Full details

Its key benefit is delivering a vivid violet shade with magenta undertones for a luxurious, high-shine finish. A potential caveat is that, like all nail polishes, it requires proper application and drying time to achieve optimal results.

FAQs

Is this nail polish truly vegan?

Yes, the 'Playing In Paradise' nail polish is formulated to be vegan, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients.

What does '80% plant-based' mean for this polish?

It signifies that a substantial portion of the polish's ingredients are derived from plant sources, contributing to a more conscious formulation.

How long does the chip-resistant formula typically last?

Longevity varies based on individual activities and nail care routines. With proper application and a good top coat, it's designed to offer extended wear compared to standard formulas.

Can I use this polish with other brands' base and top coats?

Yes, this nail polish is generally compatible with most standard base and top coats. However, using products from the same line (e.g., essie base and top coats) often yields the best results.

How should I store essie nail polish?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to maintain product integrity.

Is the easy-glide brush suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. The exclusive easy-glide brush is designed for precise and smooth application, making it user-friendly for both beginners and experienced users.

What undertones does the 'Playing In Paradise' shade have?

The shade is a vivid violet with distinct magenta undertones, giving it a rich and exotic appearance.

Troubleshooting

Polish is too thick or goopy

Shake the bottle gently. If still too thick, it may be old or exposed to air. Do not add thinner as it can alter the formula's performance. Consider replacing the bottle.

Streaky application

Ensure thin, even coats are applied. Use smooth, deliberate strokes with the easy-glide brush. Allow each coat to dry sufficiently before applying the next. A good base and top coat can also help smooth the finish.

Nail polish chipping quickly

Ensure proper nail preparation (clean, dry, free of oils). Use a base coat and a high-quality top coat. Cap the free edge of the nail with each coat (polish along the very tip). Avoid prolonged exposure to water immediately after application.

Color appears dull

Ensure a high-shine top coat is applied. The color's vibrancy can also be affected by natural light versus artificial light. Check that the polish hasn't been exposed to air excessively, which can degrade the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Ensure nails are clean and dry. Apply a base coat to protect your natural nail and improve polish adhesion.
  2. Shake the bottle gently to mix the polish.
  3. Apply one thin coat of 'Playing In Paradise' using the easy-glide brush, starting from the cuticle and moving towards the tip.
  4. Allow the first coat to dry for 1-2 minutes before applying a second thin coat for full opacity.
  5. Finish with a top coat for added shine and durability.

Compatibility:

This nail polish is compatible with standard base coats and top coats from any brand. For best results, use with essie's complementary care products.

Care:

  • Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to prevent the polish from drying out.
  • Clean any excess polish from the brush before closing the bottle.
  • To remove, use a standard nail polish remover.
