  • Im very impressed with Essie gel couture in Bodice Goddess
Color: Bodice Goddess Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I'm trying to grow out my damaged nails, and this has been the best at-home nail polish for me. I don't use a base coat, and although I apply several coats of Essie Gel Couture, I let each coat dry thoroughly before applying the next. So, I would say the drying time is a bit longer than regular nail polish. I didn't have the Gel Couture top coat, so I used a regular top coat I have at home instead. This worked well for me, and the polish lasts a long time on my nails with no chipping. Very pleased. The color Bodice Goddess is a light, sheer lilac shade. It is very pretty and gives my nails a clean, polished look. ... show more

  • Love it
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
My nails tend to be thin, brittle, flexible, and peel. Regular nail polish flakes off almost immediately, and I can't stand builder/UV gel because it takes too long to apply, I can't stand the growout, can't get it off, destroy my nails trying to remove it, and definitely do not have time for regular trips to a nail salon for maintenance. This two-step polish adds just enough rigidity to my nails to help avoid breakage and prevent the nail polish from flaking off when my nails bend. Yet it's easy to apply, quick to dry, looks salon-quality glossy, and is easy to remove. The Fairy Tailor is very classy--it's sheer so you get a bit of the french manicure look without the white polish-- although perhaps a bit milkier than I wanted. The product is so great I'm trying the Of Corset color next. ... show more

  • Perfect pink/purple
Color: Vi Please Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m picky about red nail polish because some shades lean too orange or too dark, but this color is gorgeous. It’s a classic bold red that makes your nails look instantly polished. I used the Gel Couture clear top coat with it and it lasted two weeks before noticeable chipping, which is impressive for me since I’m constantly typing and washing my hands. ... show more

  • Worth it!
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Seriously long lasting polish. I can get more than a week of wear, longer if I reapply the top coat. Normal polish lasted 3 to 5 days before major chipping. Wish there were even more colors but this is a classic and it stays put.

  • Dries super fast!
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I’m glad I got to try this Essie Gel Couture nail polish in Fairy Taylor. Color is milky light pink. It is not opaque, it’s more French manicure look. It took a few times to get used to it not to overwork it while applying. Less strokes is better, because if I continued doing more strokes the polish started to “tangle” and got messy. So, try not to rush, but do it quickly enough, so it doesn’t start to dry while applying it. When I did it first time, it came out a little streaky since I was rushing it a bit. Here, I did 2 layers here and 3rd layer is a topcoat. Topcoat gives a nice shine, similar to real gel. I like the nice and clean look. I am also pleasantly surprised how quickly this polish dries, so that is definitely a big plus. It dries within 10 mins (to the touch) and it’s fully dry within an hour. The only downside is it only lasts 3-4 days before it starts chipping. I am typically careful with my hands and use gloves. I typically wear this polish in this color for about 5 days before I take if off. It comes off easily with acetone free nail polish remover. ... show more

  • The Gold Standard
Color: Inside Scoop Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
When I worked I had French manicure gel nails every two weeks & my nails always looked perfect. This practice also made my nails thin & damaged over time. After I retired I tried at-home manicures but they seemed to make my nails even worse. And they didn't last more than a few days. Enter Essie gel couture gel-like nail polish. I am honestly astonished at how long my manicures last & how good they look. They look great for a solid two weeks: virtually no splitting, peeling, cracking, etc. My nails are healthier now. For me this is really a miracle nail product. Both coats are fast-drying. The high shine lasts & lasts & lasts. I recommend both of these products (color & top coat) without reservation. ... show more

  • A Great Color
Color: Sheer Fantasy Size: 0.46 Fl Oz
Essie never disappoints. The color looks great at all times on both my hands and feet. I find it resilient and long lasting.It is easily applied, forgiving with brush strokes, and dries very quickly. The color was suggested to me, and I was hesitant to try it. I am glad I did and have worn it ever since. A great choice. ... show more

  • Perfect everyday nude…. no UV lamp needed
Color: Fairy Tailor Kit Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Perfect nail polish and so easy to use. This shade is a very natural, sheer nude, gorgeous for everyday wear, though next time I’ll probably go for something more milky or pink since this one blends in so naturally. My nails also felt super strong after, and the nice part is I don’t even own a UV lamp, and they still came out great. ... show more
