essie gel couture, Long-Lasting Nail Polish, 8-free Vegan, Fashion Freedom, Green, In-Vest In Style, 0.46 fl oz

I purchased the gel couture top coat and I don’t think I’ve ever had a manicure last this long!! The included pic was taken today, and I painted my nails one week ago! It still looks basically perfect, although there is one small chip on my other hand that I only got yesterday. The polish feels nice and smooth when dried. The brush is on the thicker side, which I prefer as it’s easier to apply.I was in a rush while painting my nails but the top coat dried relatively quick, I can’t remember but maybe about 10 minutes or so ?? I was worried about that since some other reviewers said it would take HOURS, but not for me. This is now my go-to top coat!! Love it.I am also wearing the ORLY bonder rubberized base coat, which I think helps the manicure last longer as well. The color is ILNP Fairy Dust, highly recommend!!!!!!

I really love the finish of this topcoat, much more than any others I’ve tried. It goes on smooth but retains some thickness when it dries - and it truly dries fast. I’m still careful with my nails for a while after doing them, but this coat doesn’t immediately smudge like others do. It takes a good bang onto a solid surface to ding it up. I have very thin nails and gels tend to damage them, so the extra thickness is welcome. It helps protect them. It can chip or peel a little quicker than some others, but it’s worth it for the dry speed and thick gel-looking coat. I bought another bottle and the matte version to try.

The surface smooths out when applying, so a little smudge on the color coat smooths out with the top coat. It is super shiny. The longest lasting polish i have! I’d say 7 days of wear consistently. As low as 5 and up to 10.

For years I've been on the hunt for a fingernail polish that lasts, helping me to curb my annoying habit of chewing my nails. I tried many different brands and even purchased professional nail kits to use at home. They all either damaged my nails or chipped too quickly (including the "regular" Essie polish) making them break. But this long-lasting Essie polish, combined with the top coat, finally answers my needs. As usual, the polish chips a little quicker on my right hand since it gets more use, but overall this polish lasts maybe 10 days and is easy to remove. This picture shows one coat of Of Corset + one coat of the matte top coat. It offers a natural-looking nail and I'm a huge fan of the matte top coat. I just hope they expand their color options in the future!

Cute color that isn’t too noticeable. Great for natural nails and stays on for at least a week

After trying many, many topcoats to prevent chipping and wearing, this top coat has been my holy grail top coat for about 4 years now. It is shiny, quick-drying, prevents chips, and removes very easily. It does not get sticky or clumpy easily so a bottle lasts me a while. I also love the flat head of the brush. I feel like the price is fair for how great of a product this is. I will continually re-purchase this item!

Dries pretty quick. Feels like salon gel nails, no chips.

Easy to use. Great results.

Essie gel nail polishes work so well! They have great pigmentation and last pretty close to a week with rough use (dishes, working, playing with my kids). I have a bunch of colours and will continue to purchase them for a longtime!

I've been a fan of Essie polishes for years now, so I was happy try a new shade. I love the Longwear line, and truly find it to last longer than traditional polishes! Just be mindful that you need the Longwear topcoat as well!

This top coat works very well, nice and glossy, shiny and little bit thicker like gel and my nail polish lasts longer. Plus it applies effortlessly, this my second bottle! It’s my go to top coat!

I ordered the same Essie Nail polish in the Bling It colour, just like others, but I feel like we re not all talking about the same thing…. The green that I received is definitely not eye catching or bright, the way other persons say…. I guess that perceptions might differ, but I find this colour to be a dulled down sage green at best….It is a muted medium to light sage green, with some warm undertones….. it will not be everybody’s cup of tea, I can assure you……In any case, I have never tried this kind of Essie polish before (I do have a few of the rectangle bottle type) and I was pleasantly impressed.The polish has good consistency at it is easy to work with , it did not flood the cuticles much. It also dries in a reasonable amount of time, although it is not fast drying.The brush has a tendency to lift off whatever you laid down already, so try not to do overlapping strokes.The opacity leaves to be desired, this is patchy in the first layer and still not opaque in two layers, I can see my nail lines ( see pictures, two layers there, except first picture which shows the first layer) for longer nails I would say that for sure you will need 3 layer or more to reach opacity.The texture is smooth and a bit like gel polish, there is a pearlescent shimmer throughout but it’s discrete.So I think that this is a nice polish.The colour is unusual but not ugly, I imagine it looking great on a dark colour skin or at least warmer undertones.The wearing time: ok, but I already got some edge wear and tiny chips, and it is the third day of wear.My advise:- shake the bottle well before use- apply a very thin layer first (even if it’s patchy) let it dry and then apply a thicker layer second, and sort of float it on top so as not to disturb the previous colourRecommendedThank you
