Product Information

Correct & protect. If you love the look of natural nails but suffer from staining, apply essie colour corrector for nails. This primer optically neutralizes yellowness of the nail and leaves the nail with a healthy glow. Wrap the tips. Cap and seal the free edge to prevent chipping and shrinkage at the tip of the nail. To do this, remove most of the polish from the brush, then tap it across the free edge of the nail. Do this for every layer—base, both color coats, and top coat. This will “wrap” the free edge of the nail in longer-lasting color. For very short nails or little to no free edge, capping and sealing may be difficult. We understand often you may collect nail polishes, however for best results, we recommend that polishes be replaced after 24 months of use.
