Is this for gel nails?

I think you can use as a base for gel nails.

Can you use this as a base before you glue nails on ?

Sorry you can not used like that

Can this be used with Essie gel couture polish and top coat?

I use it with any nail polish and have had no issues. I also use the Essie Speed Setter top coat. If you have any further questions, perhaps contact Essie.

Is Essie here to stay base coat for gel polish ? It never specifies.

I have not used it with gel polish--just regular Essie product. What I can say is it works. I have weak nails and polish used to chip--using this it no longer does and it lasts.

I will always use this

I have used this for many years. Res polish is my preferred color and I rarely have days I don’t wear it. Prevents yellowing. Paired with the good-to-go topcoat, polish shines and lasts.

La meilleure base

Rien d'autre à dire, tout est dans le titre. On en revient toujours à Essie. Avec leurs produits, la manucure tient facile une semaine, voire 10 jours en restant très soignée.

Extremely long lasting

This made my nail polish last 10 days the first time I used it and 12 days the second time. They weren’t even peeling or chipping I just wanted to do a new color so they could’ve lasted longer. It is my holy grail. It is phenomenal. Highly recommend. Will never buy a different base coat
