How long does essie - Playing Koi last?

As a creme finish, essie - Playing Koi lasts about 5–7 days chip-free with a base coat and a fresh layer of top coat every few days.

How many coats of essie - Playing Koi do I need?

Two thin coats. Creme formulas are built to be opaque, so the second coat is just for evenness.

Any regular polish remover. Press a soaked cotton pad on the nail for 10 seconds, then swipe.
