Essie Gel Couture Long-Lasting Nail Polish, Vegan, Clear, Shiny Top Coat, 0.46 fl oz

Absolutely love this set. 2 coats of the pink creates the perfect soap nail look and the top coat dries it down and locks it in so fast. I easily get 10+ days of wear too. I will be purchasing more colors.

V I Please #304 is an absolutely gorgeous, rich saturated beautiful cool toned red raspberry pink color. It's so flattering. The formula is buttery smooth and it glides on like a dream. The brush is amazingly efficient and it makes polishing so simple. It does all the work for you, just glide the brush down the nail and the coverage is instantly perfect. It's really wonderful. My entire manicure took me 15 minutes in total to paint on two coats of (step 1) color, then five minutes wait time, and then one coat of the Gel Couture (step 2) topcoat. It was completely dry to the touch a few minutes later. It looks so glossy and shines like glass. I am honestly blown away by this line of polish. I have used some of the best brands available in my decades as a licensed professional cosmetologist and this one rivals them all. In my opinion, it's beyond fantastic. Updated 4/9/26 to add a pic of "You Can-Dy It" - it's a gorgeous rose-pink-coral kind of mix that reminds me of spring flowers. So easy to paint on and so pretty!

THE BEST IN TERMS OF LONGEVITY, EASY TO PUT ON AND TAKE OFF. PLEASE BUY THIS. In fact, I just came back to this polish after months of no use. My nails are so fragile due to fake nails for 20+ years. I'm no longer using fake nails and my real nailbeds seem permanently destroyed. This nail polish kit in fairy pink has completely solved this problem! It dries fast as well. This works perfectly. I'm so happy to be back with this solution. What to go Essie! You've figured this out so well! Thank you so much! Problem solved.

Essie Gel Nail Polish is my absolute favorite and my number-one go-to—I wear it every single week. The quality is consistently excellent, with smooth application, rich color, and a polished finish that looks salon-worthy at home. The shade “It Factor” is a standout. I receive more compliments wearing this color than any other polish I own. It’s especially flattering for those with a spring or autumn color palette, and if gold tones tend to look great on you, this shade will truly bring out your best. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality gel polish with a universally flattering color, this one is a winner.

The color is absolutely beautiful, and the top coat is very shiny and long-lasting. The only drawback is that the smell is way too strong.

Absolutely loved this nail polish! The quality is fantastic—smooth application and vibrant color. Shipping was super fast too. Highly recommend!

I've gone through a lot of different top coats over the years and this is the best one. It makes the nail polish last longer than anything else I've used, that's a winner to me. It also has a good shine. Unusual bottle shape is unnecessary, though, inconvenient to hold, but it is not a big deal compared to its benefits.

I have been using the Essie gel couture two-step nail polish for a long time now. I absolutely love it. I usually get about a week and a half of wear out of it, but that’s also with me washing a lot of dishes and my hands a lot. I love the finish of the gel colors! I absolutely love the Haute to Trot color. I got it for Valentine’s Day, and my husband said it was super feminine and pretty on me. He loved it too. It’s very easy to apply and I think it dries fairly quickly. It’s way cheaper than going to a nail salon so I just keep doing them at home. This brand has a lot of amazing colors so it’s fun to change it up often. Removal of the polish is very easy as well if you have a good nail polish remover.

This colour is very vibrant! I would say more on the hot pink side than a candy red/pink like in the photos, but doesn't take away from the high quality colour. A lot of coverage even with just one coat

Ein wunderschöner zartrosa milchiger Farbton, der nicht vergilbt!

نوعيه سيئه جدا و ردئ

Colore molto elegante, cercavo uno smalto semitrasparente e naturale, questo è quello che mi ci voleva. Arrivato con un giorno in anticipo.

The Essie gel couture longwear top coat is one of my favorite top coats. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to use this without a UV gel lamp, but it is actually made to work without one; the "gel couture" in the name is just meant to simulate the look of gel nail polish. Like the rest of the Essie nail products, this has a wide brush that allows you to cover most nails in one stroke, and it does not remove or disturb the underlying nail polish. It dries fairly quickly and leaves a very glossy finish. It helps keep my nail polish chip-free for about an extra day compared to using my Essie quick dry nail polish without it. I would recommend this. The Essie "Here to stay" base coat is great (not to be confused with the Essie "grow stronger" base coat, which is awful). It has a wide brush which makes it easy to apply to each nail in one stroke, dries quickly so I don't have to wait long before applying my nail polish, and keeps my Essie quick dry nail polish on for 2-3 days without chipping. I would recommend this.
