Essie Nail Polish - Eternal Optimist 023

'Eternal Optimist' is a warm, soft rose pink shade that offers a classic and elegant look.

With proper application and the use of a base and top coat, essie nail polish can last several days without chipping, often 3-5 days depending on wear.

While not specifically marketed as quick-dry, applying thin coats and using a quick-dry top coat can help reduce overall drying time.

Use a base coat, apply thin, even coats of polish, allowing each to dry slightly before the next, and finish with a good quality top coat. The specially designed brush aids in precision.

Standard nail polish is not compatible with gel top coats. For a gel-like finish, use a traditional top coat or consider a gel polish system.

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and thickening.

Ensure the cap is tightly sealed when not in use. If thickened, you can add a drop or two of nail polish thinner. Do not use acetone, as it will break down the formula.

Apply thinner coats and ensure each coat is dry before applying the next. The specially designed brush can help achieve smoother strokes with practice.

Ensure nails are properly prepped (clean and dry), use a base coat and a top coat, and allow adequate drying time between coats and after the final application. Avoid harsh activities immediately after application.

Gently wipe excess polish from the brush against the neck of the bottle. If bristles are significantly splayed, try soaking the brush tip in nail polish remover briefly and then cleaning with a lint-free wipe.
