OMG, What a Difference!

This product has been a game changer for me.I disliked painting my nails because every uneven ridge & bump was emphasized through the polish.

I LOVE the Essie line, so I decided to try the Smooth-e Base Coat. OMG, ridges & bumps completely gone! My polished nails now look smooth!

Thank YOU, Essie!

Smooths but chipped very easily

When I applied this as a base coat, it smoothed over all ridged and actually made my nail look so good. When I applied my usual nail polish afterwards, it chipped within two days. I have a go to Essie nail polish that I have been using for a while now, and I have not had an issue with chipping so fast until I applied this as a base coat. I was also the least rough on my hands during the time that I wore this base coat. It does the job, but it just needed up chipping my nail polish quicker than I excepted.

THE BEST

I have ridges on all my nails and honestly never thought anything of it. ALL I buy are Essie nail polishes and when I saw this, I thought why not! I'm so glad I did. Even with just the base on, it looks so good. I did apply about 2 coats, just because I could still feel and see the ridges after the first, but whatever amount, I think it's good!

Love this product

I got this a while ago to try because I struggle a lot with my nails and nail health. They're always so brittle and weak especially with my job. I got this product to try and it works great! My nails look so much healthier, all the dents in them have slowly gone away and my nails dont break nearly as much now!

Smooth but bubbly

I noticed that it does work but when I use with some of my nail polishes it causes it to bubble. But overall I do like it.

Game changer!

As a person who normally uses gel nail polish, you can imagine the damage and ridges in my nails. I take breaks between gel manicures to give my nails a chance to recover. Smooth-e is amazing! Fills in all the ridges left by my gel manicure. Very even surface on my nail bed. Great product!

Smoothing and good for nails

When using nail polish, it makes sense to put on a base coat before the actual polish. This one is especially great because it smooths and provides vitamins to the nails. I was worried that it would take forever to dry but it actually dried very quickly and doesn't feel too heavy. It has helped prevent staining after intense colors.

Absolutely works!

Ok so have ridges in my fingernails and toenails pretty bad. I have always tried to use a top coat to fill in them before putting on polish but it hasn't ever seemed to work. Well today I tried the smooth-e product on my toes. It worked! I didn't even put polish on because they just looked great!
