Chipping By Day Three
My nails looked great at first and for about a day or two, but by day three they were chipping badly. I put two coats of color and one coat of top polish on exactly as instructed. I have tried this with multiple colors of this polish. Unfortunately, it does not last as long as advertised.

Hi Doigger! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture Top Coat’. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for. These special effect colors should dry in minutes, we're not sure why your application isn't setting as it should. This Gel Couture Top Coat smooth silver chrome effect can be worn alone as a sheer effect or as a special effect topper over your favorite color.
Nice coverage
I like it! seems to be working pretty good so far!

Hi there Leslie, thank you for trying out the Gel Couture Top Coat. We hope you love the long wear results and super shine from this ultra glossy top coat!
Love the gloss and how it dries quickly
Love using as a top coat. Gives a beautiful gloss to my polish and dries quickly. The packaging is unique from the standard nail polish bottle. It’s long lasting and in my opinion helps keep the polish stay on longer. Overall a nice top coat.

new formula is TERRIBLE
I loved their old formula - it was fast, quick, and fabulous. I have used it for years. The new formula WILL NOT DRY. It is TERRIBLE and sticky and the WORST. I am returning mine and trying something else.

stains nails
it's good but for some reason it allows for the polish on the nails to get dirty and I use essie gel couture polish and notice that when I use the light colored polishes with this topcoat then my nails get stained easily

High quality product
Essie has always been a solid brand and these gel polishes are no different. Long lasting and easy to apply. Doesn’t take long to dry and looks great.

Great shine!
Although this is not something I will ever wear on my fingernails…it certainly will be a staple on my toes! Has a really great high shine and I had no issues with chipping after wearing it for a good month or so.

Good
Thought this top coat was really good. I honestly don't really use top coat very often but think this a product I would use again the future. Made the polish last a long time and resisted the chipping.
