        I Love It!

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie nail polish. Essie is my favorite nail polish brand because it always has such a nice array of colors. Essie has great quality and so many colors available you are sure to find a shade that you’ll love. I really appreciate that Essie is parabéns free and vegan. The color looks so pretty and it comes out great. I have many. Essie nail polishes and I’m never dissatisfied or disappointed. This nail polish was so cool because it is a color that I did not have before and it is great for the season. It’s great that it is a gel polish because it makes it shine and glossy looking so pretty and because it last on my nails longer.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Gel polish

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having my nails done, but I rarely have time to run to the salon and get them done. My daughter and I do her nails at home at least once a week and by that I mean I will paint my nails and paint hers as well. I love the gel finish of this nail polish. Green is not a color that I naturally gravitate towards when selecting a color for my nails but it ended up looking very nicely on my toes. I won’t post pictures because I know some people are creeps about toe photos. It’s the perfect color for the holidays and I’ll probably use it during the spring time as well. It doesn’t take very long to dry and it is a gel polish so the color is not gonna be completely opaque like with a regular polish

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Salon finish

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I newly pregnant and have become much more aware of the ingredients of what I put on/in my body. So thrilled to find this vegan nail polish. I hope Essie continues this movement. After shaping and prepping my nails I applied the green polish (step by 1) then added the top coat (step 2). It gives a lovely salon finish. The color is great. I usually go super dark for fall/winter colors. This green is a better complement - it’s striking and a classic color. Lastly, I’m tough on my nails. From working out, dishes to cleaning, this polished stayed put. I’ve tried so many polishes and applied at home. Mostly of them don’t stay on long. This one really does have that gel finish that lasts. Now how about Barbie pink for spring/summer?

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Just like gel without the UV!

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed!! I have tried other ‘gel’ nail polish before and it chips within a few days just like normal polish, and usually takes forever to dry. This Essie polish goes on so easily, and the color is bright and thick just like gel. Surprisingly, the polish dries very quickly within 1-2 minutes. It is actually faster for me to paint my nails with the Essie polish than using my home gel kit because it is only 2 coats, dries fast and looks just as good. I am on day 5 and still no chips! I will definitely be buying more colors!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        so pretty!

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this nail polish! First off the colors are so vibrant and beautiful. I love how well and easily they apply. I just gave the bottle a good shake and it glided on so smooth! I got so many compliments on how pretty my nails are! My nails have always given me a confidence boost when I have them done and this polish made me feel so fancy and elegant! I like the bottle design too. It looks so unique and I like how easy it is to hold too! Would definitely recommend!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Great gel polish!

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty skeptical of this polish at first because a UV light isn't needed but I am blown away. It has the perfect consistency and goes on smoothly. It's gives nice coverage and I only needed two coats for the polish to be completely opaque. It's also held up very well! I'm happy to say that I am currently on day 7 with no chips and they still look great!

        Lasts longer!

        3 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was honestly impressed with this nail polish. Not only are the colors in this collection stunning, I had this color on for over a week with only small chips at the tips of my fingernails (which honestly can be fixed with an extra swipe of top coat at the tips). The color went on east and didn't need multiple coats. Would highly recommend!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

          3 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of the gel polish. I also love Essie. So I had to try this!! It goes on so easily and coats really well. The color coat does take a little while to dry and the smell is a little strong for me. However. Once you put on the top coat and it dries (less than 10 mins for me!) The scent is gone. It seems like itll last a while too!

          Yes, I recommend this product.

          Better than the salon

          3 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie makes my favorite nail polishes. They go on smoothly, you don’t have to do multiple coats and with the top coat it literally looks like I got them done at the salon. The bottle shape is easy to open if it’s sealed shut, or if you have wet nails. It is better than the traditional round or square shape nail polish bottles.

          Hi there! We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the gel couture color ‘in-vest in style’. The gel couture colors applied to clean, bare nails in 2 coats and topped with the gel couture top coat should last for well over a week.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this color and that I only have to use one layer for great coverage. Long lasting polish with a great shine that lasts.

          Yes, I recommend this product.
