Smooth-E Smoothing Base Coat Nail Polish, Clear, 0.46 Ounce

The base coat helps smoothe out your nail bed and makes your nails look more professionally done. It is reasonable in price & over the long run lasts longer and protects your nails. I always do my own manicures, saving time & money. This product is by far one of the best I use.

I have very deep nail ridges and this product is perfect. I have to use two coats, but it dries very quickly and my nails are nice and smooth and ready for nail polish. Best ridge filler I have ever used. I will definitely buy again.

I’ve worn press-ons for a few years now very regularly. Even with letting my nails relax for a week between sets I have ridges and dips in my soft, flimsy nails, so no press ons for a while but I still want to paint my nails, obv. Quick google and here I am, looking for ridge filler. I don’t love Essie polish in general (I hate the brush, it’s just too thin and I literally am just now realizing I could use an old brush from a bottle I liked. Anyway—) but I decided to give it a try, and it definitely works. My nails, especially my thumbs, are puckered from the press ons pulling on them and I was able to get a very smooth set done. My fingers only took one coat but my thumbs are a mess so I did two, and they looked great. Definitely recommend and will purchase again (unless I finally just give up press-ons ha).

I use this to disguise imperfections in one damaged nail. A nice matt finish. Fills tiny ridges or marks so you can apply polish over smoothly, or leave with just a clear coat.

The Essie basecoat is great! It was fast drying – like lightning speed! It was also easy to apply and the consistency of the polish and brush were quality. I don't even register a smell with this one. The basecoat also provided a bit of shine and prepped my nails for more color application later. I am looking forward to buying the topcoat as well. I did put color on top and the polish has lasted a week now – very impressed.
