    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.

    I've used this system for quite a while with good results. Recently, I began using it wilh a base coat. It makes my nails healthier, eliminates stains & seems to make the polish last longer. I also learned that leaving the side edges unpainted helps too. The overall manicure looks more professional now. I love the color and have been wearing it for....well...long time!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Great at-home manicure option

    I bought this starter set and have already purchased more base colors! The curved brush makes application a breeze and it dries quickly compared to typical polishes. It definitely is long wear, but make sure to seal the edges of the top coat because that's where it starts chipping first.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    I really, really like this line from Essie! I've never been one to splurge on polishes other than the top coat but I do find this line to actually hold up well! The top coat works great but this line with the essie gel setter top coat works awesome as well. I wish the polish was just a little more affordable but if you can snag a coupon or deal from Ulta it's worthwhile. (I haven't seen coupons for this anywhere else!) The two pack saves you a little $ if you're needing a new top coat or just trying it out. The pink is great if you like nude nails with just a hint of pink, if you want to see more color I would pick a different shade. Keep the new colors coming!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    See through. You need four coats for it to look pink.
