essie nail care, UV gel damage repair treatment, to the rescue nail repair base coat, 0.46 fl oz

I am shocked at how well this worked! Felt a little gimmicky to me but thought I’d try. It works wonders!! My nails were so brittle and literally hurt after taking off gels that were on for a year but this gave them a nice protective coating and looked pretty. The light pink tint looks natural but still gives the illusion I’m up keeping my nails. I do think it helped repair them too and strengthened.

I've been using Essie's UV Gel Damage Repair Treatment To the Rescue for a few weeks, and I'm genuinely impressed. Gel manicures, leave my nails brittle, peeling, and in serious need of recovery. This treatment has made a noticeable difference — my nails feel stronger, smoother, and healthier with each use. One of the best parts? The color. It’s a perfect pale pink — clean, subtle, and elegant. It gives that "your nails but better" look, which is ideal if you're trying to give your nails a break without sacrificing a polished appearance. The finish is glossy and smooth, almost like a salon-quality manicure without the damage. Highly recommend!

Have you ever had a nail polish that you just simply aren't compatible with no matter how you prep and paint it on? That's me with this one which is such a bummer because I love everything about this polish. Unfortunately whenever I use this, I get peeling and chipping very quickly. I just don't have good longevity with this polish no matter how I prep. I think the formula just doesn't work with my nail composition. I had the same issue with another base polish that I used to use. Sometimes they just don't work. I still recommend trying this though because the color and feel is fantastic! I just wish it would last longer for my nails.

It really does work! My nails are much stronger and are not peeling.

Does an okay job of protecting natural nail between gel sessions.

I read that this was good for brittle nails and doesn't contain PVB. Polyvinyl Butyral is used for making polish stick, but it can create a bond that makes nails brittle over time. Not everyone is sensitive to PVB, but my nails are. Before using this, my nails would peel and bend using regular base coats. I apply 1 coat, let my nail dry, then a second. After that dries, I either leave it as is, because the color itself is a soft translucent pink, so it makes for a good nude nail. Or I follow up with a nail color and apply it, and my topcoat as usual. So far, I haven't had any issues with peeling. My nails immediately felt stronger underneath it and less flimsy. I'm using this as my basecoat for now with a cuticle oil until my nails grow out.

It is the very good product.

I really wanted this to work. I developed a nail glue and gel allergy, I needed to get my natural nails healthy again. I bought this and I couldn't be less disappointed. This stuff just feels off within a day, I've prepped my nails, dehydrated, put thin layers and the same peeling happens.

Seems to work, however I've only had it for a couple of weeks, not long enough to tell if it will produce the results as promised. I see that other users have given it glowing reviews, but I can't right now.

I don’t normally bother with reviews. This product is worth the hype. My nails are incredibly damaged at the moment. Weak, thin, bending, and even tears at the top. This product has made a difference in three days. So if you have damage. Keep throwing it on and cutting back your nails until the damage is gone..

This is the best polish to cover up ugly nail beds after gel removal. Perfect transparent pink and thicker consistency

Love the finish and the colour,, really seems to be strengthening my nails!

Really helps with brittle nails. I noticed less breakage after a couple of weeks. The only downside is the smell, but it works well overall.”
