Long lasting but stains after removal
3 out of 5 stars
xo - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
With well prepped cuticles, this nail polish will last perfectly for well over a week. It’s pretty easy to remove, with a little more effort than regular polish but nothing crazy. However, this polish stained my nails so badly. You can see exactly where the polish was and the stain is not coming off even after multiple tries with nail polish remover. This was specifically with rock the runway (red). I haven’t tried other colors so I can’t speak for them but it’s definitely something to keep in mind!
Finally the nail polish problem has been solved

I am blown away. I spend $45 on dip nails and they chip around 10 days and ruin my nails (if I peel off the dip). I am on day 7 with this nail polish and no chips! Saving so much money and also love the top coat as it makes the nails look like a gel manicure. Highly recommend!

Terrible. Chipped in less than 24 hours. Unable to return since it was used. Very spendy so very frustrating

Hi there! We are disappointed to hear about your experience with our Gel Couture Polish in the shade You Ca-Dy It, and that you had chipping. We will share this information with our teams. For Best results we suggest always using a Top Coat like our Gel Couture Top Coat after polishing. We hope this information is helpful and you give it another try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Gossamer Garments nail polish is a stunning top coat that delivers a glazed, crushed-metal finish in just one swipe. I love that it is infused with metallic pearls and instantly transforms my manicure into a chic, luminous look. Absolutely gorgeous!
Cute and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product with a gel top coat is a winning chip resistant combination especially for natural nails. I love the bubble gum pink hue you can get. I did 3 coats to achieve this color. When I added the top coat it made a nice pearly pink. I plan to reuse this product anytime I want to wear my natural nails. Also the last pic id what my nails looked like after 10 days. No chips!
Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shades are incredible, the polish is in the color ‘Gossamer Garments’ which is a beautiful pink and the top coat is in ‘Glazed Chrome’ that gives it this nice frost. It’s a long lasting polish and gives that same gel effect that a trip to the salon would give. I want these in every color now! And did I mention that it is vegan, 8 free and never animal tested!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a beautiful sheer pink. Very sheer with one coat, dries quickly. When applying more coats to build up the color takes a bit longer to dry but worth it. Very Trendy.
Pretty in pink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how the Gossamer Garments is a blush, yet nude natural pink. I think it’s perfect if you want that non color, color look for your nails. It dries quick, and it really only takes about 2 good coats for the color to pop.
Doesn’t look great on tanner skin tones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a big fan of this shade. I also don’t like how if you wanted to wear it alone without the top (step 2) you would have to add more than two layers to get it to look right. It doesn’t go on like a gel-like polish but it honestly look like and behavior like regular nail polish until you add step 2. Now to the important part for me for any nail polish: does it chip right away?Yes, kind of. The first day I avoided putting my hand in water as much as I usually do, and they held up, but when I washed my hair and did the dishes, they were quick to chip, so I would say avoid much water and wear gloves, and they will last longer.

Hi there dollfacemelody_6810, We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this light pink sheer with cherry tones. Be sure to apply this longwear nail color to bare nails, (no base coat) and after 2 coats of color and the top coat, your mani should last for more than a busy week.
Milky pink polish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a milky pink it looks great on but don’t go over two coats, it starts to look weird. I like how this polish just takes away a subtle yellow color on the nails. Although I like the benefits of the polish I would wear it by itself, I don’t like it. Definitely using the top coat. The polish last about a week then it will start chipping off and peeling off, like in the second pic.
Great polish!

I love this gel nail polish because it dries super fast, which is perfect when you’re in a hurry. The top coat gives it that shiny, Shelic look that makes your nails look straight out of the salon but way cheaper! Definitely recommend getting both the color and top coat bottles for the full effect. It’s been my go to for easy, long lasting manicures at home.
Too sheer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t a fan of this line. It’s VERY sheer and thin. No amount of shaking the bottle could fix it, so I think that’s just how the polish is supposed to be. I had to do multiple layers of the polish before it even began to show up. It’s just too thin to do anything. If you love the minimalist, barely there polish aesthetic then this might be for you, but it was a no for me. It’s a shame because I like the concept.

Hi there vlbac2_6458. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture color ‘gossamer garments’. We wish this light pink sheer nail color was the look you were hoping for. To get a gorgeous light pink with an opaque finish, try the Gel Couture color ‘matter of fiction’. https://www.essie.com/nail-polish/longwear/pinks/matter-of-fiction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Applied easy and dried fast within about 5 minutes (no UV light needed). I applied two layers to get the color even. I love the subtlety of this shade. I thought it’d be too cool toned, but was flattering after adding the top coat. Didn’t chip at all and only starting lifting from the nail bed around day 10! Super satisfied with this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not a bad idea to have these products at home to solve our women's emergency. It is quite long-lasting since it is a gel that works with the lamp. The texture is normal like any nail polish and you must keep it well covered so that it doesn't dry quickly. Drying with the lamp is super fast, it is ready in a matter of seconds, it has a beautiful shine and finish, not at all opaque.
Lovely color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my favorite colors. I honestly think that if you have dark skin, this color looks fantastic. I loved the finish and it’s just perfect. I also loved the unique shape of the bottle. I really recommend this. I also like that it doesn’t have a strong scent, perfect for those who get dizzy like me.
Excellent finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a good formula. It never dries and getting smudgy. Its not durable at all , i use my hands alot. The quality is like a cheap polish. The sizing is good and the fit and comfort is good to hold.

Hi there deebc658_1134, we want to understand what happened just as much as you do. That’s not the results busy hands should see! This long wear formula should be applied to clean, bare nails, with no base coat. Just 2 coats of color and the Gel Couture Top coat, each layer should take no more than 5 minutes to dry.
Super easy application and great finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time trying this new 2 step system and formula for the gel finish. The application was so easy and dry time was surprisingly fast. The scent is the same as all other nail polishes. I like that the top coat helps leave a shinier and smoother finish when you’re done and the polish feels like it hardens more than regular nail polish. I am using the shade 49 Gossamer Garments and 02 Blushed Metal as my top coat.
