Box Contains 1 x Essie Nail Lacquer 13.5 ml, 6 Ballet Slippers Manufacturer Contact Information Essie, London, W6 8AZ Review: Gorgeous! - I like Essie as a brand and the shade of ‘Island Hopping’ is as good as the rest. I chose it to match a dress for a wedding and it is just lovely. It is almost a neutral and it really suited and flattered my pale skin tone. It is easy to apply with no clumping. You can get away without a base coat, as there’s no staining, and two thin coats gives a lovely depth. It gave a gorgeous smooth finish with a decent shine as it is, but a clear top coat elevated it again. It did dry pretty quickly, even with multiple coats. It lasted for 6 days with no chipping and very little wear, but I did put the clear coat under the tip of the nail. Really good value and I just love it. Happy to recommend. Review: Mademoiselle is not one to 'miss' 😁 - I love this Essie nail polish, it's one of those 'not quite there's polishes that gives your nails a boost, but without loads of colour. I'm not a great fan of heavy colour polishes, I can never put them on well and, frankly, they go everywhere! The Essie Mademoiselle is a very sheer pink with a very high gloss finish that is impossible to mess up. It also looks great over a darker colour if you want to tone it down a little. This colour doesn't streak (I find all Essie polishes good for that) and goes on easily with a decent thickness. It also doesn't take too long to dry and a second or third coat will also dry well as long as the coat before is dry. The staying power of this colour is great, I can get a good week with two coats and it still looks fine. I have already bought another bottle, because I know I'm going to be using it both on its own and over darker colours. It's one of those beauty finds you're really glad to come across! ## Features - SALON QUALITY COLOUR: Essie original nail polish provides a salon quality, vegan formula for high shine and glossy finish. - HIGH COVERAGE: Intense rich colour with high coverage and outstanding durability. - EASY GLIDE BRUSH: Easy-glide brush for quick, even professional application on nails. - APPLICATION: Pair with essie's all in one base coat and topcoat and finish with essie's apricot on a roll cuticle oil. - OVER 100 SHADES: With over 100 shades to fall in love with, our colours are inspired by the latest fashion and cultural trends to make your manicure possibilities endless. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009AQWGXE | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Benefits | Even, glossy finish and no watermark | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,156 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 13 in Nail Polish | | Brand | essie | | Brand Name | essie | | Colour | Ballet Slippers Sheer Pink | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 10,828 Reviews | | Finish Type | Sheer | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000030095083 | | Included Components | nail polish bottle | | Item Dimensions | 30 x 30 x 70 centimetres | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Nail Polish | | Item Weight | 52 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 30 x 30 x 70 centimetres | | Liquid Volume | 13.5 Millilitres | | Liquid volume | 13.5 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | L'Oréal | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Essie, London, W6 8AZ | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3600530739554 | | Material Features | Formaldehyde-free or formaldehyde-free | | Material Type Free | Formaldehyde Free | | Model Name | essie Original Nail Polish | | Model Number | B1863000 | | Nail Polish Type | base | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Size Name | Single | | Special Features | Chip Resistant | | Special feature | Chip Resistant | | Target Audience | Girls, women | | Type | base | | UPC | 752584112876 721866713674 300950830000 754495130062 000030095298 712703133656 000030095083 | | Unit Count | 13.5 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** essie - **Colour:** Ballet Slippers Sheer Pink - **Finish type:** Sheer - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 30 x 30 x 70 centimetres - **Item form:** Liquid - **Liquid volume:** 13.5 Millilitres - **Material Type Free:** Formaldehyde Free - **Model name:** essie Original Nail Polish - **Special feature:** Chip Resistant - **Type:** base ## Images ![Classic nail polish - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-HUaEwf5L.jpg) ![Classic nail polish - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C37WT7PgL.jpg) ![Classic nail polish - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T9Ko1kziL.jpg) ![Classic nail polish - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mc5ZPHIxL.jpg) ![Classic nail polish - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tsHnYxT2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the brush flat and wide? or round and thin?** A: The brush is round and thin. thanks **Q: Is this a breathable polish that can used whilst treating a fungal nail infection** A: Yes **Q: Can you use this to add an all-over shimmer to a 'flat' colour?** A: I love Essie polish, simply the best, but putting this shade over another colour won’t add shimmer, it will just hide the original shade **Q: Do you need a UV lamp for this one ?** A: No, air dry. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous! *by F***A on 18 July 2026* I like Essie as a brand and the shade of ‘Island Hopping’ is as good as the rest.

Subtle natural barely there colour and shine. Paired this with the essie topcoat to give it a good finish. Knocked one star off as it did take 3 coats to get the colour and it’s still a little streaky in places… me being picky. Overall very happy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Essie Nail Lacquer #162-Ballet Slippers 13,5 Ml - Essie Gel Couture Long-Lasting Nail Polish, Vegan, Clear, Shiny Top Coat, 0.46 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/55891217-classic-nail-polish](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/55891217-classic-nail-polish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
