FAQs
Is this a true gel polish that requires a UV/LED lamp?
No, essence Gel Nail Colour is a traditional nail polish formulated to provide a 'gel-like' high-gloss finish without the need for a UV or LED curing lamp. It dries naturally in the air.
How many coats of polish should I apply?
For best results and intense color, two coats are recommended. You can apply more coats if you desire a deeper, more vibrant color result, remembering that more layers will increase the overall drying time.
How quickly does the polish dry?
The first coat of the essence Gel Nail Colour dries in approximately 40 seconds. Subsequent coats will extend the total drying time needed for the entire manicure.
Is this nail polish vegan and free from harsh chemicals?
Yes, this product is vegan. It is also formulated as a 'clean beauty' product, meaning it is free of microplastic particles, acetone, oil, parabens, perfume, preservatives, and alcohol.
Do I need to use a base coat and top coat with this polish?
While you can apply the color directly, using a base coat and finishing with a top coat is highly recommended. This ensures optimal adhesion, a perfect salon-like glossy finish, and helps to extend the wear time of your manicure.
What is the '52 Coral me maybe' shade like?
The product information indicates '52 Coral me maybe' is a specific shade within the essence Gel Nail Colour range. Expect a coral hue, which can vary in intensity depending on the number of coats applied.
Troubleshooting
Nail polish is taking too long to dry.
Ensure you are applying thin coats. While the first coat dries quickly, subsequent thicker coats or multiple layers will naturally require more drying time. Allow ample time between layers.
The color is not as vibrant or intense as expected.
The intensity of the color increases with the number of layers. Apply a third coat if you desire a deeper, more saturated hue. Ensure each layer is thin and allowed to dry sufficiently.
Manicure chips or doesn't last long.
Proper nail preparation is key. Make sure your nails are thoroughly clean and degreased before application. Always use a base coat and finish with a top coat to maximize longevity and prevent chipping.
Application appears streaky or uneven.
The patented broad double-touch brush is designed for easy application. Ensure you are loading enough polish onto the brush to cover the nail in 1-3 strokes without overworking it. Work quickly and apply thin, even layers.
