Q: I see dries fast in the reviews, but how long is fast? And, with that fast drying is it set right away or do I still need to be careful the first few hours?
submitted by Summertime234 - 2 months ago
A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us about the Dopamine Rush Collection Gel Couture Nail Polish. We suggest Essie Gel Couture polish, including the color and top coat, dries relatively quickly, with each coat taking about 10 minutes to dry. After the final top coat, it's generally recommended to wait at least 15-20 minutes for it to fully cure, although some find it dry to the touch within 5-10 minutes. We also have a our quck dry Essie expressie Nail polish if you interested in a product that dries quickly. We hope you check them both out and enjoy your results!

Buy I Can Dy it! Long lasting. Beautiful pink for summer!

Jess - 18 days ago
This is the most long lasting nail polish I’ve ever used. I painted 2 coats of “I can-dy it” and paired it with the step 2 essie gel setter top coat. My nails & toes looked like I got them done at the salon!My nails lasted an entire 9 days with 1 small chip. I work in a factory. I deal with cardboard and heavy bins of parts and wear gloves all day long. My nails are normally trash the day I go to work. I am wondering if it’s only this collection or if the whole line is this long lasting and professional looking. My toes don’t have any chips and still have high shine and look beautiful! Came on here to look at other colors to purchase.

Seemed to last pretty well. Did chip/peel some although advertised as chip resistant... unfortunately when I removed it, the color was stained on my nails and I had to buff them to remove it... returned this color.

Hey there Victoria! Thank you for your feedback on the Dopamine Rush Collection Gel Couture Nail Polish, in the shade Dopamine Rusha, we are sad to hear that this did not meet your expectations, and you did have chipping and peeling as well as staining when you removed. We understand that this can be frustrating, and we will share this information with our production team. We hope that you will continue to try and use our products with satisfaction in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good and quality product. A reliable polish I would use again. The scent is mild and drying doesn't take too long over all. The paint seems buildable and is nice. The packaging is a bit unique

Anyone looking for long-lasting and high-quality polish BUY THIS. I have been doing my own nails for years, so I have used almost every brand of polish you can buy. From experience, this line from Essie is the best I have ever used and I recommend it to everyone. If I could afford to buy every colour from this line I would do it. Lol.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Influenster and Essie, I was able to try the Dopamine Rush with Top Coat fingernail polish. First off, the little bottle is really cute. Secondly, the color is just beautiful. Both coats dry really quick, and the top coat leaves a gorgeous shine.
Awesome 🤩

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This applied very well and dries down quickly. It doesn’t have as potent of a smell as other Greek polishes so I enjoyed that. I think the packaging is neat too. I just did not like this color for me. At first I was excited about trying a bold color but it just didn’t suit my skin tone. Will be passing on.

This is one of the worst formulations of a nail polish I have tried. It is somehow both too runny and too tacky. It was impossible to apply. And good luck taking it off once you realize how horrible it is--the pigment WILL get stuck in your cuticles for days and defy any nail polish remover. I've tried other essie gel couture colors and didn't have this issue. TERRIBLE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Gel Couture nail polish in the shade “Dopamine Rush” is a beautiful teal-green color. It’s a bit bright for my everyday tastes but I really liked the formula so I ended up purchasing the same polish in 2 other colors. The polish was easy to apply but best part is how quickly it dries! I don’t have time to sit and wait 30min+ for my nails to dry. So many formulas claim to be “quick drying” but will still mess up over an hour later. I had no problems with this polish drying. It claims to last 14 days, with the top coat I was able to get ~7 days of wear, but I’m really hard on my nails so a week of chip-free wear is impressive. Overall I’d recommend Essie’s Gel Couture system, especially since I’ve already purchased more colors. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
So Shiny and Long Lasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm not the best at doing my own nails, and when I do them at home, they never really last long. I even have a UV light for gel nail polish, but that polish usually lasts me a day if I'm lucky. So I was skeptical when I received the Essie Gel Couture polish and top coat. This top coat is amazing! It dried in no time flat, and my nails lasted almost two weeks. I think if I were to have used dishwashing gloves, they would have lasted longer. Paired with the amazing color Fuel Your Life, my pink nails looked so cute! It goes on easily, and it lasts. My nails were shiny the entire time I wore the polish which never happens with other brands.
