Essie Nail Polish - 413 Mrs Always Right - 13.5 ml

With proper application, including a base and top coat, Essie nail polish can last 5-7 days without chipping, depending on daily activities.

Start with clean, dry nails. Apply thin, even coats. Use a slightly larger bead of polish for the second coat if needed, and ensure smooth, fluid strokes from cuticle to tip.

Use a nail polish remover. For darker or glitter shades, an acetone-based remover or a soak-off method with cotton pads soaked in remover and wrapped around the nails for a few minutes can be more effective.

While not strictly required, a top coat is highly recommended to enhance shine, protect the color, and significantly improve the longevity of the manicure by preventing chips.

Shade names from Essie are often creative and evocative, aiming to capture a mood or style. 'Mrs Always Right' likely refers to a confident, classic, and polished aesthetic that the terracotta rose pink color embodies.

Standard nail polish is not designed to cure under a UV/LED lamp like gel polish. For best results, use standard base and top coats designed for regular nail polish.

Shake the bottle gently. If still thick, it may be old. Avoid adding nail polish thinner unless absolutely necessary, as it can alter the formula. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Ensure nails are properly prepped and smooth. Apply thin, even coats. Try picking up a slightly larger bead of polish on the brush for the second coat. Ensure the brush is loaded correctly and not overloaded or underloaded.

Make sure to use a base coat and a quality top coat. Cap the free edge of the nail by running the brush horizontally across the tip of the nail after applying color and top coat. Avoid activities that could chip the polish shortly after application.

Colors can appear differently based on natural nail color, skin tone, and lighting. View the color in natural light and consider applying two coats for full opacity as recommended.
