This is amazing
This is the best topcoat I've used hands down! I can't say enough good things about it. It makes your nails look so shiny and smooth, it has a gel like finish as the name implies. I've worn this paired with the gel couture nail polish in pinned up and it doesn't chip no matter how rough I am with do...

Poor Quality
I recieved this top coat along with a color in my Influenster box this month. I was excited to try it since I've always been a huge Essie fan, but I was super bummed at the results. It looked beautiful and applied so well, which is why I'm giving it two stars. The applicator was amazing, I always ha...

Easy smooth application and no strong scent
Easy application. Nice shine as an addition. Not a strong scent and dries quickly. Haven't tested chip resistance but so far has held up very well
Chipped fast, no protection!
The top coat also applied easily, which was great, but it completely let me down in terms of performance. It claims to be chip-resistant and long-lasting, but that was not my experience at all. My polish started chipping after just a day and a half, and by the second day, the polish was peeling right off. I was careful with my hands and avoided anything that might cause chipping, but it made no difference. For a product that's supposed to protect and extend the wear of nail polish, it did not deliver. I expected way more, and this top coat was just not worth it.
The Essie top coat is shiny and offers lots of protection
I tried this top coat.It is very long lasting.I only had to touch up one time.I am not a professional and I thought it was easy and long lasting for me to apply.It is shiny and my nails looked pretty for the holidays.
I like how long this top coat lasts
I really like this gel couture top coat. The top coat leaves a shiny finish that dried in 60 seconds without needing a uv light making it easier for an at home use without needing to invest in a light. The polish lasted for 7 days before needing a touch up as well. I really enjoyed using the polish as well.
Pairs well with gel color
Quick and easy topcoat application to add shine to the base gel color. Honestly, you don't really need it. The base coat is fine without it. But it will help your color last longer. You could also use this alone for a shoe by clear coat if you wanted. Received free to try.
