Dupes: Essie "Ballet Slippers" vs. Essie "Ballet Sneakers"

Hi guys and happy Monday!  Today's post is a comparison of Essie's "Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers."  Essie recently launched a collection where they re-did several of their most popular polishes with a twist.  In this case "Ballet Slippers" is the original and "Ballet Sneakers" is the redo.  I was curious how alike/different these polishes are.  Here's how they look in the bottle:

"Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers" are both pastel pink cremes.  The formula of both nail polishes are very similar - both are good and applied easily to my nails.  "Ballet Slippers" is far less pink, almost a neutral cream color while "Ballet Sneakers" is a traditional baby pink.  Both required four coats to be even and smooth on the nail.  Here's how they compare up close:

Overall it is a toss up between Essie's "Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers."  The original ("Ballet Slippers") is perfect for French tips but the newer version ("Ballet Sneakers") is such a pretty stand alone color.  I'll be keeping both in my collection!
