essie Nail Colour Shearling Darling - 851

For a salon-quality finish, start with clean, dry nails. Use an essie base coat, apply two thin coats of 'Shearling Darling', allowing each to dry for 1-2 minutes, and finish with an essie top coat. Ensure complete drying between coats.

Use a standard nail polish remover. For best results, soak a cotton pad in remover, press it onto the nail for a few seconds, and then wipe gently. For darker colors like burgundy, you might need a stronger remover or a few passes to ensure all pigment is lifted.

With proper application (including base and top coats) and care, essie nail polish is designed for long-lasting wear, often lasting several days without chipping. Individual wear time can vary based on daily activities and nail care habits.

While it can be used with other brands, essie recommends using their own base and top coats for optimal performance, as their formulas are designed to work synergistically.

'Shearling Darling' provides a glossy, high-shine finish, characteristic of traditional nail lacquers.

The capacity of this essie Nail Colour bottle is 13.5 ml.

Store your essie nail polish upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the polish from drying out and to maintain its consistency.

This can happen if the bottle has been left open or exposed to air. Try adding a drop or two of nail polish thinner (not remover) and rolling the bottle between your hands to mix. Avoid shaking vigorously, as this can introduce air bubbles.

Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. For best results, try applying the polish in three strokes: one down the center and one on each side. Make sure the previous coat is adequately dry before applying the next. Using an essie top coat can help even out the finish.

Ensure nails are properly prepped (clean and oil-free). Always use a base coat and a top coat. Reapply the top coat every 2-3 days to extend the manicure's life. Avoid exposing nails to harsh chemicals or using them as tools.

Apply a second, thin coat of the nail polish. Ensure you are using an opaque color and not a sheer formula without adequate coats. A white or light-colored base coat can sometimes help brighter colors pop more.
