Ya’ll need to start specifying what color you bought when leaving reviews. Anyway, I got Dopamine Rush and it’s a beautiful color, but holy crap it stained my nails for weeks.

The color is so beautiful. But the drying time is not good. I tried two times one i thought i did layers too thick so that why I believe it did not dry good. The second time I tried, I made sure to do thin layers but even then, the next day put some socks on and the sock got stuck to the color. I was beginning to think I had to cure it but it does not say anything about it.

Great two coat color! Short dry time because only two coats are needed for this specific color.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie has always been a solid brand and these gel polishes are no different. Long lasting and easy to apply. And such a cute color! Doesn’t take long to dry and looks great.
Great polish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although this is not something I will ever wear on my fingernails…it certainly will be a staple on my toes! Beautiful shade for summer, has great coverage in 2 coats, and dries really quick! Will definitely pick up more colors from this line!

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful color! Perfect for spring! This polish isn’t streaky and it has a good brush applicator. It makes doing my nails so easy almost as if I went to the salon!
Amazing!

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 🤩

Essie has the most beautiful colors I’ve ever seen and lots more to choose from than most. Essie lasts longer on the nails than other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just found my next summer color collection! I'm in love with this color and the shade range offered by Essie is so expansive. The quality and quick drying time make this nail polish easy to apply perfectly. Take my advice, get the collection!

[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 has a wide range of great nail polish colors. They are so easy to apply and dries really fast. This vibrant pink color is also great. It also doesn’t have a strong scent as most nail polishes do.
