FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Essie Glass Nails Highballer?

The primary benefit is achieving a unique, translucent 'glass-like' finish with a vibrant fuchsia color that is buildable for customized opacity and shine.

How many coats are recommended for the best 'glass' effect?

For the best 'glass' effect, applying 2-3 thin coats is recommended. The exact number depends on the desired color intensity and opacity.

Is this nail polish suitable for all nail types?

Yes, Essie Glass Nails Highballer is suitable for natural nails. Ensure proper application techniques for best results.

Does this nail polish contain animal-derived ingredients?

No, like all essie original nail polishes, the Glass Nails formula is vegan and does not contain animal-derived ingredients.

How can I ensure an even application?

Use the easy glide brush provided and apply the polish in thin, even strokes. Allow each coat to dry slightly before applying the next to prevent streaking.

Can I use this with a basecoat and topcoat?

Yes, it is compatible with basecoats and topcoats. Using an essie all-in-one basecoat and a high-shine topcoat is recommended to enhance wear and achieve the desired finish.

How should I store the nail polish?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.

Troubleshooting

Polish is streaky or uneven.

Ensure you are applying very thin coats. Allow each coat to dry sufficiently before applying the next. Use the easy glide brush to distribute polish evenly without overloading the nail.

Color is not as vibrant as expected.

Apply an additional thin coat. The 'glass nails' effect is buildable; multiple thin coats will increase opacity and vibrancy.

Polish is taking too long to dry.

Ensure coats are applied thinly. Use a quick-dry topcoat or a nail drying drops/spray to speed up the process. Avoid applying thick layers.

The 'glass' effect is not prominent.

The effect is most pronounced with 2-3 thin coats and a high-shine topcoat. Ensure your topcoat provides a glossy finish and consider using a dedicated essie topcoat for best results.
