  • The best nail polish and top coat system ever
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 04 ROCK THE RUNWAY
I honestly wasn't expecting much, as I've tried so many different brands and types of polish as they all let me down within a couple days. But this stuff is awesome. This is rock the runway red and the picture is about 4 full days in and I am rough on my nails. I am always cleaning and my hands are in water so much. There's just a couple tiny chips that can easily be touched up. Best part is, there's absolutely no cracking!!!! I have never had polish that didn't crack before. This is 2 coats of color and 1 of the same brand top coat. I am totally done with my nails and they are completely dry in 1 hour! The top coat is amazing and dries the tacky polish almost instantly. I love this polish. I also purchased a different color red and 2 different pinks and they are all wonderful. ... show more

  • Beautiful color, great polish
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 04 ROCK THE RUNWAY
This item arrived on time and was securely packaged. I used it on my nails and not only is it a fabulous color, but it's wearing very well.

  • Lasts long and great color
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 05 BUBBLES ONLY
My absolute favorite red for nails! Works so well as an autumn vibe but also just a general year-round classic red, have repurchased often!

  • Color was not dense & opaque, needing 2 coats
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 02 FAIRY TAILOR
I am a big fan of Esse gel polish but only gave 4 stars to this particular color because it wasn't opaque enough, thus requiring 3 coats of polish before gel coat instead of usual 2 color coats. Had it covered in 2 coats of color I would have given it 5 stars.

  • Deep Saturated Red
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 06 SPIKED WITH STYLE
Bought in person at Ulta & love color. Nice dark, saturated blood red for Christmas or Valentine's Day, any formal event. Not bright shocking red. More sophisticated red. Never cared for Essie until they came out with this Gel Couture line. With the gel topcoat lasts for several days with touchups. If you're young & hand aren't in water much, manicure will last 5-7 days easily if not hard on hands. If you're older, clean your own house, dishes, scrub pots, need touch ups. But best self manicure polish out there imo. Used to use China Glaze (was better 10 days easy) then changed formula think, or OPI, Seche. FYI top coat works with other polish also. Have tons of OPI & use top gel glaze with all. Definitely improves wear. Highly recommend this brand type & color. ... show more

  • Big Yikes!
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 04 ROCK THE RUNWAY
I’ve used Essie polish for 20+ years. From the regular to Expressie, to their various topcoats, base coats, glitters, cuticle oils, and gel polishes, I’ve tried it all. This polish is not worth $12/bottle. This specific polish chips off within a day. Base coat, two coats of color, and the gel top coat, it chips off. In fact, if you use the gel topcoat as a base coat you can actually just peel the full nail’s worth of polish off. This does not have the longevity of an authentic gel manicure. Second, as you can see from the photos, it stains — bad. This is the worst my nails have ever been stained by a nail polish and I had it on for five days. The only places it didn’t stain are the spots I peeled off. This is after two rounds of pure acetone polish remover. I’m a huge fan of reds — my all time favorite Essie polish is Clambake or Really Red. THEY don’t even stain this bad. I have no idea how to get this off my nails and will probably repaint them with something lighter while this grows out. For how much it costs & the fact that I’m throwing it in the garbage after one use, I expect better from Essie. This definitely has me rethinking any more vibrant colors. ... show more

Beautiful nail polish. Absolutely love the color and the coverage. It lasts about 5 days before it starts to chip. I will definitely buy again.
