Beautiful nails

this nail polish is the queen of them all, this is essies %231 color in their line, I wore this color for my wedding in 1981 and still come back to it, its beautiful, not too sheer, lovely gloss

the queen of all pinks

walmart.com

Polish lasts longer when I use this product.

I'm so glad I bought this. It was an impulse buy but my nails have been the in the best condition they've ever been since I started using it. I typically have this, brittle nails. I've been able to grow them out and they're not breaking for once!

Will get again

To ctsweatergirl

The base coat is perfectly fine. when you said that you woke up the next morning with "sheet marks" your nails probably just weren't completely dry before you slept and therefore when you woke up, you found "sheet marks". i own this top coat too, but i never get sheet marks. I only get sheet marks if my polish isn't dry and i fall asleep. there is no problem with this top coat

It works perfectly

Essie

The first time I used it, it ended up taking almost 3 full days to dry, not even completely dry. I only put on one thin layer as a top coat because the coat seemed very runny, but it still ruined my manicure. The consistency was almost like a goo after it started to dry on my nails. I tried it one more time, and the same thing happened. I have never had a problem like this with a new top coat, Essie, or any other brand.

Other Essie products I have not had problems with either; it seems to be just this product for me.

Poor Consistency

I have tried it 3 times now, it's causing bubbling to my varnish. Never quite dries properly, marks even after a couple of hours. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the top coat I used previously was flawless. Very disappointed ☹️

Just not good for me at all

essie.co.uk

I am very disappoited with this product. The first time I used it, it left a layer of what lookked like dust on my nails - small tiny particles, not a smooth finish. I will be going back to my trusted Essie basecoat and top coat

essie

I used this product as a base coat, then applied 2 coats of essie polish leaving about 20-30 minutes before coats to avoid any accidents since I was doing my nails for a very especial occasion and wanted them to be perfect. Applied this all-in-one product as top coat on the final step. I let them dry for at least 3 hours and went to sleep, I woke up with the texture of my sheets imprinted on my nails. My nails look horrible, darker, and dull. I HATE that I spent so much time last night trying to get my nails perfect for my special day, for this horrible product to ruin them entirely.

DO NOT USE AS TOP COAT

I have tried several other top coats, but this one is one of the worst. I painted my nails at 10:30 in the morning and when I went to bed 12 hours later, I woke up with sheet marks. At first, my nails looked amazing, but upon waking up the next morning, my nails looked awful. I thought that 12 hours would have been more than plenty of drying my nails lol. I would never recommend this product to anyone, unless you want to rock sheet marks on your nails, then go for it.

worst top coat ever
