Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Application)
The setup for Essie Gel Couture is straightforward, requiring no specialized equipment. You only need the Essie Gel Couture color polish and the corresponding Essie Gel Couture Top Coat. No UV or LED lamp is necessary, making it a convenient at-home solution.
Compatibility
Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish is designed to be used specifically with the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat for optimal performance and wear. While you can use other base coats, it's recommended to apply the color directly to a clean, dry nail or with a compatible base coat for best adhesion. It is compatible with standard nail polish removers for easy removal.
Care & Maintenance
- Storage: Store the polish bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent thickening or separation.
- Reapplication: For the advertised 15-day wear, remember to reapply the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat on day 7.
- Removal: To remove, simply use your preferred non-acetone or acetone nail polish remover. There's no need for soaking or scraping like with traditional gel polish, which helps protect your natural nail health.
- Shake Gently: Before use, gently roll the bottle between your palms instead of shaking vigorously to avoid air bubbles.
