell the two products apart if you lose a label. Why is Essie’s Ballet Slippers So Popular?

Essie calls ‘Forever yummy’ a creamy tango red lacquer. I must admit that before I was researching Essie’s red shades for this review, I was never really paying attention to Forever yummy. I never really noticed this shade to be honest. Forever yummy is indeed a creme polish, and it is darker and cooler-toned than Aperitif and Russian roulette. Where Aperitif and Russian roulette had a more jelly formula, Forever yummy is definitely a creme. I know that Essie often includes it in Essie Christmas mini sets, and to be honest, Forever yummy is indeed a great Christmas red but I would be able to wear it any time of year. It is opaque in two coats on my nails and probably also for longer nails. Just a fun fact: Essie Forever yummy was originally released as ‘Forever young’ for fall 2008, this might explain the fact why I had never heard of Forever yummy! A manicure with Essie mademoiselle adds a slight shimmer to the nails, making it look like you’ve applied clear polish. The subtle pink makes this shade a fave for anyone looking for a true sheer nude. Essie Ballet slippers and Mademoiselle are classic nude pink nail polishes that are perfect dupes of each other. They are both sheer, have pink undertones, and pair well with all outfits in all seasons.Nevertheless, you can put on up to three layers of polish to achieve that creamy pink hue if you like manicures with more coverage. There was no difference in the color or shimmer of the nail polish. However, I noticed that #096 is a little harder to find online and in local drugstores. So, considering that Essie regularly tweaks its product formulas, #096 could be an older version of ballet slippers. The popularity of Essie’s ballet slippers is mainly attributed to its pale pink color and Queen Elizabeth II. You read that right.

Essie Geranium is clearly the most orange from all of these shades. Lacquered up is a red with a bit of orange. While Russian roulette also contains a tiny bit of orange, it is slightly cooler toned and darker than Lacquered up, but the difference is really subtle. Essie Not Red-y for Bed is very cool-toned and contains the most pink. Comparison of Essie Russian roulette vs Essie Really red vs Essie Aperitif vs Essie Forever yummy Essie calls ‘Aperitif’ an ‘ appetizing creamy red polish‘. I had no clue what to expect. They don’t mention anything about undertones, or whether it is a dark or lighter shade of red. Now that I have actually seen this shade and worn it, I can tell you that it is a slightly cooler toned red creme, that covers in two coats. It is a bit darker than Russian Roulette and Really red, but not a lot. The shade was opaque in two coats, but it also has a jelly formula, so if you have longer nails you might have to use three. The shade was originally released around the year 2000 in a drink-themed collection. Based on the number this color used to have in the US (362), I estimate that this color is from the Winter 1999 collection, which is indeed the drink-themed collection called ‘The Essie Vineyard’. Other shades in the collection all had drink-inspired names such as Cognac and Vermouth.

Unlike Essie ballet slippers, Mademoiselle remains entirely sheer even at three coats. The only difference is that the nude pink hue intensifies, and the manicure obtains a slightly more visible shimmer. Nevertheless, it compliments all skin tones and won’t draw attention from the rest of your outfit. 3. Streakiness You need about 2-3 coats of nail polish to achieve the actual color of Essie ballet slippers and Mademoiselle. However, you can apply fewer or more coats to build the color to the desired intensity. Essie Mademoiselle is the best choice if you want a true sheer pink. It is beautifully sheer at one coat and remains completely see-through even if you add a second and third layer.
