This is the best nail whitener I've ever used. I've gotten so many compliments on my nails every time I've used it. I really wish it wasn't discontinued and Essie would bring it back as a permanent product. It makes my nails look so glossy, clean, and sleek!! This is probably my favorite nail product ever!!

Loving it. Makes my yellowish nails white and pretty. The effect comes off when you take it off, this is not a treatment, just a whitening base.

Comments and advertising about this product give the impression that it will actually whiten that is bleach your nails. It will not. This is important to understand. The formula has a slight whitish cast to it, meaning that when it goes on it lightens your nails slightly, simply by camoflaging/covering. In one coat the yellowing left by previous nail products is perhaps 30-40% lessened. However, when the product is removed the nails have the same degree of yellowing as when you began. So there is no bleaching effect.All that aside, the forumula dries quickly, has a nice glossy finish and is a pleasantly neutral, very subtle colour. It's worth having for those features if you can tolerate the formaldehyde, which I can't. After a short time formulae like this weaken my nails, causing them to soften and peel dreadfully.

I don't really use this as a nail whitener, because I know that there is nothing that can really whiten your nails once they are yellow from all the mindless nail polish applications. I use it simply as a base coat, bacause I like the idea that it can prime my nails making the supface appear whiter. It performs very well, any nail polish apllied on top lasts longer and when I decide to remove it, my nails don't turn yellow any more. I would definetely recommend this as a base coat agains yellowing. Will repurchase when I run out.

I stumbled upon this at Ross, of all places! Walmart carries this brand for about $8-$9 here in Honolulu. Ross had it for $4.99, so I snatched it up.Always wanted to try the Essie brand, but could never justify spending $8 for nail polish.I absolutely LOVE this nail whitener. I recently started wearing nail polish on a consistent basis for the past 3 months. This has caused my nails to yellow and become brittle. My nails are naturallly strong, and I never had any breakage problems until this point. I decided to give my nails a break from the polish and try the whitener to see if it really worked. I was AMAZED at the results and just LOVE the natural look. With just two coats, I saw instant gratification the healthy pink natural color. Granted, it doesn't remove the yellow, but it really did lighten it alot. The coverage is heavier than clear, but not as thick as a nude colored polish (though there aren't streaks either like many light-hued polishes). I added 2 coats of Seche Clear Base Coat (my favorite) and my nailes look healthy and shiny! Gonna go back to Ross to see if they got anymore of this in so I can have back-stock!
