My Go-To Nail Product
This is my absolutely favorite gel nail product. I've been wearing this (with Essie Fairy Tailor Gel Polish) for years as my go-to. I love that you don't need a UV light for it to set (less products I need to store and it avoids the bad UV rays on my skin). It also dries quickly and makes the manicure last longer. My manicure normally lasts at least a week, often closer to two.

Love!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving the dark moody blue I love that the product dries so quickly without leaving streaks. This product is perfect for when you’re in a rush and want a professional look. Like that it doesn’t chip right away.

Meh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product? Ummm sure - here are my issues. 1. It doesn’t stay on any better than any other nail polish. Can we have individuals that actually use their hands? Dishes - laundry - kickboxing - lifting weights - because literally anything is like boom crack. 2. The color isn’t my jam - I picked a different one but this was delivered and sadly it has more of a brown tinge to it when it’s on and I thought it would be more vampy red!

Everywhere nail polish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly its such a nice shade to keep in my bag for quick touch ups. If you are looking for reliable wear definitely recommended. The scent is lovely too. Makes your hand look polished.

Luxury nails in under 5 mins!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packaging that the gel polish came in. I love how easy the gel is to use and it dries really fast. The bottle design gives a luxury feel. The best nail polish out.

Perfect after a whole week!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cute little contoured bottle of gel polish by essie is excellent for beginners and professionals alike. My 13 year old has already commandeered it, since she saw how shiny my nails were. I painted them a week ago and finished them with the essie topcoat, but they look exactly the same as when I first did them! I haven't removed them yet, but I hear it works just like polish, we shall see. So far, no need because they look excellent.

This nail polish is outstanding!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from influencer in exchange for my honest feedback. this is hands-down, my favorite nail polish. whenever I use other brands, my nails chipped instantly. But with Essie, my polish stays flawless for almost a week. The colors selection is outstanding. I love this red color. It has a little bit of glitter and it makes it look amazing! I can’t wait to purchase more colors. The topcoat is outstanding and for superior to any brand that I’ve ever used. I like to apply to coats and make sure that it dries completely in between before applying the second coat. I really appreciate the new design of the bottles. They’re easier to grip and easier to open. I highly recommend this brand to everyone!

Perfect colors for this time of the year!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been one heck of a busy winter so far, but I have promised myself to take time this year to do things that make me happy. One of the easiest and most rewarding ways has been deciding that from now on, I will sit and take time to make my nails look pretty each week! We can’t escape the cold & snow here just yet, so I’ve decided to embrace it by being one with it haha! This week I am going to finally take time to make my nails look pretty. We have been moving my parents and it’s made me feel like I just need to stop and enjoy myself a bit. My daughter and I both plan on taking time on Monday to do things we love and enjoy & this is going to be step 1! We both love Essie nail polish and have used it a lot in the past, so we are fully aware that it is amazing & we absolutely LOVE this color! Beautiful & lasts for so much longer than other brands we’ve used!

Beautiful Nail Polish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is sooo rich! Really great coverage with two coats and dried relatively quickly. It has lasted too… still going strong at 3 weeks since application. Love the bottle shape and with the base coat, this will be my new favorite nail polish line.

Beautiful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Gel by Essie Liquid Diamonds Collection. The color Frost Yourself is a beautiful light pink shimmer that's perfect for winter. You can easily build it up for more intensity. It lasts a long time without chipping and applies easily.

A pretty pink but needs multiple coats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am reviewing the shade Frost Yourself from their Essie Liquid Diamonds collection. It's a pink sheer, polish with a fine shimmer. The color is a very light pink but it has a beautiful shine. The only thing that was a slight pain was that I needed three coats to really have some color payoff. But once I got the right number of coats, I was happy with it! It lasts quite a while if you use the gel top coat (step 2) with it so that I loved!

"Shimmering Elegance: Frost Yourself with Essie!"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just tried Essie Gel Couture Liquid Diamonds in “Frost Yourself” and I’m obsessed! This gorgeous pink with shimmer gives my nails the perfect touch of glamour. The smooth gel formula applies effortlessly, and with just two coats, I get stunning coverage. Plus, it dries quickly and lasts for days without chipping. A must have for any nail polish lover!

Just get it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOAH! I’ve never had my nails done this quickly before. And when I say dry, I mean in about 2 minutes it was solid. I clicked my other nails through it and usually it would have smudged or had a line go through it. This did not budge or get messed up at all. I’m actually quite amazed that it didn’t require a nail dryer to activate the gel.

Goes on smoothly, looks great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This went on so smoothly and covered so well, that I could get away with only one coat. It was not thick and gloppy or so thin that it required multiple coats. It felt oh so smooth once dry. Removal was also a breeze. It has a nice shine to it and looks great. I’m happy with this polish!

Another great nail polish from Essie!! 😍
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ALWAYS love Essie, so I'm a little bit biased, but I'm in LOVE with the new Liquid Diamonds Gel Polish Collection from Essie! So far, I've only gotten to try one shade from the line: 65 - Frost Yourself, and I really love the shade! It's light, love of opaque, light pink, and sparkly, so I'd normally use this type of shade as a topper. I did try it out by itself, and it was cute, but I had to put a bunch on. I tried it with a darker pink shade, too, and it was SO gorgeous! I HIGHLY recommend using Frost Yourself as a topper! It was super easy to remove, too. I had to remove my nail polish for a video that I shot, so I needed to get the nail polish off of my nails quicker than usual. I used a soy based and acetone free nail polish remover, because my nails can't handle acetone or alcohol much, and it came off with ease! I think this nail polish is super cute, it dries quickly, even when it's a bit thick, and it lasts! Essie is my favorite nail polish brand for a reason: they're an all-around great brand with great products! I LOVE collecting their mail Polish shades, and there's are a TON! Another score by Essie, and I can't wait to try the rest of the Liquid Diamonds line! I HIGHLY recommend trying this line out, because I've seen the other shares and OMG SO cute!!! 😍

Essie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love Essie nail products it is always easy to paint nails, needed only coat to have a good finish but a second one would have been perfect. Drying time was good. Would love to try other colors

Looks good, not as long-lasting as gels
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Goes on nice and thick, like you don't even need the second coat. Shine is great on day one but to be totally honest, it starts to dull by day 2. The claim is your mani will last 2 weeks, like salon gels, but this is wearing just like normal nailpolish, for me. Love that it is vegan and it looks good, just doesn't meet that specific claim, in my experience.

Nice navy color with a hint of sparkle that last
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed trying this "Ice Ice Navy" color polish. Its a deep navy color with a slight hint of sparkle. It dried super quick and if you cap your nails it should last almost 2 weeks, I got about 11 days before I noticed chips happening. I do use a top coat so that will factor in. Overall I liked that it dried quickly, only took 1 coat, and lasted a good while, plus that it isnt strong smelling!
