The Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in "Bodice Goddess" is engineered for superior performance, offering a durable, high-shine finish. Its Flex E Gel Technology helps the polish move with your nails, significantly reducing chips and breaks, making it ideal for daily wear and special occasions. The Triple Shine Complex ensures a radiant, glass-like luster that catches the light beautifully, giving your manicure a luxurious, salon-fresh appearance. The patented swirl stem brush is a key component for user-friendly application, allowing for precise, streak-free coats. For optimal results, apply two thin coats, allowing each to dry slightly before the next. This polish is perfect for those who desire the look and longevity of a gel manicure without the commitment of UV lights or complex removal processes.
To achieve the best results with your Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish:
Prepare Nails: Ensure your nails are clean, dry, and free of any oils or previous polish. Gently push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface if desired for better adhesion.
First Coat: Apply one thin, even coat of "Bodice Goddess" to each nail, using the patented swirl stem brush for smooth coverage. Ensure you cap the free edge of the nail.
Second Coat: Allow the first coat to dry slightly (it should be tacky to the touch). Apply a second thin, even coat to deepen the color and enhance durability.
Top Coat (Recommended for System): While the polish itself offers great shine and wear, for the full Essie Gel Couture system experience and maximum longevity, it is generally recommended to follow with a compatible Essie Gel Couture Top Coat (not included in this product's description).
This nail polish is designed for use on natural fingernails. It works best when applied to clean, prepared nails to ensure maximum adherence and wear.
Polish Bottle Care: Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use and store it upright in a cool, dark place to prevent the polish from thickening or drying out.
Manicure Care: To prolong the life of your manicure, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive water. Wear gloves when performing household chores to protect your nails.
