Long lasting
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always get Essie because of their color selection and how smooth their formula is, but this was my first time trying the gel line. This gel polish goes on really smooth and has pretty colors. I got Paisley the Way and gel top coat together. I recommend getting both to get the polish to last the longest. It didn’t chip for almost 2 weeks! That’s a lifetime for me. Normal polish usually flakes in less than 5 days for me. This is my new go to line for sure!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pretty color
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is gorgeous I am a big fan of dark colors and it's even more beautiful in person. That being said I was a little disappointed because the color seemed to chip within a week. I applied two coats and then the top coat and made sure each coat was dry before adding an additional coat. I am not sure if this is because I wash my hands often but I am willing to give it another shot.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hello Janet96. Thank you for sharing your experience with the gel couture long wear color 'paisley the way'. We love hearing how much you enjoy the color of this intense purple nail polish with vibrant blue undertones. We just wish you saw all the results you had been hoping for. It certainly sounds like your application was spot on...but we know that we all find ourselves washing hands lots more these days. We hope you get the week + great mani results with this color!

Great color and dries fast
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing this Essie- Paisley the way color for a week now without any issues. The color is nice deep plum, not too purple. I applied two coats and the top coat. Consistency is pretty liquid but it gives you great coverage so two coats are enough. I let my nails dry for about 5 min between coats and 2 min for the top coat. The top coat makes your nails dry faster. Within 7-10 min my nails are pretty dry. It is important to apply the topcoat to all of your nail colors otherwise you will experience chipping later on. The color doesn't fade and looks great after a week. I am not sure if it will last much longer but is definitely comparable to the UV Gel colors without going to the salon and waiting and paying extra. My favorite thing is that the color doesn't transfer to the topcoat brush during application. To remove it you just use acetone, no need to soak it. Definitely a great set for durable, easy, and great-looking nails.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pretty shade, great gel polish
4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually love this color, which is a deep plum. As for the nail polish itself, it’s amazing! Coverage is great, and you can get a well coated nail in two coats! The gel top coat is also effective and dries fast. The smell isn’t strong at all, which is a plus. I absolutely love it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Avoid the purple shades
a year ago
I’ve used the blue and green shades of gel couture and have loved them but this shade is patchy and requires at least 3 coats to get it somewhat even and good coverage. I used another purple that seemed to be grainy.
I love the range but only certain shades actually work well

LOVE this color. It's very hard to find this color. I had a pedicure recently and fell in love with this color but it was discontinued with another brand. I searched far and wide and found the match with Essie and the gel couture is even better with it's shine & longevity!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice Gel coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this Essie gel couture nail polish. I like how easy the polish is to apply. My nails look like they have been done by a professional instead of at home by me. This polish has not chipped nor faded. This gives off a nice shine as well. Definitely recommend.
