Overview
A home manicure table gets a strengthener and a colour in one bottle with this essie polish. The cream lilac formula carries collagen and camellia extract and goes straight onto bare nails, with no separate base or top coat.
Combining a nail treatment with a soft colour saves steps for anyone trying to grow out weak nails. The routine is simple: apply, wear, remove and repeat weekly. The spec table lists base and top coat as included components, but the listing says neither is needed or supplied.
Who it's for
People nursing peeling or breaking nails who still want a hint of colour get the most from this. Those after deep, opaque shades or a multi-coat salon system will not find it here.
Pros and cons
- Strengthener and colour in one bottle
- No base or top coat required
- Collagen and camellia extract in the formula
- Soft cream lilac shade
- Needs weekly removal and reapplication
- Spec table oddly lists base and top coat
- Subtle shade, not a bold colour
Performance notes
Strengthening depends on regular use: the routine is applied to bare nails, worn, then removed and redone weekly. Two coats build the colour and the care layer together. Wear time between applications is not given, so chipping depends on your nails and daily use.
