Gel by essie Longwear Nail Polish, Clear Shiny Topcoat, Up To 15 Day Wear

Last year I stopped getting my nails done in a salon with gel, as I was worried my nails were becoming brittle. I purchased sally hanson nail polish first and this was fine, but I found it chipped after a couple days and I was fed up with having to redo them. My friend recommended Essie Gel Couture, and the difference was crazy. I still use the Sally Hanson Neil strengthener as I find that does make a difference, but then I put the Essie colour and this top coat on and my manicure will last for 10-14 days. I find the top coat works well over other brands as well, but works best with the Essie colours. Another bonus is it’s really fast drying too, so you don’t have to sit in nail jail for an hour after applying.

This is the holy grail. I put this top coat on earlier today, dries within 60 seconds and sets almost exactly like gel nail polish. My main issue with polishes like these is that they take ages to dry and are often ‘soft’ which means they get dented / ruined so easily. This formula however is the exact opposite, I have tried every way to ‘dent’ the polish but my nails still look freshly painted! This is honestly the best nail polish experience I have ever had. Not a single air bubble in sight, just a perfect application. I highly recommend this product and cannot wait to buy more!

I haven’t really invested in top coat before but I would say after using this it’s definitely worth it. Definitely prolongs the life of polish on your nails and leaves a lovely shine.

Great top coat, used with the base colour, lasts for days.

Best top coat, lasts a week. Dries v quickly

This is nothing short of a miracle! My nails have been really damaged by gels and I have been slowly growing them out. I recently went on holiday and was tempted to have gels again. However, I thought I'd give this a go as it had good reviews. I was more than pleased with it with a full two weeks wear! Incredible! I totally recommend this top coat 🙂

Quick drying high gloss top coat with excellent coverage. Thick consistency but easy to apply with a few strokes and no streaking. Makes final step of my manicure a breeze! One coat is sufficient - can reapply after a few days to refresh manicure. Very impressed - I’ve already repurchased!

Shiny sure but chips very easily

Gel non brillant mais bien mat, assez étonnant comme résultat, il faut aimer !

Schöner Lack. Sieht bei Tageslicht einfach toll aus 🙂

Résultat magnifique !
