Product Information

Include top coat. Re-apply top coat every other day (capping and sealing free edge each time) to help prevent chips and maintain wear and shine longer. Protect the nail plate. Always apply a base coat before enamel color application—this creates a protective barrier between the nail plate and the color coat to prevent pigment transfer and staining. Start with ridge filling. This primer helps even out the nail surface, which in turn will help level the polish applied on top. This is especially helpful if you’re using a sheer shade or a chalky pastel.

While sitting at my desk, I’ll whip out the Scotch tape, a few shades of nail polish that I have gathered from the dark corners of the office, and then start my weekly masterpiece. It’s been a fun way to start each Monday. One coat of polish takes about 30 to 60 seconds to dry. This is about the time it takes for the average person to paint all of their nails, so once you have painted all your nails, you should be ready to add the next coat. Once you have applied two coats of color, you can start again at the first nail with your top coat. Wrap the tips. Cap and seal the free edge to prevent chipping and shrinkage at the tip of the nail. To do this, remove most of the polish from the brush, then tap it across the free edge of the nail. Do this for every layer—base, both color coats, and top coat. This will “wrap” the free edge of the nail in longer-lasting color. For very short nails or little to no free edge, capping and sealing may be difficult. Aging of polish ingredients may cause color to fade, yellow, or shift over time—discard any bottles that have been opened more than 2 years (or that are unopened but have been stored for more than 2 years). The production of our iconic shades has also advanced over the years – higher quality standards, pure color pigments, and new innovative ingredients allow for a better, more consistent product, but also can result in some color variation from the past. Protect from the sun. Certain polish pigments—especially those found in brighter and neon shades—can fade over time when exposed to natural light. This is why, when you go on sunny vacations, you might find that manicure shades shift slightly during wear. Use no chips ahead top coat, which is formulated with a UV color shield to help reduce this kind of fading.

A primer is not always needed. For normal nail types, a base coat can provide the perfect foundation for your polish. Any blog suggesting this is incorrect. essie brand does not test on animals.

No UV or LED needed. Although gel couture is a gel-like formula, it is applied and dries like an enamel nail polish. I was fascinated by the idea that this nail lacquer was going to help my nails, not hurt them. I also loved that the collection comes in 32 shades ranging from soft nudes and pale pinks to deeper mauves and moody purples. Even those deeper colors, however, could still be considered pale and muted. I wanted to see if Essie’s collection could withstand one of my amateur nail art designs, so I got to work. Essie’s apricot cuticle oil is a cuticle hydrator that can be used before or after a manicure or a pedicure. If used before, be sure to thoroughly cleanse the nail before polish application. apricot cuticle oil should also be used to hydrate nails after polish or gel removal.

To refresh your matte look, cleanse with an alcohol wipe.
