Base Coat Smooth-e Essie 13.5ml

Smooth-e Base Nail Coat by Essie

Is a preparatory layer applied to the nails before applying nail polish. Its primary function is to create a smooth surface for the polish to adhere to, improve the longevity of the manicure, and protect the natural nail. 

Base coats contain ingredients that help nail polish adhere better to the nail surface, reducing the chances of chipping and peeling.

Protection: Base coats form a protective barrier between the nail plate and the nail polish, helping to prevent staining and yellowing of the nails. They also provide some level of protection against potential damage from nail polish pigments.

Nail Health: Smooth-e Essie base coat is formulated with nourishing ingredients such as vitamins, proteins, and oils that promote nail health and strength.

How to use:

• Prepare Your Nails:Start by ensuring your nails are clean, dry, and free from any old polish or oils. If needed, you can gently shape and buff your nails to create a smooth surface.
• Apply Cuticle Oil (Optional): If you like, apply cuticle oil to your nail beds to moisturize and soften the cuticles. This step is optional but can help improve the overall appearance of your nails.
• Shake or Stir the Base Coat: Before applying the base coat, gently shake or stir the bottle to ensure the formula is well mixed.
• Apply the Base Coat: Open the bottle of base coat and carefully remove any excess product from the brush by wiping it against the rim of the bottle. Then, starting from the base of your nail, apply a thin, even layer of the base coat to each nail. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the nail, including the tips and sides.
• Allow to Dry: Allow the base coat to dry completely before proceeding to apply nail polish.
• Apply Nail Polish: Once the base coat is dry, you can proceed to apply your chosen nail polish color. Follow the same application technique, starting from the base of the nail and working your way to the tip.
• Finish with Top Coat (Optional): To prolong the wear of your manicure and add shine, you can finish with a layer of clear top coat.
• Final Touches: Once your nails are dry, apply a moisturizing cuticle oil or hand cream to hydrate the skin around your nails and complete your manicure.
