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

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!

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 haven't seen any great results yet, but my nails were so thin it might be awhile.

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

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.

This is a thick gel polish/strengthener. It takes at least twice as long to dry/cure and only lasts about 3-4 days before it starts to chip/peel. You will need to remove and repolish more often than regular nail hardeners.

I’ve been a gel manicure regular, so this is a lifesaver in between appointments. After a week of using this, my nails feel so much healthier. It’s not greasy and works really well—I’d give it 5 stars.

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.

If you are on the fence about this product, buy it! My nails have always been thin and brittle and this nail polish has been a game changer. 2 thin coats lasts 3-4 days (I’m hard on my hands). I’ve been using this consistently for 1.5 months and my nails have never been healthier. They grow long and no longer split/crack. It does have a strong smell but it disappears after the polish has dried. I would highly recommend and will be repurchasing.

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!
