  • Love this set!
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Absolutely love this set. 2 coats of the pink creates the perfect soap nail look and the top coat dries it down and locks it in so fast. I easily get 10+ days of wear too. I will be purchasing more colors.

  • Buttery smooth gorgeous colors and a dream to paint on!
Color: Vi Please Size: 0.46 Fl Oz
V I Please #304 is an absolutely gorgeous, rich saturated beautiful cool toned red raspberry pink color. It's so flattering. The formula is buttery smooth and it glides on like a dream. The brush is amazingly efficient and it makes polishing so simple. It does all the work for you, just glide the brush down the nail and the coverage is instantly perfect. It's really wonderful. My entire manicure took me 15 minutes in total to paint on two coats of (step 1) color, then five minutes wait time, and then one coat of the Gel Couture (step 2) topcoat. It was completely dry to the touch a few minutes later. It looks so glossy and shines like glass. I am honestly blown away by this line of polish. I have used some of the best brands available in my decades as a licensed professional cosmetologist and this one rivals them all. In my opinion, it's beyond fantastic. Updated 4/9/26 to add a pic of "You Can-Dy It" - it's a gorgeous rose-pink-coral kind of mix that reminds me of spring flowers. So easy to paint on and so pretty! ... show more

  • This works for recovering damaged nails and I'm not lying.
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
THE BEST IN TERMS OF LONGEVITY, EASY TO PUT ON AND TAKE OFF. PLEASE BUY THIS. In fact, I just came back to this polish after months of no use. My nails are so fragile due to fake nails for 20+ years. I'm no longer using fake nails and my real nailbeds seem permanently destroyed. This nail polish kit in fairy pink has completely solved this problem! It dries fast as well. This works perfectly. I'm so happy to be back with this solution. What to go Essie! You've figured this out so well! Thank you so much! Problem solved. ... show more

  • A Weekly Go-To with Endless Compliments
Color: The It-Factor Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Essie Gel Nail Polish is my absolute favorite and my number-one go-to—I wear it every single week. The quality is consistently excellent, with smooth application, rich color, and a polished finish that looks salon-worthy at home. The shade “It Factor” is a standout. I receive more compliments wearing this color than any other polish I own. It’s especially flattering for those with a spring or autumn color palette, and if gold tones tend to look great on you, this shade will truly bring out your best. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality gel polish with a universally flattering color, this one is a winner. ... show more

  • I really love this color
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The color is absolutely beautiful, and the top coat is very shiny and long-lasting. The only drawback is that the smell is way too strong.

  • Best top coat I ever used
Color: 01 GEL COUTURE TOP COAT Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've gone through a lot of different top coats over the years and this is the best one. It makes the nail polish last longer than anything else I've used, that's a winner to me. It also has a good shine. Unusual bottle shape is unnecessary, though, inconvenient to hold, but it is not a big deal compared to its benefits. ... show more

  • Great Quality and Long-Lasting.
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I don't like to do my nails more than once a week, and I've been very please with the results of this nail polish. It lasts for a week without many chips or scratches, is easy to put on and fast-drying. Plus I feel like it has helped my nails be stronger, with less side splits.

  • I skip the nail salon and use Essie! Best pink yet!
Color: Haute to Trot Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been using the Essie gel couture two-step nail polish for a long time now. I absolutely love it. I usually get about a week and a half of wear out of it, but that’s also with me washing a lot of dishes and my hands a lot. I love the finish of the gel colors! I absolutely love the Haute to Trot color. I got it for Valentine’s Day, and my husband said it was super feminine and pretty on me. He loved it too. It’s very easy to apply and I think it dries fairly quickly. It’s way cheaper than going to a nail salon so I just keep doing them at home. This brand has a lot of amazing colors so it’s fun to change it up often. Removal of the polish is very easy as well if you have a good nail polish remover. ... show more
