Updated 6/28/26 to add an image of New Highs with and without camera flash - it's the perfect summer blue. Rich, vibrant and very striking. I used three thin coats. Two gave good coverage but three gave me the depth and saturation I was looking for. I topped it with Step 2 Gel Couture top coat. I continue to be very impressed by this polish. It wears very well and the color choices for the most part are great. I wish the polish colors could all be reviewed separately because each is very different, but it's not allowed. 🤷🏻♀️ Original four star review of Strut With It - On my skin tone, 'Strut With It' is a beautiful blue based bright, mid-toned purple. It goes on smoothly and it looks good in two coats. I also used one coat of the step 2 Gel Couture top coat. Definitely don't skip that step. I have several colors in the Gel Couture line. It's so convenient to not have to use a base coat. I change my polish every 5 days, so I can't speak to durability beyond that, but it usually always still looks great whenever I remove one color to paint on the next one. ... show more

    • 1000% Recommend if you wanna feel lux without the salon // nail damage.
Color: Perfect Posture Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve never had long beautiful nails and my hands are naturally short// stubby. With that, I’m proud of how the colors make my nails look. Pro Tip: 0. Pre-wipe with polish remover 1. Push cuticles 2. Start with thin layers 3. Apply top coat :dry a little bit: 4. Go over with another thin layer for more opaque color :dry a little bit: 5. Apply top coat again for finish It helps that that top coat is quick dry// no UV cure required. Also, beautiful shine !! That’s the wonders of gel manicure!! It’s long lasting (color//high shine), more durable (less likely to chip) and feels more high quality . The odor for this isn’t as harsh as some other nail polish brands I tried which is a lot. ... show more

    • manicure lasted 7 days
Color: Tassel Free Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Essie Gel Couture is one of my most reliable nail polishes for longevity. I use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of top coat. My manicure lasts 7 days with no chipping. The color is still bright and my nails are stills shiny after 7 days. The polish dries quickly with good coverage after 2 applications. This is a nice neutral color good for all seasons. ... show more

    • Great Product!!
Color: Tassel Free Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Pros: Durable: Did not begin to chip until about day 9-10. I’m going to try a touch up and see if I can make last 2 -3 weeks. There’s a strong possibility this could work. Kept my nails strong No clumps Good bottle size Color: I bought the nude lavender (can’t remember the name exactly) and it’s a pretty nude color. It can look grayish is some lights but definitely has some nude lavender in it. If you’re not into that grayish look you might not like this. Cons: Coverage : would like if the color were a bit more saturated/higher pigment density. I put 2 coats and really needed 3 in my opinion for a deeper, more saturated color (opaque)- especially on the ends of the nail. I would love to buy an ivory or nude pink color but reviews pretty much say the color is too sheer. Would love color options to be more opaque. ... show more

This is my favorite brand of nail polish because it lasts atleast 5 days without chipping almost every time! I love the blue color for summer.

    • Doesn’t last like it should.
Color: New Highs Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This nail polish doesn’t live up to the reviews that the company says. It doesn’t last a few weeks. It almost chipped w/in a few days. The color goes on half decent that turns a real dark blue. Way darker than what the bottle looks like. I wanted to try it out but wish I didn’t now. I use Sally Hansen gels that don’t need the led lamp & keeps it color for weeks & weeks . Always buy Sally Hansen. You won’t be disappointed. ... show more
