Queen Elizabeth is said to have worn Essie’s Ballet Slippers (usually £7.99) since 1989 when her hairdresser requested a bottle of the pale, nearly translucent pink polish be sent to Buckingham Palace.
Having worn the polish ever since, the Queen’s royal stamp of approval has seen the polish become an iconic and bestselling colour in Essie’s line.

And Queen Elizabeth isn’t the only royal member who is a fan of the brand as Kate Middleton wore Essie Allure nail varnish on her wedding day back in 2011 when she wed Prince William.
The popularity of Essie Ballet Slippers hasn’t wavered as on Amazon alone over 1,400 shoppers have left glowing reviews, gushing about the natural and subtly chic polish, crowning it the ‘best nail varnish’. The polish is also a bestseller on Amazon’s list of nail polishes.
Several wearers note the long-lasting formulation and high shine. But it’s the polish’s clean and sophisticated finish they can’t get enough of.
‘This is an iconic Essie shade, and it is truly beautiful,’ one reviewer wrote. ‘It is the palest of pink and almost looks white. It is so delicate, clean and classy. In truth, it is absolutely stunning.

‘As with all Essie polishes, the quality is excellent. The brush is wide and easy to use. The polish is thick without being gloopy, and the polish lasts on the nail fairly well, although it does take a while to set hard.’
‘I wanted to wear the same nail varnish that our Queen wears, and I absolutely adore it,’ commented another shopper. ‘I think that it looks so elegant and matches any colour scheme, and I’m sure it has made my nails stronger.’
A third wrote: ‘No wonder the Royal family use it. Elegant easy to apply and wear.’
