    • Perfect polish
Color: Caviar Bar Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One of the best nail polishes I’ve ever used, color is beautiful, glides on so smooth and effortlessly, and with a top coat doesn’t chip for up to a week. Very impressed, will alway buy this color and this brand when I run out

    • Love it
Color: Cut Loose Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the color and the thickness of the polish. You have to apply twice to get the right color, but it dries quick so you don't need a lot of skill to apply it neatly.

    • Long-lasting, easier than gel
Color: Tassel Free Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lasted much longer than regular nail polish and was a lot easier to use than gel. There is no UV device required. It removes easily with nail polish remover.

Wow. This stuff is legit! Day 10 & still going. Gel manicures ruined my nails so I will never do them again. But regular polish, even expensive enamel, never makes it to day three. By the second day, it’s chipping and peeling, and looks horrible. I’m just in water too much, using my nails for everything, so it is not worth the trouble. BUT… I put this stuff on and 10 days later it still looked pretty good! It’s unbelievable. It didn’t start really coming off until I took it off. In the picture you can see a little wear at the ends of my nails and around the cuticles, where I picked at it. Also, the color - Perfect Posture, was a little too shockingly white-ish purple (Halloweenie, according to my son and friends), so I mixed in a little of a mauve Essie color called Take Me To Thread, also an Essie gel couture color. Other than prep my nails really well, the only other thing I did was add an extra topcoat on day three, thinking I might be able to get four or five days out of it. I never imagined I would get 10 days! No lie, people. This stuff is a game changer. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, I’m wearing polish again. My new favorite right now is a color called Tassel Free. Also including a picture of that on day 3 after application. (No 2nd topcoat). ... show more

    • Love essie
Color: Strut With It Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I will never get gel nails again because they ruin your natural nail. The polish is long lasting with the base coat and top coat.

    • Nice Color, But Needs Extra Coat for Full Coverage
Color: Perfect Posture Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Review Image by beth r
This is a decent nail polish overall. The color is exactly as expected, which is always a plus when ordering online. I applied two coats, and while it looked okay, it wasn’t quite as opaque as I’d like. For a fully solid, even finish, I think three coats would work better. The price is reasonable for what you get. I wouldn’t say I’m super impressed, but I’m not disappointed either—it’s a solid, middle-of-the-road polish that gets the job done. ... show more

Applied & results are way better than expected. Easily done. Unsure of how long it lasts but if a week is all I get, that’s awesome. Great product. Definitely buying more colors. Picture is of the green color but blue came with it. Love the results 😌
