Pros & Cons
Pros
With just one coat, it protects my nail polish from chipping. The applicator brush is wide enough to apply the top coat to the whole nail. The top coat adds a beautiful layer that gives it a salon look for a lot cheaper.
This is amazing. Works on both my cheap nail polishes and my more expensive ones. Essie is a brand that i trust and love, so i’m not surprised that i love another one of their products.
Dries quickly and lasts a long time. Smells nice (subtly) its effect reminds me seche vite but without the harsh smell.
Essie cuticle oil makes my cuticle softer and my nails look so youthful. It gives my nails a nice shine too. It makes your nails look extra glossy and fantastic!
Cons
It is marketed to stop peeling nails in as little as 3 days. The slight purple colour looks really great initially, but when the polish starts peeling, it is very obvious. This one doesn’t even last twenty-four hours on the nails.
Highlights
Quality
Works well brush sizeshape coats the nail well
Works well to help my nails from cracking and peeling in winter
It takes 1015 minutes for me to go back to do what i was doing and the nail polish feels completely dry
A lot of them peel or chip within the first few days
Price
The price is good and it keeps the moisture in the skin very well
I just wish it was not so expensive
Not as hardening as i would like and you can peel it off easily but it’s priced accordingly
Competitiveness
I was really unsure of this product considering essie has so many different top coats

I liked that it had the oil already in it and it was costly i didnt like that but it has been nice to have it with the built in top coat and that extra moisturize for your fingers and toes

Put above my regular nail polish one time only and it is good for 4 days but it can last more if you don’t clean like me every day 😉
