Quick Easy Perfection
(Good As New Nail Perfector) I usually just throw on 1 coat of this to my bare nails and it is enough to make them look healthy and natural in a truly perfect way. I think 2 coats might provide too much color for what I want with this. I’m impatient and messy when I paint my nails so this is great for me. Easy application, perfect natural results. I’d be curious to see what other tones might look like but in stores so far I’ve only come across this one.

Perfect for my needs!
I work in retail, and usually I just throw on a top coat and call it a day. I don't have the patience for nail polish (even the so-called "quick dry" ones), and I'm not spending money on a manicure that will absolutely not be able to keep up with my job. My top coat was running out, so I was looking for a new one when I found this. Personally, having used it for several weeks now, I've noticed less white spots in my nail beds (though could be unrelated). I love that it dries in actual seconds, it makes mess-ups easy to fix. And to that end, I also like how the demi-matte finish is translucent enough to not draw crazy attention to my hands, but matte enough to hide little imperfections that I can't be bothered to fix lol.

Makes my nails look stained!
This product actually makes my nails look stained. It looks like I have just taken off red fingernail polish. And the matte finish adds to that effect. I even put a high-shine topcoat on (as seen in photo) but that didn’t help. I threw this in the trash.

Disappointment
I really don't know what this product is for. After using the 'Bordeaux' shade for weeks and having long, healthy, and beautiful nails, I decided to try 'Ferris of Them All'. After the first application, my nails started changing in quality. After two weeks of use, all my nails developed vertical ridges, and the tips of my nails started peeling uncontrollably. I trimmed my nails and began using 'Good As New' – the experience has been awful! My nails are in even worse condition, it feels like I applied the strongest acid, it would have done less damage than this 'Good As New' treatment! My experience with Essie so far has been varied. Some polishes are fantastic and don't damage the nail, while others I can't use (they start drying out and damaging the nail plate), so it's clear that the ingredients differ. I would love for someone from Essie to explain what might be the issue, so I would know what to avoid in the future. In short, based on my experience, 'Good As New' only causes damage and no benefit.

Not for me.
Don’t feel this worked for me. The application is nice and my nails appear smooth with the product on, but it chips off. Does not last a week . With multiple attempts and applications, my nails are still brittle and flaky.

Great for stronger nails
It made my nails stronger and healthier, but the color is not as natural as I expected, I probably like a bit more shine

this is the best nail polish i have ever used.
this is the best nail polish i have ever used. i would spend ten times the amount for this. i recieved so many compliments on my nails and it doesnt chip for so long, and i sew and work on my car and it does not budge. 1 layer is sheer, 3 gives a full nude pink natural look to your nails. WOW it is so good. i wish there was more colors with the same formula. this is the nail polish i have been looking for my whole life. i am so impressed. it doesnt look like i am wearing nail polish it just looks like i have perfect natural nails even more perfect than imaginable.

Not bad, not great
This polish has helped my nails grow longer, but it hasn’t helped with ridges or with strengthening them. I would say it fulfills half of what it promises. The matte pink is a little strange. You have to be careful not to paint it on too thick or it looks like the color of bubblegum.

Great product
Love this product! My nails constantly chip and peel, so I was looking for something to strengthen them-this is IT! It’s a light, matte pinkish, and I can layer as needed. This barely chips, even though I do a lot of yard work and hand washing. My nails are finally growing!

Apply thin coat
This nail perfector is works very well for me- I keep my nails on the shorter side, and I wear them naturally, but gardening and dishwashing are hard on them. In my experience, this product helps repair mild imperfections and provides some protection from further damage. My advice: One thin coat is all you should apply. Additional coats look chalky and chip. The thin coat wears down naturally; it's almost imperceptible.

Way too pink
So you discontinued the excellent, highly recommended Smooth-E base coat and replaced it with a product that has nearly the same ingredients, plus a bunch of pink dye? This is discrimination against people with yellow undertones to their skin.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 11 months ago
Hi there Elfman. We're sorry to hear you miss the Smooth-E base coat. Unlike that base coat, the Good As New Nail Perfector is a wear alone treatment and is not made for use under nail enamels. For a similar wear alone treatment with no pigment, try the "hard to resist advanced nail strengthener". https://www.essie.com/nail-care/treatment/hard-to-resist-advanced-nail-strengthener

Great stuff
I’m 60 years old and have had a lifetime of peeling nails that chip easily. I bought this on a whim and I’m thrilled! Usually nail polish peels off within a day or two, but this has stayed on for a week with no loss of color. I’ve had no chips or peeling during that time. Highly recommend for those with brittle nails. My only wish is all nail polish had this formula.

Highly recommend - hid damage from SNS
I had ridges in my nails from months of doing SNS back to back. Two layers of this as a base coat, plus 2 coats of color and 1 top coat nearly fully camouflaged the ridges. I tried so many similar products from other brands first but none worked their magic quite like this one!
