Product Information
Full details
The Essence Gel Nail Polish in Midnight Magic is designed for individuals seeking a professional-grade, salon-quality manicure from the comfort of their own home. It delivers high-intensity shine, long-lasting wear, and excellent opacity in a single application; however, it requires consistent curing protocols to ensure the gel cures effectively and remains chip-resistant for the duration of its wear.

FAQs
Does this polish require a UV or LED lamp?
Yes, as a gel-based formula, it requires exposure to a UV or LED nail lamp to harden and achieve its full durability.
How do I remove the Essence Gel Polish?
Gently buff the top layer of the polish, then soak your nails in pure acetone using cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
How many coats should I apply?
Two thin coats are generally recommended for the best color payoff and durability, ensuring each coat is cured properly.
Is this polish safe for my natural nails?
When applied and removed correctly without picking or peeling the gel off, this polish is safe and does not damage healthy nails.
Can I use a different brand's top coat?
While it may work, using the manufacturer-recommended top coat is always the safest option for ensuring compatibility and shine.
Troubleshooting
Polish is peeling off after a few days
Ensure the nail plate was properly dehydrated with an alcohol wipe before applying the base coat.
Bubbles appearing in the finish
Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously; roll it between your palms instead to mix the pigments without introducing air.
Polish is too thick to apply smoothly
Store the bottle in a room-temperature environment and ensure the cap is tightened completely after every use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your nails are filed and buffed before application. Compatibility is high with standard gel base and top coats, though using a system within the same product line is recommended for optimal chemical harmony. When storing the polish, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent the formula from thickening. Always wipe the bottle neck clean after each use to ensure an airtight seal, which prevents premature drying and keeps the consistency smooth for future applications.
