Your 4-Step-Guide for a perfect finish

Prepare essence gel nail polish
1

Prep

File your nails into shape and gently push back the cuticles. Next, remove any grease from the nail surface (e.g. with oil-free nail polish remover) so that the base & colour stick better and the finish is nice and smooth.

Apply essence gel nail polish base coat
2

Base coat

Apply a thin layer of base coat. It protects the natural nail, evens out small irregularities and makes the polish last longer. Allow the base to dry well before you continue.

Apply essence gel nail polish colour

Colour

Now comes the colour polish: It is best to apply it in two thin layers. For each layer: first, apply one stroke of the brush in the middle, then on the left and right – this makes it streak-free. Leave to dry briefly between layers so that nothing smudges.

Top Coat

Finally, apply a layer of top coat to seal the colour and protect it from chipping. Tip: Gently sweep over the tip of the nail (“seal edge”) – this makes the look particularly durable and ensures a super finish.
