Using a base coat and topcoat with essie’s original enamel nail polish can help improve the wear of your manicure and increase shine. A base coat can prolong the life of your manicure, prevent chipping, and nourish your nails. A topcoat can help your manicure dry faster, last longer, or create a shiny or matte texture.

You can find essie original enamel nail polish at most drug stores and cosmetic stores. You can also find e-retailers that carry essie enamel nail polish right here on our website.

Essie and Gel by essie are formulated without the ingredient TPO.* The use of TPO in classic nail polishes has never been permitted, therefore absent from the brand's formulas since inception.

essie original enamel nail polish typically lasts about 5-7 days with proper application. Using a base coat and sealing your manicure with a topcoat helps reduce chipping and keeps your color looking fresh.
