Does not do the job
5 years ago
Initially I was very excited to try this as I've always smoothed out the ridges in my nails with file which I've looked doing.
The polish has a milky look to it but applies clear and dries clear. The brush feels really lovely and the consistency of the polish leaves no brush strokes.
When it had first dried it was as if by magic my nails actually felt smooth and I was shocked how good they felt. However after about 30 minutes when the polish had chance to absorb into my nail, my nails looked and felt no different to before I'd used it. Very disappointed.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Essie for the perfect manicure and pedicure
5 years ago
Essie for me is the best, it works really well for me. This is a great and essential addition to any manicure or/and pedicure. I use the top coat and a base. I love the glossy shine it gives to my nail, it is really easy to apply thanks to its brush. The glide brush helps get a quick and even application. No streak too. Plus, I love the fact that the Essie range is vegan i.e no animal derived ingredients.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Really good at soothing
5 years ago
For a base coat *whispers I usually skip this part but not today *and for once I actually see the difference! My nails smoothed over and while they dulled slightly that didn't exactly matter considering its a base coat and would be ready for a pretty colour on.... The coating was really easy to use and I was surprised just how quick it dryed out and was ready to go
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love this product!
5 years ago
I have very ridged nails so was excited to try this. It works beautifully. I applied 2 coats and then applied the polish. I actually did one hand with and one without, just to see the difference, and it really does make a difference. The polish appears much smoother and has more shine on the one with this. Thank you!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Miracle solution!
5 years ago
I expected this to be a standard base coat, however I've been really surprised by how effective it is! It ensures your colour coat stays we'll put for several days. It dries quickly and smoothly. I'm really impressed and feel that it doesn't compare to any other base coat I've used.

Great product
5 years ago
I love essie products and this one didn't disappoint. I have quite ridged nails which means alot of nail varnishes peel off quickly. With this product as a base coat it evened my nails out and kept my nail varnish on for much longer!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Smoothing Base Coat

This base coat is great at gliding over imperfections to create a smooth base. It is very easy to open, and very easy to use. It also has a good thickness for applying onto the nail. It drys very quick and has a clear top finish.

Nice base
5 years ago
This varnish base gives a good grounding for nail polish. It irons out a lot of the dimples and crevices in the nail, giving a good preparation for the colour coat. Nice packaging and a good, wide, brush head for easy application.
Yes, I recommend this product.
