        I loved

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only have praise for this nail polish, the color is intense and gives a perfect look, I like the fact that it dries super fast, something that is very important, it has a durability that I did not find in others, I am one of the people I always am washing dishes, and constantly wetting my hands and the manicure hardly lasts, but with this I could see that despite my daily tasks I still have it intact, I had heard that this brand was good but today I have checked, it is easy to apply , and I have to emphasize that the instant drying plus the durability are undoubtedly the best that this one hundred percent recommended product has

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Beautiful color

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this Essie Chevron Trend Gel Couture nail polish. The color is really rich & vibrant. It's a really bold color that stands out. Not in a loud way , in a nice subtle way. I absolutely love how quickly this nail polish dries. So I don't have to worry about smudges. And I really like how it makes my nails look. Especially after applying a nice clear coat on top. There's no chipping or color fading. The quality of this nail polish is Excellent. I like the Essie brand itself. They have some of the best nail polish colors. I highly recommend them.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Awesome nail polish

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried shade 258 electric geometric and 295 chevron trend. I love both, they’re bright, vibrant and fun. The rounded brush makes it easy to apply, it air dries very quickly and I only needed one coat. The top coat gives it very nice lustrous finish. They really last longer than regular nail polish, I didn’t have any chips for a few days with heavy use, dishwashing, cooking, cleaning etc they started to gently rub off at the edges but didn’t chip and start peeling.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Awesome nail polish!

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is awesome! I've been trying to keep my nails painted and find that getting it professionally done gets expensive. This is a great alternative. The colors are great and the way the color lays is great. I have ridges and find that it filled it in well. Also, the width of the brush made it easier to paint, which led to less mistakes. The top gel coat helped, as well.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Gorgeous Essie Gel Couture!

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this polish! The colors have a lot of depth, it dries mulch faster than regular polish and it’s a breeze to remove. The nail polish stays shiny and really doesn’t chip unlike what other long lasting nail polishes claim. Essie had long been one of my favorite nail polish companies and they’ve hit another home run with the Pattern Play collection.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        So chic

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this threesome of nail polishes because I was sick of the color I’d been wearing and needed a fresh shake up. These came in and I was immediately impressed with the cool sleek design of the bottles. I found the applicator brush to be very well made too. I then applied the gel top coat. My nails lasted three days longer than they usually do! I love these!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Better than salon quality

        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh my god you seriously don’t need to own any other brand of polish of any other kind of equipment this gave me the salon gel finish look in under 5 minutes it dries extremely quickly. It also has like immense strength I was at least two loads of dishes daily and it doesn’t chip or fade at all when used with too cost it last even longer

        The best nail polish

        4 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite nail polish. The regular polish doesn't stay on my nails long so this type is the only one I use since it can stay up to a week depending how much I do with my hands. Great quality, top coat that you have to use with it gives that shine to your manicure and protects it. I highly recommend.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

          best nail polish

          4 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought Essie Gel Couture Chevron Trend nail polish. I really like the coverage. It is really easy to use. You just apply two coats, and then the top coat. You don't have to use a dryer. It dries really quickly and looks great. I highly recommend it, and I will definitely be buying more colors.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          Pretty Good

          4 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally only put on the color (not the top coat) and the nail polish chipped within a few days, so I reapplied it and added the top coat. It's been almost 4 weeks and I only experienced minor chipping (except for one finger on my left hand (not pictured) I would recommend this if you like the color.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          My signature color

          3 years ago
          I absolutely love how this nail polish looks on me. It is easy to apply. It takes a while to completely dry but that’s expected from a nail polish like this. The color is brown but more on the purple side. It’s definitely more or a cool colored brown.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Chevron trend is a very nice nail polish. The colors are super cute and dry super fast which is a really good quality in a nail polish because I tend to stick my nails everywhere. The colors are vibrant, classy. Can be use for any occasions.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          4 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel polish and this is one of my favorites! It’s very easy to apply and goes on smoothly. Only downfall of this polish is that it doesn’t stay on very well. On day 3 it was already starting to chip off, but I do wash my hands a lot.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful fall/winter colors. I love Essie gel products because they last long but you don’t have the commitment of a real gel where you have to scrape it all off. The top coat gives a beautiful shiny finish and dried quickly!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The colors are very vibrant and go for any occasion or no occasion at all. They're fun colors and give a nice, even, shiny coat. The bottles even look cool. When you add the top coat, they last a good while.

          Hello there Missymay, thank you for sharing your experience with the gel couture "chevron trend". We love hearing this longwear nail color looks great and wears so well for you. This longwear formula goes on bare, clean nails, no top coat needed. The gel couture top coat seals in your mani to keep it looking great for well over a week!

          Get this color!

          So good! I’m going to be switching to these colors and no more UV gels and lamps. The color is so much more shiny and the Polish goes on nice, thin and clean looking. Can’t wait to buy more!

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is one of the greatest nail polish brands, the color is always very bold and makes a statement. Also minimal chipping or cracking, it hold up very nice with one or 2 coats alone.

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          I loved the chocolate brown color in the bottle but two coats on my nails came out much darker than the bottle! Super frustrated.

          Hello Samanthab! We appreciate about your experience with the Gel Couture longwear nail color in the shade 'all checked out'. We are sorry to hear that this raisin-brown with purple and blue undertones did not provide the finished results you were hoping for. We know a color can look different once dried on the nails. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

          I like it.but it doesn't seem to last any longer than any other Essie polish.

          Yes, I recommend this product.
