The color performs as a statement polish on its own or as a bold complement to seasonal nail art.

How does essie Mod Square achieve that smooth, salon finish?

The formula is built for even pigmentation and a glossy topcoat appearance straight from the bottle, reducing visible brush strokes. essie's proprietary brush was designed to fit nail shapes of all sizes so one coat lays down a uniform film while two coats deepen richness and durability.

• Exclusive easy-glide brush conforms to nail curvature for streak-free application.
• Highly pigmented lacquer gives strong coverage in one to two coats.
• Glossy finish minimizes the need for heavy top coats if you prefer a quick finish.

What nail prep and layering produce the best results?

Prep starts with clean, dry nails and a base coat to protect the natural nail and improve adhesion. Apply two thin coats of essie Mod Square, allowing each layer to dry briefly, then seal with a top coat and nourish cuticles with apricot oil for longevity.

• Use a base coat to prevent staining and extend wear.
• Apply two thin, even coats of Mod Square for true color payoff.
• Finish with a fast-drying top coat and a conditioning cuticle oil.

Is this polish safe for sensitive or vegan-conscious users?

essie Mod Square is vegan and formulated without eight commonly avoided ingredients, making it a solid choice for shoppers prioritizing cleaner cosmetic options. While labeled 8-free, it’s still lacquer-based—those with specific allergies should review ingredient listings or patch test.

• 8-free label excludes several commonly avoided chemicals.
• Recommended to patch test if you have known polish sensitivities.

How does this shade work with different styles and seasons?
