Can you use this between coats of polish and not just the top coat please?

Does it seal in the nail polish?

It does! My self manicures last about 6 days with it

Is this formaldehyde free?

No where on the bottle does it mention formaldehyde. As a strengthener I find quite good

Does it come with the dropper please?

Hi Chelle, thank you for your question. This product does come with a dropper. Team Essie x
