Gel by essie Nail Polish, Shiny Topcoat, Clear Topcoat Nail Polish, Gel Couture, Up to 15 Days of Wear, No UV Light, Longlasting High Shine Nail Varnish, 13.5ml

I love this brand and the fact it is gel polish. I use this with the baby pink french manicure gel and it looks beautiful. If you apply it properly it even looks like a salon made manicure. It’s very easy to apply and forgiving as it’s colourless, but ensure you allow to dry fully or you might think it’s dry and get dents in it or things stuck to it. Great value for money as you’re not spending loads on extortionate manicures in the salon.

Absolutely love this topcoat! The Essie Gel Couture Shiny Topcoat gives my nails a gorgeous, high-gloss finish that genuinely looks like a salon gel manicure — but without needing any UV light. It dries quickly, feels smooth, and really locks in the colour underneath. I’m amazed at how long it lasts too. I easily get up to 10 days of chip-free wear, which is far better than most regular polish topcoats I’ve tried. The 13.5ml bottle is a great size and feels like it will last ages. If you want a long-lasting, shiny gel-look finish with zero fuss, this topcoat is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this top coat. It looks and feels like a real gel manicure, and lasts very well without chipping. Makes my nails feel very strong and dries very quickly. The bottle does seem to go a bit gloopy towards the end of the bottle which is a shame, but I would still not hesitate to buy again over other brands. I tried other premium (incl. Sally Hansen miracle gel) offers at a similar price point, but they are nowhere near as good quality.

Easy to apply. Great c oversge. Gives a great sheen to finished nails. Didn't prevent the colour from chipping after 3 days, but easy to re-apply. Both dry quickly, dry evenly giving a professional finish. Happy with product.

Superb topcoat!! Polish has lasted 10 days with minimal wear. I will make sure I cap the tips with topcoat next time to see if this makes it last even better. I can never sit still long enough for my polish to set so it doesn’t dint and smudge, this really helped dry my nails quickly enough for a fidget fingers like me, definitely recommend!

Love this topcoat polish, I used with another brand nail polish and it worked really well as well. Stays on for about a week/week and a half. It's pretty thick. I wish it was a bit cheaper though.

Shiny as. Doesn't seem to chip or flake off like other high street topcoats.

I bought this after a friend recommended it when I complained about how long my top coat took to dry. This one dries incredibly fast and leaves a glossy, gel-like finish. It’s easy to apply, and I no longer have to wait ages before getting on with my day. Highly recommend!
