essie Nail Care, Apricot Cuticle Oil and Nail Treatment, 8-Free Vegan, On A Roll, 0.46 fl oz

I decided to try this clear tint pink "Glow & Shine" from Essie as the pink armor polish I had been using is not available to ship to my location anymore per Amazon. I am not sure what that means as it is available from my local big box store in my city, but decided I would see what else I might like. I am very pleased with Essie as it is just the right pink color. I also think the brush is shaped just right to apply on polish onto nails. It is somewhat wide shaped and flat that goes over the nail very well and leaves a polish layer that goes on very smoothly. I may look into more Essie polish colors.

I wasn’t sure this product was going to work but OMG. Originally purchased in Nov of 2024 when I had DESTROYED my nails with a drill. They were so so thin, my fingers even hurt.I used this polish for months (because I was too scared to try any new gel or dip) and my nails are so strong. I’m sorry I don’t have pics but all I can say is that it does work; however, I also let my nails rest of no gels or dips or anything, just this one product.Now I always use it as a base coat before doing my dip powder .

If you are like me and always, without fail, mess up your nails before they are fully dry...then you NEED this top coat! It dries fully in under 5 min, and that is because of the high concentration of solvents in this product that helps it solidify quicker on the nails! I can easily paint my nails and then head out on the go without having to worry about scratching or chipping my freshly painted nails!

I wear acrylic nails and they have RUINED my natural nails. They were weak, brittle, splitting, wouldn't grow. I wanted to stop wearing the acrylic nails to help my nails recover but my nails were a mess. I bought this based on the positive reviews, hoping for the best but not expecting much. I was very positively surprised. This stuff works great! My nails are stronger, way less brittle and they have started growing! No more splitting! In the beginning, i wore 2 coats of it under my acrylic nails and that actually protected them and my nails grew and hardened under them. I am very happy with this product!! My only con would be I don't love the smell, but other than that it's great. It evens dries pretty quickly!

I never write reviews, but I am SO impressed with this product. I’m a 50-year-old perimenopausal woman who has always had healthy nails, with no issues growing them. Suddenly, they’ve begun to break, split, and peel—overnight and constantly. I’ve always loved Essie nail polish so decided to give this a try. Used two coats (and sometimes three) for two weeks, replacing every three to four days. My nails are completely back to normal. And such a pretty pink tint, too. Don’t hesitate to buy this if you’re in need of nail repair!

Goes on well but doesn't last

I have the bad habit of picking and biting and chipping off my nailpolish, including gel. This is the only thing that will stay on, not chip off and keeps my nails healthier. I was done using gel and my nails were brittle. I used the 4 sided nail buffer, trimmed and filed nails and this product over. I love it!
