It gives a long lasting finish that gives a gel like look without the UV

Love' this polish so much. The polish has a shimmer that catches the light without being too flashy. It went on smoothly, dried fairly quickly and lasted days without chipping. The end result was glossy and elegant ❤️

Formula gone wrong

I have used so many Essie gel colors, but this one is awful. The formula is horrid. What happened??? I’ve never done such a bad manicure! I do my nails religiously and I’ve never had such blotchy, bubbly nails. I need to take it off immediately and throw this in the trash.

Hi there, we want to know what’s going on as much as you do! As a long-time fan of our gel colors, we know you have high standards for your manicures, and it’s clear this bottle missed the mark. Blotchy or bubbly results are definitely not the Essie quality you know and love! 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

Hard glass finish

This topcoat goes on so smoothly and dries very quickly. It looks better as it sets and feels hard and durable I can’t wait to see how long it lasts!

Glossy shimmer that lasts almost a week

The gel by Essie liquid diamond nail polish is beautiful, giving a lovely gloss and shimmer that catches the light perfectly. I love the sleek bottle shape, and the formula dries down nicely. While one coat is a bit sheer, two coats provides the perfect coverage. It lasted almost a full week for me, with minor chipping only starting around day six.

Badly shrinks

I want to love this. Dries quickly and with great shine but the shrinkage is terrible! I’ve tried different application methods such as applying while color coats are still wet, letting them dry before applying the top coat, etc. regardless, I always cap the nail. It shrinks so badly by the cuticle. I love wearing dark colors and the shrinkage pulls most of the color leaving a pale ring by my cuticle. Have to go back to the Gel Setter.

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.
