Review: Essie hard to resist - glow and shine - I have no idea how this nail polish stayed on my nails the first week I used it. I use a lot of sanitizer and other solvents at work. Usually, I wear gloves but inevitably it will touch my skin and nails. It did not budge and I was impressed! However, the following weeks it just flaked off my nails every 2 to 3 days. I can't take stars off, tho. It is not as durable as I thought, but it still hardens the nails and conditions them thoroughly. No complaints. I use essies hard to resist to maintain and enhance my nail health and it does a fantastic job. The product is hot pink in the bottle but on the nails it's only a hint of sheer color. I usually add a coat every 2 to 3 days to maintain the shine after the initial application of 2 coats. 4 coats is visibly pink but not overbearing, just not natural anymore. If you flood your cuticles they will look bloodshot after multiple coats. Nails are harder, not bendy and grow without splitting or peeling. I love it. You can still break your nails by being careless. Don't forget to moisturize your hands and nails regularly, because no polish on this planet can counteract the damage of dried out crumbly nails and cuticles.
Review: A life saver - I typically don’t leave reviews, but in this case I have to for this product. To preface my nails are in terrible shape after years upon years of abuse due to acrylic overlay, S&S dip powder, and ripping them off when they grow out because I was too impatient to get them removed by a professional. I have since decided to grow out my real nails, and while all the damaged nail is grown out, I’m trying to get my real nails healthy and to be stronger so I decided to try this product. I wanted to give it a few days after reading the previous reviews stating that there was peeling and chipping in some cases on the same day as application . I did not expect much because I don’t have luck in this department. However, I was surprisingly shocked. I do A LOT of cleaning, cooking, and washing my hands constantly because we have a giant breed dog who slobbers . I also work an 8 hour job at a desk where I’m typing all day. I am not gentle on my nails at all, and I never have been . Needless to say this product has held up beautifully. There has been no peeling no lifting no chipping no cracking, or anything. I highly highly recommend this product…. it’s fantastic. I love the slight pink tint it gives to my nails as well. I did 2 coats 2 days ago on clean dry nails, so no lotion or anything. it dries very quickly, and they look the same today as they did when I put it on. A few days ago. I use cuticle oil at night as well thinking maybe it would affect the product but no issues and No notes! LOVE IT!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does someone have feedback on how to remove this kind of manicure?**
A: Essie Gel-setter comes off just like normal nail polish would with nail polish remover. If you have a salon gel mani then you should go to the salon to have it removed. There are at home tricks but you need to be careful not to mess up your nails

**Q: Can you use it over a french manicure? Will it prevent yellowing?**
A: Yes, you most definitely use it over any color.  I have used it over french manicures, reds, neutrals, etc. and I've never experienced any yellowing with my nail color.  One thing I can say, is it definitely works better with other Essie nail polishes...absolutely no chipping!  However, it still prevents major chipping with other brands and prolongs the nail color.

**Q: I prefer clear polish. Can this be used by itself or with only a base coat?**
A: I do not see why you could not use it by itself.  I do on occasion just use a base coat and then top with the gel setter, mainly because I have a base coat that I like so I do not polish my nails without it.

**Q: Is this polish easily removed with regular polish remover?**
A: Yes it removes easily with regular nail polish remover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price.
*by M***I on September 4, 2026*

Definitely helped my peeling, brittle and easily broken nails. Like the other reviews say however, doesn’t last long. To be fair I am doing dishes daily and using bleach. I find myself reapplying every 3 days there about. The color is very pretty. 2 coats gives a hint of rose and 3 really is pretty. First pic is one coat second is two coats
