Shopping Essie by formula

The Essie range here is grouped by formula rather than by season. Traditional lacquer is the brush-on polish that dries in air. Gel Couture is Essie's hybrid lacquer line. The gel range is cured rather than air dried, and Essie's own instructions cover curing and removal. The same shade name can appear on more than one formula, so check which formula a listing names before you order.

Choosing between them

Formula decides the service, not just the color. Lacquer is brushed on and dries in air, so a client can change it at home. Gel is cured and then taken off with a removal step. Whichever line you pick, follow Essie's instructions for that line on base coats, top coats, curing and removal rather than crossing systems. Lacquer top coats, gel top coats and hybrid gel-like lacquer are listed separately.

Reordering by shade code

Where a shade carries a number in its name, quote that number when you reorder. A number is easier to quote back than a name, so it is the part worth writing down. If you are matching a shade you already stock rather than shopping one brand, the color and lacquer pages are another way in.
