Essie Core Nail Varnish - Never Basic 13.5ml

'8-free' means the formula is made without eight specific potentially harmful chemicals commonly found in nail polish, such as DBP, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde resin, formaldehyde, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, and paraben. It also indicates the formula is vegan.

With proper application (including base and top coats) and care, Essie nail polish can last up to 7 days without significant chipping or fading.

Yes, Essie nail polish is suitable for use on all nail types, including artificial nails like acrylics or gels.

For best results, it is recommended to apply two thin coats of the nail polish. This ensures full, even coverage and optimal color intensity.

The exclusive easy glide brush is designed to pick up the right amount of product and spread it evenly across the nail, allowing for a quick, professional, and streak-free application.

Store your Essie nail polish upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure to tightly seal the cap after each use to prevent the polish from drying out.

Like most nail polishes, Essie 'Never Basic' has a distinct odor due to its solvent-based formula. However, the formula is designed for a pleasant application experience. Ensure good ventilation when applying.

This can happen if the bottle has been open for a while or exposed to air. Avoid adding thinner unless absolutely necessary, and even then, use sparingly. Ensure the cap is sealed tightly after each use. If it's very old, it may be time to replace the polish.

Ensure the brush is loaded with an adequate amount of polish, but not too much. Use smooth, even strokes from base to tip. Applying in thin coats and allowing each to partially dry before the next can help. Ensure the nail surface is smooth.

Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Use a quick-dry top coat or a drying drops product. Minimize activity with hands until polish is fully hardened.

Ensure you are applying at least two full coats of color. Verify that you are using a base coat, as some darker colors may appear less vibrant on a bare nail. Use an opaque formula like 'Never Basic' which is designed for full coverage.
