Excellent quality
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster for review purposes.
I chose the shade Bling It which is described as a muted sage with blue undertones. It has a subtle pearly, silver shimmer that adds a touch of dazzle but overall it is a pretty neutral color that would suit a variety of skin tones. Formula was sheer but very easy to apply. It self leveled easily and for my nails I did 2-3 coats. I used an Essie base coat and the Essie Gel Couture top coat that was also provided. I am a big fan of this top coat and have purchased it several times. My manicure did not chip for the 7 days I had it on. I am interested in trying other shades in this line.

Does not chip! I'm shocked!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love nail colors but they do not love me back lol. They always chip off the day I wear them, no matter what base or top coat I use. But THIS ONE WON'T BUDGE! It's been four whole days since I put this nail color on, and I've cooked, took a bath, and went for a paint night and there's absolutely not a single chip in sight! The bottle said to put on two layers but that was too sheer for me so I put on three layers to make the color fully opaque. I also used the Essie Gel Top Coat on top. This is an absolute staple and I cannot wait to get a few more colors!

Cute Spring Nail Polish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved using this product! The nail polish applied quite easily, and I was able to get a vibrant color after just two coats of polish. This is a perfect Easter/Spring color, and I can see it looking good on a variety of skin tones. I haven’t had any issues with durability thus far, and I felt like it dried relatively quickly. Applying the Essie top coat made the overall color look even better, and it gave a shiny, finished appearance to my toenails.

Better than expected
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off the packaging for this product is beautiful and unlike any other brand of nail polish I own. The application goes on super smooth and clean. After allowing the color coats to slightly dry (give it a few minutes) I applied the top coat provided. It dried quicker than my regular nail polishes and the color was a beautiful light pastel shade. I’ll absolutely be using this all summer.

Pretty and light
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first coat is very sheer and has some shimmer to it. You definitely need a second coat and that is what I used in my photo. It does take a bit to try before it’s ready for another coat. I ended with the top coat to hold it on well. I usually do gel nails so it will be interesting to see how long these last. I got this polish to try for free in exchange for my honest review.

cute!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a very cute nail polish! i did a pedicure with it and it lasted slightly better than a regular polish but not quite as well as a salon gel. the color is beautiful— less bright than in the photo but really pretty and vibrant. the packaging is cute (although the weirdly shaped bottle makes it awkward to store). i would buy in other colors!

Really long wear
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Bling It polish nail from Influenster for free. The color is very nice. I am very pleased with this nail polish. It stayed on even my little toes for weeks, longer than salon gel polish. The color (dark red) is also very pigmented and deep, and they covered up the last bits of gel I could not get off very nicely.

Great polish.
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. I love this gel style polish: easy to apply, easy to seal with the gel topcoat. It didn’t take too long to dry either. It chipped somewhat fast but literally all polishes do for me, I wash my hands constantly and work with office supplies.

Beautiful color!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish color is GORGEOUS! It applies so smoothly. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it took 4 coats to get it this dark. The 1st coat looked almost clear with a green tint. It’s still beautiful though and I love that they sent the top coat polish as well. Would definitely buy!

Nice application lasts
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this goes on very smoothly and makes it super easy to apply. Good brush and polish spreads nicely. Also dries well and doesn’t take too long. The only downside is of this specific shade is you need to apply 3 coats and it still is pretty light. When you apply one it barely shows up.

Color is perfect for spring
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this color, like a light mint green. It goes on smooth. I did have to apply 3 coats of it to cover my nails so the color would be more noticeable. It is very light. I love the shape of the bottles. I felt like I had a better grip on them than the standard smooth square bottles.

Bling bling
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this color for spring/summer. Thankful that Essie sent a top coat to secure it. This lasted a little under 7 days but still great. I needed more than 3 coats to see the full pigment this reminds me of a pistachio color and I am here for it. Thank you Essie and INFLUENSTER!

It’s okay
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t paint my nails too often but was looking forward to receiving this nail polish. The color is pretty, but it’s not that pigmented. I would need 3 coats to achieve the look I want. It takes a full 2 hours to dry. It was easy to apply and the texture isn’t thick or tacky.

Hello brooked161. Thank you for sharing your pics and experience with the Gel Couture Longwear color 'bling it'. We're sorry to hear you didn't quite see the color results you were hoping for. By the second coat our nail enamels should look perfect. However, this muted sage green longwear nail polish with blue undertones is a semi-opaque color, not quite sheer.

Nice color
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this color a lot but unfortunately I had to wear several coats for it to come through. I felt like it should have a thicker formula. It took awhile to dry and so I recommend a fast drying top coat. The packaging is nice and the brush works well. Just wish it was opaque.

Too sheer
a year ago
I love the color of this in the bottle and it lasts for a long time without chipping, but it is so sheer. I did 3 coats and I can still see my nail through it. I should have done at least 1 more coat. I wish the color on the nail was the same as the color in the bottle.

Awful
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited and painted my nails immediately after getting this and wow it’s awful. I like the bottle shape, I’ve used this brand before so I know it’s the color specifically but it’s so bad. Runny formula, it took 4 coats and it still wasn’t good coverage. Just awful

Hello pumpkin90. there! Thanks for sharing your experience with the bling it'. We wish you were seeing the results you were hoping for. This color should be a muted sage green with blue undertones. The texture should not be any thinner or thicker than any nail enamel and by the second coat your color should be perfect.

Lovely jade polish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the color of this nail polish, it's a creamy jade with a bit of glitter to it. The consistency is thin so multiple coats are needed for an opaque look. The brush is very nice and easy to use, I didn't have any trouble making precise strokes.

Very opaque
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail gel is VERY opaque, thankfully i already owned a similar color polish to use as a base or else it would have taken me quite a few coats to get a non see through coat. That being said this and the top coat both dry quickly and with no streaks

Hello valeriem95. there. Thank you for sharing your pic and experience with the the Gel Couture color 'bling it'. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. This muted sage green with blue undertones is not a true sheer color nor a true opaque creme color. The result should be a jewel like shimmer.

Very sheer
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this product, but this particular color was much more sheer than I expected. I like being able to use gel color at home without having to get my nails done. This polish does last me longer than regular polish. I just don’t love this color.

So pretty!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of the nail polish is really good. It goes on easily and smooth. The color is buildable, so it can be either semi-translucent or more solid depending on how many coats you apply. It’s a really pretty seafoam pearly color.

Disappointing color pay off
a year ago
Beautiful color in the bottle but way too sheer on application. Disappointing color pay off even with 3 coats. Wish this would be specified on the bottles. I wouldn’t have purchased if I knew it was going to be so sheer
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there Candles! Thank you for sharing your experience with this muted sage green with blue undertones. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for. While not a true opaque color, the coverage should be more than you would see with a sheer tone. By the second coat your color should be perfect. 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

High shine
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely need a UV lamp for this as it is gel. Super high shine polish with the matching top coat. The directions say 2 coats but for this more like 3-4 because of opacity. There is a little pearlescent finish

Love the color but polish is too thin
11 months ago
Very thin but I love the color. I'm very torn because I love a mint green, but after 3 coats I'm still seeing patchiness in color. I'm going to keep using it but wish it wasn't as thin.
Yes, I recommend this product.
