Essie Nail Polish Treat Love Colour 90 On the Mauve TLC Care Nail Polish 13.5ml

Having a break from gel polishes I wanted a nail polish that wouldn’t chip without having to take special measures; lazy I know. I came across this and thought I’d try this as I do like Essie polishes and have used them in the past. The fact it claims to treat my nails as well as provide colour is a bonus. It’s quite thin to apply but with 2/3 coats you get a good coverage. Dries quickly and a few days in and there’s not a chip in sight. My nails feel harder and stronger wearing the polish but I’m not sure how they will feel without. Will definitely try more coloursUpdate: this is the only nail polish that has withstood the rigours of washing up without gloves (I know, I know) baking and housework without chipping. I took the polish off ready for the new colours I’ve ordered. My nails feel strong and look healthy too.

I just wanted to write an honest review of the TLC Care Nail Varnish according to my own experience: I was looking for something to protect my natural nails after having finally removed my Christmas manicure of dip and gel. Because this had half grown out during lockdown, the bottom half of my nail was very healthy but the tips looked slightly weakened and I knew that if I didn’t manage to protect them, I would lose all the length. I saw this nail polish and for the price I thought it was worth a punt. I’m so glad I did! Not only do I love the colour - On the Mauve - which is a lovely dark grey/mauve neutral, but the polish goes on beautifully and my nails feel and look healthy and strong. We are all different and this may not work quite as well for some, but I am so pleased with the overall effects that I am going to buy more in different colours - highly recommended!

Goes on smoothly but needs 3 coats, that said looks nice when on. Can't comment on the treatment side as it's only the second day of wear.

Lovely colour. Fast dry.

This nail polish chips easy.Made my nails weaker

Excellent item. Love it! Colour is faithful, easy to apply and my nails are really stronger, and longer!

I love Essie nail polishes and use them all the time as I think the colours are great and the quality is good.I bought this because my nails started chipping along the top (sort of flaking). Reading the reviews I thought this would help. A month on and my nails haven’t improved. So disappointed in that respect.However, the colour is lovely and you can layer up to have a very subtle transparent effect or a full pastel cover. Still use it. Still like it. Just isn’t getting my nails better. 😞

On arrival I thought I would have to do a good few coats to see the colour come through but Essie surprised me again with the beautiful quality and thickness of the varnish. It has really helped strengthen my nails and provide everyday protection. I am pretty rough on my nails and even still the varnish lasted a week once applied.
