Gorgeous glittery nails!
9 months ago
Such a gorgeous nail product that instantly gives my nails a beautiful glittery shimmer that really stands out. I’ve used this as a top coat on several different colours and it looks perfect with any of them! The coating also gives a protective layer which I found to be long-lasting and chip-free. A lovely product and I’d be happy to recommend it!

Instantly glam your nail look
9 months ago
I’m really glad I got to try this from L’OréalistaRUK in exchange for my honest thoughts. This topcoat is so easy to use it applies smoothly and dries pretty fast too. The bottle is super easy to hold while doing your nails, which I loved the brush is a good size too.
It’s clear and really sparkly, so you can wear it on its own or layer it over any colour to instantly glam up your nails. It’s perfect for a night out or anything festive. I had a lot of fun using it, and my favourite combo was black nails with this Essie topcoat on top for a bit of extra glam.

Diamond shine in one swipe
9 months ago
I absolutely loved this Diamond Dust Topcoat. The sparkle is gorgeous — it really does look like tiny diamonds on the nails. I applied it over my regular polish and it dried surprisingly fast, which is a big bonus for me. It gives such a clean, glossy finish and instantly makes any manicure look more festive and put-together. I can definitely see myself using it a lot during the holiday season. Beautiful product!

I’ve been trying the new essie Diamond Dust Top Coat and I’m genuinely impressed. First of all, it’s super sparkly, the shine is gorgeous and I absolutely adore the finish. I applied it over my gel nails and it lasted almost two weeks without any issues, which really surprised me in the best way. If you love a long-lasting, glittery top coat, I truly recommend giving this one a try!

I really like this nail polish!
9 months ago
I tried the new Gel Couture Diamond Dust Top Coat and really loved the finish. It adds a soft, diamond-like sparkle without feeling chunky or heavy. I applied one thin layer over my sheer pink polish and the shine looks beautiful, especially under flash. It dries quickly and gives a clean, glossy look. Really nice for adding a festive touch to everyday nails.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Superb topcoat!! Polish has lasted 10 days with minimal wear. I will make sure I cap the tips with topcoat next time to see if this makes it last even better. I can never sit still long enough for my polish to set so it doesn’t dint and smudge, this really helped dry my nails quickly enough for a fidget fingers like me, definitely recommend!

Super shimmery
9 months ago
I received this Essie nail topper from Lorealistar and Essie in exchange for my honest review.
I absolutely love the sparkle and shine in this nail topper. It made a big difference to my nails that were already painted in a simple single shade. I have had this nail topper on for 3 weeks and it still looks as good as when I first applied it. It hasn't chipped and the colour hasn't dulled over time.
I like that you can use it on gel or your own nails, very versatile.
This is such a lovely shade.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Stunning, sparkly and dries fast!
9 months ago
Really like this Essie Diamond Dust top coat, adds shimmer and sparkle to any normal looking nail varnish which is ideal because I don’t need to buy separate sparkly nail varnishes I can just put it over the top of pre existing nail varnishes I already have. It is really gorgeous and just the right amount of sparkle, it’s subtle and not over the top, it’s just right. It is especially stunning when the light hits it. Dries fast too! Overall great top coat.

good top coat
9 months ago
Love this topcoat polish, I used with another brand nail polish and it worked really well as well. Stays on for about a week/week and a half. It's pretty thick. was sceptical about this varnish but it does last longer than other Essie varnish. Dries slightly slower. It's not the cheapest but i think the quality of the varnish is worth it. I will be buying more colours in the step one couture range. It is easy to remove with regular varnish removal pads.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I use Essie nail polishes for ages and I was excited to try this nail polish. It gives beautiful diamond sparkle after first coat and if you do the second coat it’s more beautiful and sparkling. It’s durable and long lasting nail polish. I already wear it for 3 days and no chipping. I recommend and would always repurchase. This shade and colour is perfect for festive season and subtle nail looks.

A brilliant finish and dries quickly which i appreciated for a top coat!.

A Great Topcoat
9 months ago
I recieved this product in return for my honest review. The diamond dust topcoat is a really nice nail product it drys fast and doesn’t apply streaky. The application was smooth and easy with the brush being a perfect shape to aid. I would recommend this product as it has a beautiful sheer and glitter to the finished look. I also really appreciate that it is chip resistant even when applied over gel polish which is how I applied it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Effective, Easy to Use
8 months ago
I received this product free but I found it really useful and so easy to use.
It brightened up my nails, gave it a very nice sparkle topcoat that I needed to show off my newly done nails.
I also like the bottle design as it stands out and felt great in my hand. I would recommend to have this product within your collection as it can enhance you natural nails or add extra sparkle and shine as a topcoat to you nails as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dries fast and lasts for a few weeks
9 months ago
Essie top coat Diamond Dust is the best option to have up to 15 days of sparkling-looking nails. What is amazing is that I can go to any colour to make a fancy, brilliant, smooth finish.
Drying in a few seconds is perfect, then I don't have time. I applied a week ago and still look beautiful.
Very easy to apply without being messy on the skin.
The quality is incredible. There's a UV lamp that's not needed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Quick drying
9 months ago
This is a fast drying top coat with a lovely subtle diamond dust shimmer.
It did not dry to as shiny a finish as I’d first expected, so I’d be tempted to add a glossy top coat on top of it.
I love how quickly it dries and it’s been really durable.

love the sparkles
8 months ago
first of all the diamond dust topcat nail polish comes in a unique shaped clear glass bottle , its like its been twisted which is so unique and eyecatching.
the lid is white.
the nail polish has got different colour silver glitter bits in which sparkle different colours when the light hits them.
can be used alone on your nails, or coated over a coloured nail polish. the darker the under colour is the more you see the sparkles.
its easy to use, and it self levels which is what i love the most.
you dont need to cure the gel polish which i love, it dries on its own.
when you shake the bottle it has a little ball inside to help it mix properly
Yes, I recommend this product.

Soft shimmer that lifts every manicure
9 months ago
I have really enjoyed using the Essie Diamond Dust topcoat. The shimmer is so pretty and catches the light in a soft delicate way that looks amazing in different lighting. I tried it over sage green, bright pink and black and it worked beautifully over every shade. Over black especially it looks extra striking and really shows off the shimmer.
The formula is smooth and easy to apply and it dries quickly which I always appreciate. It adds a glossy finish that makes my nails look neat and a bit more polished overall. The shimmer sits evenly on the nail and gives a very clean finish.
Wear time has been great with no early chipping and the sparkle stays clear and bright. If you enjoy a soft shimmer that enhances any manicure this is a lovely topcoat to have and I would happily reach for it again.
Yes, I recommend this product.

✨My Sparkly Secret Weapon✨
9 months ago
I have been using the Essie Diamond Dust Top Coat for a while now, and it’s become my go-to whenever I want my nails to look like I put in way more effort than I actually did. The moment I swipe it on, it adds this gorgeous, shimmery sheen that makes any colour underneath look brighter and more polished. It dries quickly, feels smooth rather than gritty, and gives my nails a glossy, almost gel-like finish that lasts longer than I expected. Honestly, it’s the perfect top coat for days when I want a touch of sparkle without going full glitter; subtle, elegant, and just really pretty every time I catch it in the light.

I’ve been testing the Diamond Dust Top Coat from gel by essie, and I’m honestly impressed. It gives the nails this gorgeous, multi-dimensional sparkle without feeling chunky or textured. The finish is super smooth and instantly elevates any colour underneath.
What I love most is how quickly it dries and how long it lasts my manicure stayed glossy and chip-free for days. The shimmer looks classy, not too glittery, so it’s perfect for everyday wear or a more glam look.

I’ve been loving the Essie Diamond Dust top coat. It gives my nails the prettiest glittery shine that looks so stunning. The formula is chip-resistant, dries quickly, and you don’t need a base coat or UV light. It's super easy and fuss-free.

I think it’s a beautiful, sparkly top coat that’s perfect when you want a little extra glam.

I love adding this diamond dust top coat to my nail polishes. It transforms any old shade into a new, glittery color full of shine. The blend of silver iridescent and light-reflecting gold pearls creates amazing results, maximizing brilliant sparkle even after just the first coat. It is really eye-catching. I need to purchase more shades from Essie because they are really beautiful. Best of all, it is fast drying and lasts a long time.
