FAQs
How do I achieve the 'glass nails' effect?
Apply two to three thin coats of Essie Glass Nails color, allowing each coat to dry completely. Thin, even coats are key to building the translucent, high-shine finish.
Is this nail polish vegan?
Yes, the Essie Glass Nails formula is vegan.
How long does the 'glass nails' effect last?
The formula is designed for 72-hour long-lasting wear and fullness. With proper application and care, including a top coat, the high-shine effect can be maintained.
What is the best way to apply Essie Glass Nails?
Use thin coats with the easy glide brush for smooth, even coverage. Start with a base coat, apply two thin coats of color, and finish with a top coat for optimal results.
Can I use this polish with other brands' base and top coats?
While Essie Glass Nails is designed to work best with essie's range of base and top coats, it may be compatible with other brands. However, using the complete essie system is recommended for the best performance and longevity.
What is the purpose of the apricot cuticle oil?
Essie apricot cuticle oil is used to moisturize and nourish the cuticles, enhancing the overall appearance and health of the manicure, and adding a final touch of shine.
How many coats are recommended for full opacity?
For a sheer 'glass' effect, two thin coats are often sufficient. If you desire more opacity, a third thin coat can be applied.
Troubleshooting
Nail polish is streaky or uneven
Ensure you are applying thin coats and allowing each layer to dry fully before applying the next. Using the easy glide brush correctly with even strokes can also help.
Polish is not drying quickly
Apply thinner coats. Consider using a quick-dry top coat or a nail drying spray designed to speed up drying time.
Manicure chips easily
Make sure to prep nails properly, use a base coat, apply thin coats of color, and seal the edges with a top coat. Ensure nails are completely dry before engaging in activities that might cause chips.
Color looks dull after application
Apply a high-shine top coat and finish with essie apricot cuticle oil to restore and enhance the glossiness.
