essie Treat Love & Color Nail Polish For Normal To Dry/Brittle Nails, Minimally Modest, 0.46 fl. oz.

This nail strengthener is the perfect product for someone who wants to grow out their natural nails, because it reinforces keratin and it helps to stop your nails from splitting and peeling. Before you buy please understand that this is a nail strengthener with sheer color, and this is not a traditional nail polish. This product is focused on nail health and the sheer coverage is only a beautiful bonus, especially for those who struggle with yellowing nails or want results with a touch of color. But with the proper technique, this sheer nail polish still looks beautiful on the nails. I recommend applying 2 thin coats on the first day, and then adding 1 thin coat each day for the next 2 days. Wear it in total for 5-7 days before removing and restarting the cycle.

I love Essie nail products & this color is one of my favorites - not my first purchasing & I will be back again! It has excellent coverage for being such a light color. If you're like me & don't like a lot of color on your nails, then this one is for you!

I really wanted to love this polish. I have other easy treat love and color strengthener polishes and I love them! This one not so much I've tried putting this on several times now and end up taking it off within the same day because it does not look like the color that is there when you do the Tryon option it is a cream which is fine with me I look forward to that but when I put it on there are constantly streakiness issues even if I do it then or if I do it thick if I do the trick of turning your fingers upside down so that evens it out nothing works there's always some spot on my nail that is not even it's not there's no coverage or there's barely any coverage so it stands out it's horrible and I don't want to do nail art to cover that up I want to be able to put my color on let it dry and go on I need my nails to be strong and healthy and I was hoping to have more than just a sheer color or just add a nice purple in and I can't do that with this I hope that they fix the formula cuz I know that there are some easy colleges that are like that their crappy their streaky and I get that but then there are some that are really nice and I wish that this was one of them you know I've even tried it on other Nails other people's fingernails just to see if maybe it was just me like maybe was a body chemistry issue no no matter what fingernails I have painted the color on it does not dry I even let my friend borrow a bottle of it to see if it would come out better and then she came back and said I'm not doing this I put it on I took it off and put it on I took it off she's like I tried acetone to see maybe if it was too much oil nothing so maybe this is a color they should take back fix the formula and then release it

4 stars only because the color is not as advertised for 60 Soul Happy. I was hoping for more of a pastel or ballet slipper pink, something similar to Essie’s shade Mademoiselle (my go-to shade when I’m not dealing with nail damage). This looked similar in the picture, but upon arrival, it’s a very pale (almost ivory) pink and it’s very pearlescent. It’s pretty and I don’t dislike it, but it isn’t the color that is shown in the photo. Applies easy, dries pretty fast, very smooth on the nails despite mine peeling. I’m going to hold onto it and keep using but the color is not as shown.

I keep my nails natural but in the winter they tend to split horizontally, and then I deal with a split nail that's too low to trim safely, and hurts until it grows back in. I've only used this polish for a few weeks and I absolutely love it! First of all it feels like my nails can breathe, which is important to me. My nails haven't really split since using it and they're growing longer than they ever have before. The color looks like natural nails only prettier, and it's sheer as long as you put on thin coats, otherwise it looks opaque and streaky. It's easy to take off, too, which they recommend each week, but I will enjoy this little ritual because this polish is so effective and pretty.

I have yet to see whether it will strengthen my terrible nails. I tried to purchase "sheers to you," but that was not available. This color seemed close, so I tried it. The product was delivered on Friday. I applied it to my nails, having waited a while between coats, because one reviewer said it took a long time to dry. I find the polish to look quite chalky, though I loved the brush. As another reviewer mentioned, it does streak a lot, but that could be my nails. I did apply three coats and it looks okay, but not great. I applied Essie Speed Setter the next morning, which gave the polish shine and it looks better. Last night, after washing dishes, I noticed that two of my nails that constantly peel, had the polish peel off at the tips of my nails. It has only been two days, so I am still crossing my fingers that it will help reduce the peeling and I will like it more then. I will update in about a month. UPDATE: It has been several months since I purchased this nail polish. I did find it in other sheer colors that work better. The good: It stays on my nails for about 4 days, which is longer than most other nail polishes. The bad: My nails are peeling every bit as much. After purchasing 4 bottles in various different colors, I am trying Julep - Take A Breather, to see if that works any better.

For easy days of not wanting to go full month on a manicure ie base coat + polish + top coat. This gives a great natural sheen, dried quickly. 2 coats followed by top coat is perfect. Great price point

Very pleased with this nail polish!
