        This polish is super shiny and long lasting.

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is a brand of nail polish that I have loved for a long time. This color, called Fuel Your Fire, is the exact shade I would choose in the summer months for my manicure. It is a cooler shade of pink that suits any skin tone. The coverage with one coat is impressive, but I always apply two coats for the best saturation of color. The scent is not strong for a nail polish. I found it dries faster than a lot of other brands. The shine is so impressive that my manicurist asked if I had applied a top coat, even though I had not. I found the polish did not chip easily even with frequent handwashing. The color lasted a week without touch-ups.

        So Shiny and Long Lasting

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm not the best at doing my own nails, and when I do them at home, they never really last long. I even have a UV light for gel nail polish, but that polish usually lasts me a day if I'm lucky. So I was skeptical when I received the Essie Gel Couture polish and top coat. This top coat is amazing! It dried in no time flat, and my nails lasted almost two weeks. I think if I were to have used dishwashing gloves, they would have lasted longer. Paired with the amazing color Fuel Your Life, my pink nails looked so cute! It goes on easily, and it lasts. My nails were shiny the entire time I wore the polish which never happens with other brands.

        Love the color

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After getting acrylics for over a year straight, I needed a break. My nails were brittle and splitting down the nail bed easily. This is the only top coat that makes my nails look and feel like gel polish for at least a week without retouching. Other top coats still allow my nails to split/break, but this one does not. Pros: dries quickly, evens out when applied, works with any color nail polish underneath, makes my nails look like I have gel polish on.

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in return for a fair and honest review. I am really bad at doing my nails. I usually avoid doing my nails because of this. But I love pretty nails. I was skeptical when I tried this. I work a lot with children and I work with my hands and a lot of times the nail polishes I use chip or don't go on smooth. This nail polish is amazing. Goes on very smooth and easy. Doesn't chip easy. The top coat makes it last forever.

        Stunning color

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is absolutely stunning! It's highly pigmented and just screams spring and summer. The brush provides the perfect application, allowing for a smooth application. The staying power is impressive. I painted my toenails before going into the office. I had two back to back 16 hour days wearing heels and walking a ton. I was shocked when I got home, as there wasn't even a chip in the polish. I will 100% be getting more colors. I'm hooked!

        Forever customer now

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is soooo pretty! It’s super easy to reply and is now my new favorite polish color! The packaging so so sleek and different from any other bottle I’ve ever seen. It truly does dry quickly which is a huge help doing nails at home because I usually ruin my nails within 10 minutes due to them taking forever to dry. I will only be using this brand of nail polish from here on out. Easy to remove & has a normal nail polish smell.

        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to try this complimentary product in return for my honest opinion and review. This gel couture color is GORG! A wear anytime, any season color that is a rich pink/lavender color. I only needed two coats which went on easy and dried quickly. My nails even felt stronger! The bottle is cute and easy to hang in to. I was impressed with how long the mani lasted. TWO WEEKS! I will be buying more colors of this great polish.

        Great at home mani

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie Gel Dopamine Rush Polish Duo is an absolute game-changer for at-home manicures! The vibrant pink color in this set is stunning—it’s the perfect mix of bold and playful, making it ideal for any occasion. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, providing full, even coverage with just two coats. The included clear topcoat is a standout as well. It not only adds a brilliant shine that rivals a salon finish but also seals the color beautifully, ensuring long-lasting wear without chipping. Best of all, no UV light is needed! You get that professional gel-like finish with zero hassle, making it super convenient for busy schedules. I also love how quickly the polish dries and how effortless it is to achieve a flawless look. Essie has truly outdone themselves with this duo—it’s perfect for anyone looking to elevate their nail game. Highly recommend!

          The color lasted all week and did not chip

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color was not what I expected. I thought it would be a brighter color. Although, I didn’t like it. It was very fast drying and did not chip. It had a slight odor, but it did go away after a little while. After I applied the topcoat, it was extremely shiny and it lasted all week. All in all, I was very pleased with it. It saved me a trip to the salon. I would definitely use again and purchase a different color.

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Essie gel nail polish is a game-changer for manicure lovers with incredible durability. The polish is perfectly glossy and outlasted my traditional nail polish by far. The curved brush made it super easy to apply. I love that this polish doesn't require a UV lamp for curing which makes it a great at home alternative. Overall I love its extended wear, high-shine finish, and beautiful color. Highly recommend!

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is some of the best polish ever, along with the top coat. I don’t wear polish because it never stays on my nails and always chips off. Not this stuff! I love Essie in general, but this—I get 10 days of wear out of this polish if applied with the top coat. I love the gemstone shades in this collection and this pink is a great bright neutral. I will be wearing this for a long time!!

          Bright pink for festive nails

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is best and this dried pretty quickly. Not my usual kind of color, I'm usually more neutral but it's bright and festive for the holidays. Only issue was I had to do 2 coats and then repaint the tops of my nails because even before the topcoat I could see my nails coming through, which meant it wasn't going to last , but after that the coverage was good!

          Pretty and good quality!

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much to Influenster for sending me this product in exchange for my honest review! This is a great product that works as it should. The shine on this is super nice! The color is very pretty, I guess if you wanted to see if you would like the color you can look in stores. However, I would say the color is very accurate to the online picture but maybe a tad bit darker. It has that classic nail polish scent which doesn’t bother me. It goes on very smooth and the applicator is also very nice. For my pinky I can just do one swipe and be done. I did them pretty fast, and I think my nail lamp was the only problem and took a few tries to fully cure. I would still be careful with them for a few hours after doing them to make sure they fully harden. The packaging could be annoying although pretty if you are a nail tech because they don’t stack nicely next to eachother. Overall I enjoyed, thank you to Influenster for sending me them!

          Gorgeous vegan color for the win! 💅

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful vegan color for the wind. I am absolutely obsessed from everything from the packaging to the applicator to the actual color. This is a long lasting color even without the topcoat there isn’t essence and the drying time is about a minute or so overall they knocked these colors and product out of the park for perfect beautiful nails.

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shade, it’s a cool dark pink with mauve undertones. The brush is great, two coats give a nice even solid wash of color. It’s easy to remove with any nail polish remover but it’s also long lasting especially when paired with the Gel Couture Top Coat. It does have a strong nail polish scent but otherwise I love it!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so excited about this new Essie nail polish and top coat! My nails look great without going to the salon and they have been chip free for a while now! It was easy to apply and dried in less than 30 seconds which meant I wasn’t smelling that nail polish smell for long. I have found my Valentine’s Day nail color!!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This is the perfect pink! The color comes out on your nail just as it looks in the bottle. I used two coats of pink and then one coat of the clear top coat. I was surprised how fast my nails dried. Also the shine with this nail polish is unmatched! So pretty!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this nail polish! The color is a vibrant orchid pink with a subtle cool tone that feels fresh and unique. It lasts really well, especially when I reapply the top coat after a week. Perfect for anyone who wants long-lasting, bright nails.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although this is not something I will ever wear on my fingernails…it certainly will be a staple on my toes! Beautiful shade for summer, has great coverage in 2 coats, and dries really quick! Will definitely pick up more colors from this line!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did receive this for free to review and so far so good. This looks nice on the nails, very smooth and shiny. Easy to apply and the color was nice and vibrant. I think this is fair for the price if you want to stay out of the nail salons.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was very easy to apply and had excellent coverage. It was quick to dry and left an amazingly shiny coat. It was very durable and stayed on with multiple times of washing dishes over the holidays. Recommend this brand!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this nail polish!! The color is so pretty and it dries very fast. The scent isn’t so strong and it applies super well. I just painted my nails so we’ll see what happens if/when they chip. I highly recommend!!

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I adore the Essie Gel Dopamine Rush collection! The pink is perfect, dries fast, lasts forever with no chips, and the shine is gorgeous! Application took less than 15 minutes total which is great for a single mom on the go!

          Vibrant Pink

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie has a wide range of great nail polish colors. They are so easy to apply and dries really fast. This vibrant pink color is also great. It also doesn’t have a strong scent as most nail polishes do.

          In love with the color.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from @influenster and @essie in exchange for my honest review. "Fuel Your Life" features a lively, energizing hue that can be described as a bright coral with subtle undertones of pink. The color is perfect for any season, adding a pop of vibrancy whether you're enjoying a summer day at the beach or preparing for a cozy fall get-together. The finish is a high-shine glossy look that enhances the color's brightness, giving your nails a professional polish-like appearance. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. The brush is well-designed, allowing for an even coat without streaks or globbing. I found that one coat provides decent coverage, but I recommend two coats for achieving the full intensity of the color. The drying time is relatively quick, making it a practical choice for those on the go. In terms of wear, "Fuel Your Life" holds up exceptionally well. After a week, I experienced minimal chipping, and the shine remained intact. It's worth noting, however, that a good top coat can significantly enhance durability and help maintain that glossy finish.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty colors but not long lasting. Didnt take long to dry. I will say the paint chipped the same day I applied. Second time I painted them they lasted a day before chipping. Pretty shine.

          Hi mrsburchfield2017...! We are so sorry to hear that this polish chipped on you so quickly! Want the perfect essie manicure? Choose from our base coats and apply 1 coat. Apply 2 coats of your favorite essie enamel and finish one of our essie top coats. We hope this is helpful for future applications!
