Dupe: Essie Ballet Slippers VS. L’Oreal How Romantic Nail Polish


Essie Ballet Slippers Dupe

When I bought L’Oreal’s ‘How Romantic’ nail polish I didn’t even realize that it was so identical to Essie’s ‘Ballet Slippers’ until I stored it on my on-display style nail polish shelf. I thought this would be a great dupe post since ‘Ballet Slippers’ is one of Essie’s most coveted shades.

Both are around a comparable price point, so when it comes to making a decision it’s strictly based on the slight shade difference. Continue reading “Dupe: Essie Mint Candy Apple VS.
