    Love how these apply and how quickly they dry. However, they chip way to easily, some colors on the same day or next day. Fail.

    The closest thing to a lamp-cured gel manicure I have found, and does a lot less damage to my nails. I will likely purchase more colours. I did not use a base coat, only the colour and top...

    I had a salon manicure with Zip Me Up, which is mint. The color wore for 13 days (I removed it because of a self-inflicted chip). This is pretty impressive for a non-gel manicure for me. ...

    I've always been quite faithful to Essie regular nail polishes. Love their range of colours, the brush, the formula and low level of chemicals used in latest versions. Just like so many other...

    Because I love Essie's colours and have had a fair amount of success with polishes from their regular line, I decided to splurge and try a medium beige-pink shade from Gel Couture along with the...

    I had high hopes for this because I love the essie gel setter top coat, but I was sorely disappointed. The colour I bought was a pinkish-white (not advertised as sheer), and it required 3 coats to...

    Love these polishes! If combined with an Essie Gel top coat, they'll stay on pretty nicely. I love their colours and the brush is quite thick so it's easy to apply them neatly. They're well...

    LOVE Sheer Fantasy for a natural looking nail. But, don't cover with their recommended top coat because it shrinks!

    What a waste of money. I bought these because my usual nail polish never lasts more than one day. I have peely nails and tend to start picking at my nails if my nail polish lifts. I was hoping...

    This is my first try with Essie's Gel Couture (Competitor to CND Vinylux) hybrid long-wear polish. It is about $12 per bottle (ouch) and claims to wear for up to (up to) 14 days. I am on day 2...

    My two favorites so far is "Take me to Thread" a nice rich taupe-like color. And "Fairy Tailor" a light pink-neutral color. HOWEVER I did try "Make the Cut" and that one was horrible. It applied...

    The new Essie Gel Couture line is thicker than than regular Essie polish. The formula is a true cream, and most shades become opaque in just 1-2 coats. The Gel Couture brush is comparable to...
