Beautiful quality colors
I really liked this Essie gel liquid diamonds collection. The product goes on so smoothly, the brush is a really nice shape to help you keep clean edges. It was a bit on the thicker side so I only needed to do one coat to get that nice dark coverage.

Lovely Navy Shade with Beautiful Shimmer
Ice Ice Baby #395 is a beautiful deep navy with silver shimmer. I found the nail polish to be opaque in one coat, but I prefer 2 for a richer smoother finish. I also like to cap the tip of my nails for longer lasting manicures. I found that this color started chipping around day 4, and that was with 1 layer of the #00 Top Coat (Step 2) applied. I think the top coat makes a huge difference! It smoothes everything out and leaves a lovely glossy finish. The bottles have a nice weight on them so they don’t accidentally fling off the table. The brushes on the gel couture collection are a nice width and make it easier to have full coverage on the nail. I’m excited to have this beautiful shade, I especially love it on my toes. I feel like a fresh person with my nails painted.

Love this color
Love this color. It has glitter/shimmer in it and the color itself is so beautiful. Not too pink or peachy. Just the perfect shade. I think it’s a great color for any season

Easy application and stunning finish.
I recently tried the Gel by Essie polish, and it has quickly become one of my top five favorites. The application process was easy and clean, which is impressive considering I usually have issues with application due to arthritis in both of my hands. The first coat dried quickly, within just five minutes, and went on smoothly without any issues. After applying the second coat, I was surprised that it also applied flawlessly and dried fairly quickly, within about fifteen minutes. The gel topcoat really tied everything together, enhancing the diamond shine and creating a stunning finish. In terms of durability, this polish holds up remarkably well, lasting about a week on my nails without any chipping. I wholeheartedly recommend Gel by Essie to anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting gel polish.

A beautiful and durable polish and topcoat combina
This nail polish is shiny and the color is very vibrant and beautiful. My wife wore it and said that it was durable and didn’t chip like her nail lacquer usually does. She said that the topcoat dries really fast and that two coats of color made a drastic improvement over a single coat.

Amazing color!
Love the shade! Not really glittery but more shimmery. The shade applies on evenly and yhe coats dry well. I love how you don't have to apply too many layers to get an even coat.

High Shine Icy Pink Color Shifting Nails
The Gel by essie Liquid Diamonds Collection gives your nails a high-shine with subtle shimmer & color shifting shine & really catches the light. The salon quality formula applies smoothly w/o streaking. 2 coats gave flawless coverage. It dries fairly quick & lasted over a week w/o chipping after I paired it with the essie Top Coat. Frost Yourself is a versatile, frosty pink shade with a gold shift. It’s a perfect shade for a fun twist as the base of a French tip

Dries fast!
These nail polishes are very good quality. At first I wasn't so sure because it was kinda watery, but I was very amazed on how fast it dries up and it last long. The only thing is I would buy in a darker shade. Too lite for my taste. But love the quality and brand. Best part of it is that I dont need the uv light to dry. I would repurchase and recommend it. Thank you @influesnster for the opportunity to try this product.

Hi there WandaleeP, we are absolutely delighted to hear that you were "amazed" by how fast the Gel Couture dries and how long it lasts—especially without the need for a UV light. That "salon-quality" ease is exactly what we aim for! Of course, we know that nail color is a deeply personal choice, and we understand the disappointment of receiving a shade that feels a bit too "lite" for your signature style. We truly appreciate your positivity and your willingness to give the formula a …and so glad the quality won you over! Something more adventurous like Size Me Up, may be a better fit for you! https://www.essie.com/nail-polish/longwear/reds/size-me-up
