        Loved the colour but maybe not a 1 coat

        4 years ago
        I received this #freeproduct through #trywithtopbox I love the colour it is the perfect fall green it's not over powerful and pairs so well with nude very fall chic styling for this colour. I had it on for a out 2 weeks it held up well to wear. Not as good as a gel that uses UV but better than typical nail polish. When I went to remove the polish it did leave a slight green stain to my nails.note I removed using acetone not polish remover not sure if it would have made a difference.worth the colour and silky texture but perhaps lay a top coat to avoid colour transfer.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Long lasting!

        4 years ago
        (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received this nail polish as a #freeproduct sample from TopBox #tryitwithtopbox. I love this nail polish! It was so smooth and easy to apply. I only needed two coats for a solid look with no streaks. The polish didn't chip for well over a week, and even then it was only minor chips at the ends of my nails that were barely noticeable. I will definitely use this again and would love to try other colours! Thanks TopBox!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Poor quality - peels away from the nail.

        11 months ago
        Purchased this in a UK Boots with the matte top coat and despite several tries with various applications the polish doesn’t last more than 3 days before it starts to peel away from the nail. I’ve tried dehydrating the nail plate, longer drying times, thinner coats etc. with no luck! The colour itself is beautiful but unfortunately doesn’t live up to the name.

        No, I do not recommend this product.

        Perfect color

        4 years ago
        I was given the #freeproduct mission to test Essie by #trywithtopbox . I absolutely love the Essies color range and all the seasonal colors they have. I feel that when I'm ready to make a difference, Essie always has what I'm looking for and the quality is decent. The polish stays on my nails for a very long time. I recommend this product.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Love This Colour!

        (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Wow! I was excited to paint my nails with gorgeous shade of green. Totally fell in love with Totally Plaid! It’s the perfect shade if green and it lasts for so long. It’s a perfect shade for spring! Thanks to TopBox Circle! #freeproduct

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Good product

        4 years ago
        (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) #freeproduct #trywithtopbox Got this from topbox, don’t love the colour, but the formula is great! It goes on nice and smooth and has good pigment. It dries down pretty quick and doesn’t stay sticky. The bottle is super cute too.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Pepto pink

        3 years ago
        This is about my 10th Gel Couture polish, and the first with a less-than-flawless formula. Thick, gloopy, and needed three coats. The color is much more Barbie, less delicate than in the model photos. In the trash.

        No, I do not recommend this product.

        Liked it

        4 years ago
        I had wished for more of a summer colour but for fall it would be good. It stayed on pretty decently. Easy to apply and that I truly appreciated. It did chip in a few days but other then that I liked it.

        No, I do not recommend this product.
