Elegant
This polish goes in smooth with rich color and a subtle shimmer. I did have to apply 2-3 layers for it to pop the way that I wanted it to, but once applied the polish is very durable. Gives my nails a very polished, elegant look.

Love it!
I have purchased many nail polishes in the past and it chips within a day or two. Essie nail polish sometimes up last up to 10 days.
FINALLY a polish that does not chip
The first week I tried the Essie Gel Couture, I left it on for 10 days without ANY chips. I removed it easily with a soy based remover (didn't even require acetone). I then applied it on a Friday evening and left for a vacation to Disney World on Sunday. I finally took off the polish 11 days after application when chips developed on the nails of my dominant hand. I apply two coats of color and one of the top coat. For it to work, no base coat should be used, but even when I use the most saturated colors, my nails are not discolored or damaged when I remove this miracle product. I love this polish and wear it all the time.
Streaks, does not dry evenly.
I was looking for an Essie gel color in a white shade and thought this was going to be effortless like the other Essie’s I own. This one if terrible and I ended up taking it back. It does not set well and streaks very bad, even with the recommended nail prep. I even did four coats and it was just awful. Very disappointed I do not have a “go to” white for this brand. Have it a one-star because I couldn’t give it a 0.

Hi there MtotheJ, we would be disappointed too and want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This bright white with clean and crisp undertones should look perfect by the second coat. Your bottle definitely was not working as it should. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Everyday nail color
I love this brand and the quality of nail polish. This is a beautiful nail polish. It’s long lasting and doesn’t chip easily. It also dries quickly. The design of the bottle is really great too! This is a perfect sheer natural color on the nail that I can wear all the time.
