essie Nail Polish, Glossy Shine Sheer Pink, Hi Maintenance

Essie's Hi Maintenance sheer pink nail polish is a vegan, salon-quality, glossy nail color that delivers a delicate translucent pink and an even, long-wearing finish in a 0.46 oz bottle.

Crafted from essie's signature color library of fashion-forward shades, this sheer pink offers a buildable, glossy wash of color that flatters a variety of skin tones. The formula is designed for smooth application and professional-looking results at home or in the salon. With an easy-glide brush and a durable finish, Hi Maintenance makes subtle, everyday manicures quick and dependable without sacrificing shine.

How does this sheer pink shade look and how buildable is it?

The color reads as a light, translucent pink that enhances natural nail tones without appearing opaque. One thin coat provides a barely-there, polished sheen; two coats deepen the hue while keeping translucence; three thin coats approach richer coverage while maintaining glossy depth.

• One coat: soft, barely-there wash of pink
• Two coats: noticeable pink with natural translucency
• Three coats: richer pink while still luminous and glossy
• Top coat: increases shine and wear time

What makes the application look professional and easy?

Essie's exclusive easy-glide brush is shaped to fit any nail width, helping you lay down smooth, even strokes with fewer swipes. The formula flows consistently off the brush, reducing streaks and pooling at the cuticle, which speeds up application for salon-quality results.

• Wide, tapered brush conforms to nail size for clean strokes
• Consistent viscosity prevents streaking and clumping
• Fast leveling gives a smooth surface before drying
• Pair with essie base and top coats for best finish

How durable is the finish and what should I use to extend wear?

The glossy finish resists everyday wear when applied correctly and sealed with a top coat. Use an essie base coat to protect nails, apply two coats of the sheer pink color, and finish with an essie top coat to maximize shine and chip resistance.

• Base coat prevents staining and evens texture
• Two color coats for balanced coverage
• Top coat enhances gloss and guards against chips
• Use cuticle oil to maintain healthy surrounding skin
