ridge filler definitely works

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2024

Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: SMOOTH-e BASE COATVerified Purchase

I’ve worn press-ons for a few years now very regularly. Even with letting my nails relax for a week between sets I have ridges and dips in my soft, flimsy nails, so no press ons for a while but I still want to paint my nails, obv. Quick google and here I am, looking for ridge filler. I don’t love Essie polish in general (I hate the brush, it’s just too thin and I literally am just now realizing I could use an old brush from a bottle I liked. Anyway—) but I decided to give it a try, and it definitely works. My nails, especially my thumbs, are puckered from the press ons pulling on them and I was able to get a very smooth set done. My fingers only took one coat but my thumbs are a mess so I did two, and they looked great. Definitely recommend and will purchase again (unless I finally just give up press-ons ha).

Works wonders

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024

Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: NEUTRALIZE & BRIGHTENVerified Purchase

The Neutralize & Brighten works wonders for the nails. Put it under your colour or use it by itself, either way it does what it says it will- it brightens yellowing nails and provides some level of support and protection!
This is always my go-to base coat.

Essie hard to resist - glow and shine

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024

Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified Purchase

I have no idea how this nail polish stayed on my nails the first week I used it. I use a lot of sanitizer and other solvents at work. Usually, I wear gloves but inevitably it will touch my skin and nails. It did not budge and I was impressed!

However, the following weeks it just flaked off my nails every 2 to 3 days. I can't take stars off, tho. It is not as durable as I thought, but it still hardens the nails and conditions them thoroughly. No complaints.

I use essies hard to resist to maintain and enhance my nail health and it does a fantastic job.

The product is hot pink in the bottle but on the nails it's only a hint of sheer color. I usually add a coat every 2 to 3 days to maintain the shine after the initial application of 2 coats. 4 coats is visibly pink but not overbearing, just not natural anymore. If you flood your cuticles they will look bloodshot after multiple coats.

Nails are harder, not bendy and grow without splitting or peeling. I love it. You can still break your nails by being careless.

Don't forget to moisturize your hands and nails regularly, because no polish on this planet can counteract the damage of dried out crumbly nails and cuticles.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024

Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified Purchase

I think it’s working to make my nails a little sturdier. It’s a little thicker than I expected. It’s very, very shiny, and the pink color is very sheer. You have to apply it carefully, it’s more like a sheer polish than a transparent care product. It takes a while to dry smudges easily. I haven’t tried putting polish on top so I can’t speak to that, but when applied carefully it looks nice on bare nails. It chips after a few days, so you have to remove it before adding a new coat.

So my cheap nail polish collection is not the most durable. This stuff makes my garbage polishes last 3x longer. PLUS I have really dry, flaky, peely nails. And this stuff really helps seal in my nails so they're less breaky. I bought one and then bought a second one to keep at work. And then bought another one to send to a friend. Like.... Buy this.

Great Buy!

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2024

Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GOOD TO GO TOP COATVerified Purchase

I'm super impressed with this nail polish. I didn't have time to get my nails done before going on vacation, and I was headed to a very humid climate where it takes forever for nail polish to dry when doing them at home. This is the exception. My nails were completely dry within minutes. I also am always the one to ruin nail polish right away, and there was not smudging hours later with this. It also lasted impressively long - almost a week with minimal chipping!
