Finally a product that made want to write a review
Ok, so I always get chipped nails. Like ALWAYS. Apparently I have really oily nails. Go figure! Even my gel nails get chipped if the salons do not follow certain steps to really remove any excess oil from my nails (though I must admit that Essie Gels never got chipped - but not all salons can affor...

Chips on fifth day
Pretty color, great brush, but it didn't last anywhere near 14 days. Also it's shrunk so much anyway from the cuticle and the tips I couldn't wear it much longer even if it didn't chip. I did wash some dishes so I didn't expect it to last 14 days but expected more than 4.

Love 😍 it
Thank you influencer for this amazing product I love it , love the color pink 🩷 very beautiful Love it I haven't had the chance to do my own nails . but I didn't want to show the pictures .
Cute soft pink
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is two coats of the Gossamer Garments. If you are into simple look then this is for you. It's a cute soft pink color. I love the glossy look and the smooth feel on my nails.
Natural vibes
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] "Gossamer Garments" is a beautiful light pink sheer polish with a soft cherry tone… it's perfect for a natural, clean look. It's easy to apply and looks dreamy on natural nails. You do need to apply a few layers so it doesn't look streaky. I love that it's longwear and vegan too! Just make sure you don't use it on acrylics—it's made only for natural nails.
Pretty but very light
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I wanted this to be more pigmented - it was overshadowed easily by the chrome top coat. I love a light pink and will come back to this one both with and without the chrome, but it took about 3 coats to really see the color.
Natural look!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Beautiful color! I am a sucker for Pink colors and the natural tone this gave my nails is something I truly love. The nail polish lasts seeing it is a gel polish and that is a plus in my book. I recommend maybe doing two coats using a uv light(best) or letting air dry. Definitely recommend trying this color by Essie.
