Smooth-e Base Coat curated on LTK

I struggle with some serious ridges on a few nails. I’ve found that layering a coat of this over a coat of Essie Here to Stay provides the smoothest most long lasting foundation possible.

Here To Stay Base Coat | Ulta

This isn't the type of shade I typically reach for, but this one is just SO pretty with the shimmer and it feels just perfect for fall! ✨

If you were to ask me my top 10 essie polishes, this would be one of them. I love the shade. I love the shimmer. The formula is perfect. 👖✨

A juicy raspberry crème with a flawless formula! 🫶 ‣ NOTE: This line, though called gel couture, is NOT gel. It requires no light to cure and removes easily.

This polish is a stunner! It’s so much better in person… so rich and sparkly! Capturing all the sparkle in a photo was a challenge. ✨🫠

I love that this shade changes depending on the lighting… sometimes a little cooler and brighter and sometimes warmer and darker. It is a perfect example of how lighting, cameras, angles, skin tone, etc can make a polish look different.

‣ NOTE: This line, though called gel couture, is NOT gel. It requires no light to cure and removes easily. I also still use a base coat though essie says a base coat is not required.

If this topper doesn’t look like fallen leaves, I don’t know what does! The flakes change colors over each shade and in different lighting. So so pretty!! 🍂 I’ve layered it here over the prettiest brown from one of my favorite lines.

I was chasing the sun trying to get pictures, but I think you can see the gorgeous subtle red shimmer in this dark blue that makes it extra special. Not to mention, the formula is P.E.R.F.E.C.T. 🌟

I’ve had a handful of questions recently about the top coat I use. I rotate through a few, but this is the one I reach for most often. (Color is linked too!)

The shimmer in this purple is so pretty! It does show brush strokes, but a careful application can minimize those or you can lightly sponge a little over the top for a more refined finish (which is what I’ve done here).
