The Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in '50 Stitch by Stitch' is engineered for easy at-home application while delivering salon-quality results. Its unique flex.e gel technology allows the polish to adapt to your nail's natural movement, providing exceptional chip resistance. The triple shine complex ensures a brilliant, glass-like finish that enhances the appearance of your manicure. For best performance, apply thin, even coats using the patented swirl stem brush, which is designed for precise and controlled application. The polish dries without the need for a UV lamp, making the process quick and convenient. To extend wear up to the promised 15 days, consistently reapply the Essie Gel Couture top coat at day 7. This maintenance step rejuvenates the protective layer and boosts shine, keeping your manicure looking fresh longer. This system is ideal for achieving a durable, high-gloss manicure that withstands daily activities without the commitment or specialized removal of traditional gel polishes.
Getting a flawless, long-lasting manicure with Essie Gel Couture is a simple two-step process:
Prepare Your Nails: Ensure your nails are clean, dry, and free of any oils or previous polish. Gently push back cuticles and shape your nails.
Apply Color: Apply two thin, even coats of Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in '50 Stitch by Stitch'. Allow each coat to dry to the touch before applying the next. The patented swirl stem brush is designed for optimal coverage.
Apply Top Coat: Finish with one coat of Essie Gel Couture Top Coat (sold separately). This top coat is crucial for activating the long-wear and high-shine properties of the system.
Top Coat: This polish is designed to work exclusively with the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat for optimal wear and shine. Other top coats may not deliver the same performance.
Removal: Compatible with standard acetone or non-acetone nail polish removers. No special soaking or scraping is required.
UV/LED Lamps: This product does not require a UV or LED lamp for curing.
Reapply Top Coat: To extend wear and maintain shine, it is recommended to reapply a thin coat of the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat at day 7.
Storage: Store the nail polish bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent thickening or discoloration.
Shelf Life: Like all nail polishes, the formula can thicken over time. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
