Troubleshooting
Nail polish is chipping quickly.
Ensure you are using the essie gel couture top coat as the final step. For maximum wear (up to 15 days), reapply the top coat on day 7. Also, make sure nails are clean and dry before initial application to ensure good adhesion.
Polish looks streaky or uneven after application.
Apply thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry partially before applying the next. The patented swirl stem brush is designed for controlled application; ensure you are not overloading the brush with too much polish.
The finish is not as glossy as expected.
Confirm that you are applying the essie gel couture top coat. The 'triple shine complex' in the top coat is crucial for achieving the glass-like shine. Ensure the top coat is applied smoothly and evenly.
