Perfect shade

This is the perfect shade of clear pink. There are so many colors like this that are too pale or too red. This one is clear with pink so it looks great.

Fast drying and gel-like shine
4 months ago
I love this nail polish! It actually dries so fast, which makes it perfect when I’m in a rush. I can apply it just minutes before leaving the house and not worry about smudging. The pigment is great and gives full color in just one swipe. It also gives a really pretty gel like manicure look. Even without using a top coat, it lasted about two weeks on me, which really impressed me.

Trendy look for the fraction of the cost
4 months ago
I love how this trendy salon look can be easily executed at home with Essie Glass Nails. I applied it on my nails after I did gel nails and that shine just gives it life instead of it looking brittle and dull. The glass nail look makes it look like the nail polish was just applied, it looks wet so you can’t tell if it already dried up.

The Essie glass nail polish has a with application. I like to use 2 coats for a sheer pink color. I use a top coat to prolong my manicure and it lays about 5 days.

This Essie Nail Art Studio Glass Nails Nail Polish is absolutely breathtaking. The nail polish glides on so smoothly. Its shiny appearance really makes your nails look like they’re glass coated. Long wear; long lasting with even coating. You can layer on the coats to deepen the color. It is my absolute favorite nail polish now. I love it.
