Essie Nail Polish - Aruba Blue

Essie Aruba Blue has a distinctive frosty, metallic shimmer finish.

Two thin coats are generally recommended for full opacity and the best representation of the color and finish.

Yes, Essie Aruba Blue is described as a salon pedicure favorite, indicating its suitability for professional use.

Like most nail polishes, it has a typical solvent scent common to these types of products.

With proper application, including base and top coats, Essie nail polish can typically last several days without chipping.

While it can be applied under a gel top coat for added durability, it is designed to be used with standard nail polish top coats.

Use a standard nail polish remover. For best results, soak a cotton pad and hold it on the nail for a few seconds before wiping away.

Ensure you are applying thin coats. If the polish has become too thick in the bottle, add one or two drops of nail polish thinner (not remover) and roll the bottle between your hands to mix.

Use a quality base coat and top coat. Ensure the free edge of the nail is capped with both base and top coat. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged water immersion without gloves.

Apply polish in thin, even strokes. Avoid overworking the polish. Ensure each coat is adequately dry before applying the next. A smooth, sweeping motion from cuticle to tip is recommended.
