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.

Thick polish, short lasting, stays the tinyest bit tacky. Helpful yet disappointing.

After 6 months of gel use, this product is rebuilding my nails! LOVE it.

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 have really weak nails. This is the best clear coat / base coat kinda thing I’ve ever tried. It really does stay on longer than most and is thicker kinda like builder gel!!!! Def repurchasing

Love this stuff. Hardens nails and is a great transparent barely color.

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.

I really liked this formula! Took of vacation nails and was very heart broken with the technicians carelessness. I had been working so hard to keep my nails healthy. Anyway, I was very desperate and this was really nice a sealing those peeling spots and damaged areas. It’s a very thick formula. So I used two layers and polish with a top coat and it really made my nails feel thick again. Very surprised! And happy! I was religious about it for the first two months, but now I’m onto their other strengthener. With polish and top coat it lasted a week easily . Alone it only lasted a couple of days before peeling. But I am very busy with my hands.

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.

Decided to try this product to help repair my nails after damage by artificial nails. Very disappointed that this is non refundable. My nails are worse than before I used this product and will never recommend to anyone

Great gardener especially after gel nails like it’s intended for! Makes my nails grow strong
