Review: I love Essie base coat, polish, and top coat so much that I take my own to the salon when I get a manicure. These products are such beautiful quality that I never want to use any other products on my nails. Most nail products contain many harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. These harmful ingredients are absorbed into our bloodstream. Essie does not contain these harmful ingredients, so they are much safer to use. I'm very happy with how long my manicure lasts. Essie products make my nails stronger and healthier than any other product. And this product is vegan. Review: I am one of those people that has always suffered from weak brittle nails my whole entire life. I work in an office so I am constantly always banging my nails onto shelves, cupboards, table edges and even carrying boxes so they are extremely vulnerable to breaking and chipping! I tried this Essie Grow Stronger Base coat and it's been holding up well so far! I put two coats on my nails and they feel extremely hard and not flimsy. I really enjoyed using this nail polish. I would definitely would recommend this nail polish if you are looking for stronger, healthier nails. I also love that the nail polish goes on extra smooth and drys fast. There is hardly any smell like other nail hardeners and best of all, it's from the brand I love the most. I am one happy camper and I've got stronger nails now! ## Features - our champion of strengthening, essie strong start base coat - our new strength building formula for the art of the manicure, perfected ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KYNY7C4 | | ASIN | B07KYNY7C4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,625 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) #674 in Nail Polish | | Brand Name | Essie | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,488) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,488) | | Date First Available | 6 June 2019 | | Included Components | Coat, Base | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Weight | 60 Grams | | Item model number | 0095008031422 | | Liquid Volume | 13.5 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | AmazonUs/LOS8N | | Manufacturer | AmazonUs/LOS8N | | Manufacturer Part Number | 598 | | Model Number | 0095008031422 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 8.8 x 4.7 x 8.8 cm; 60 g | | Size | 13.60 ml (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Toxin Free | | UPC | 095008031422 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Essie - **Item form:** Gel - **Item weight:** 60 Grams - **Liquid volume:** 13.5 Milliliters - **Specialty:** Toxin Free ## Images ![Essie (Strong Start Base Coat) - Strong Nail Treatment, Start, 0.46 Fluid Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WpNODapAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does someone have feedback on how to remove this kind of manicure?** A: Essie Gel-setter comes off just like normal nail polish would with nail polish remover. If you have a salon gel mani then you should go to the salon to have it removed. There are at home tricks but you need to be careful not to mess up your nails **Q: Can you use it over a french manicure? Will it prevent yellowing?** A: Yes, you most definitely use it over any color. I have used it over french manicures, reds, neutrals, etc. and I've never experienced any yellowing with my nail color. One thing I can say, is it definitely works better with other Essie nail polishes...absolutely no chipping! However, it still prevents major chipping with other brands and prolongs the nail color. **Q: I prefer clear polish. Can this be used by itself or with only a base coat?** A: I do not see why you could not use it by itself. I do on occasion just use a base coat and then top with the gel setter, mainly because I have a base coat that I like so I do not polish my nails without it. **Q: Is this polish easily removed with regular polish remover?** A: Yes it removes easily with regular nail polish remover. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***3 on 2 November 2025* I love Essie base coat, polish, and top coat so much that I take my own to the salon when I get a manicure.

I do not see any evidence of yellowing and it has stayed on my nails for several days. It seems to have decreased the amount of splitting and breaking my nails are suffering from. The polish base goes on smoothly and easily. It is light and adds a thin coat of protectant to my nails. I am pleased with this purchase and I believe the value for the cost is worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - essie Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Strong Start Base Coat, strengthening nail polish, 0.46 fl oz - essie Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Speed Setter Top Coat, quick-dry nail polish, 0.46 fl oz - essie Nail Care, Salon-Quality Longwear Top Coat, 8-Free Vegan, Stay Longer, 0.46 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/315561610-essie-strong-start-base-coat-strong-nail-treatment-start-0](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/315561610-essie-strong-start-base-coat-strong-nail-treatment-start-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
