Essie really isn't readily available in Australia (they don't even have stockist numbers only a company number and no website).
I have only ever seen the brand once in a salon where I had a pedicure two years ago, the most perfect pale pink shade. I thought it was 'Ballerina' however 'Ballet Slippers' is most likely the shade.
I tried to hunt down the shade in the states by poking my head into every shop salon. OPI everywhere but no Essie. I managed to spot the brand on my last day at Duane Reade, while trying to find a pink Snuggie and peanut butter M&M's.
On a side note, I never found the peanut butter M&M's and ended up buying several packs of Peanut Butter Cups from Fairways.
The stand was almost empty so I came back to Australia empty handed
turns out I could purchase Essie at adorebeauty at $18.95 a pop so I only purchased three shades
Mint Candy Apple (Creme De Menthe Mint) Ballet Slippers (Pale Pink - Sheer Finish) Pink Parka (A Creamy Piping Hot Pink)
They are slightly smaller than OPI bottle (in appearance only both are 15ml) however they last alot longer. I have been wearing my current application for one week and im so far chip free. I would like to see OPI do that.
My mission now is to find Essie online for a bit cheaper. Or find a stockist in Adelaide
