Long lasting and great application brush!
I usually use nearly nude colors/glitter polish when painting my nails because you can't see the nail polish begin to chip away a day or so later. I bought this set because of the color and to see if this darker tone would last longer. I am pleasantly surprised that it's been almost 5 days and the n...

Does not last anywhere near as long as gel
The color i got was fairy tailor, i had to apply 3 coats to get any sort of opaqueness. After spending all that time painting, they only lasted me literally 2 days before they started chipping! Ive had regular nail polish from the drug store last longer than this product. I would NOT reccomend.

No chipping but not the best coverage

It's a little clear so if that's a bother then go with a different shade, but they truly haven't chipped and I type on a computer, lift weights, and live a rambunctious lifestyle and will be buying more colors for sure! And it's 2 step = time saver!
Holy grail!
It's helped my nails grow stronger after having acrylics. Doesn't last as long as it says but I just take it off and reapply it once a week. I work for Ulta DC and it holds up longer than regular polish.
Kinda Magical
Quick drying and somehow just smooths itself out. I actually bumped my nails twice after putting on the top coat and it just self-leveled so that it doesn't even look like I smudged it at all. I've never had that happen with a nail polish and really thought I was going to have to start over. The polish coat is the perfect sheer neutral if you're pale and just evens out the nail color (I get those little white marks on my nails and this blends them out) and looks really classy. Would be a great base if you wanted to do French tips or if you just needed a neutral/really professional, polished color.
Love this line
Seriously an amazing line. I used to skimp out on nail polish prices, until I tried essie's gel line. I personally find the lasting power to surpass any other brand I've tried, and I'm fairly rough with my hands/nails. Also, as someone who bites their nails (especially from stress) I really like just peeling these off, once it's really to repaint them. I notice I don't bite my nails as much, but that's just my own personal plus lol
Really does look like gel
I bought this after my manicure chipped and I didn't want to go and get another one, just needed a polish change and a good file. Went to ULTA and bought this along with their $2 nail files and it looks exactly like the $60+ manicures with gel polish that I've gotten in the past, except this one is normal nail polish and it won't need to be taken off with the drill. Save your money and give this a try!
