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...

I will try it again but…
I used this with an Essie Green Gel Polish, which is a gorgeous green, and it chipped within two days of use but I wore it for several days because I really loved the color! I would try again and only use one coat to seal. I got this complimentary!

Long lasting!
I love Essie nail polishes and the gel-couture line just makes me love them even more! I love that this top coat gives me long lasting gel-like results without having to go to the nail salon! Perfect for painting my nails at home and easily removable when I want to change it up.

I received this free for review. It claims to keep the color lasting 14 days with a top coat reapplication on day 7. It's supposed to look like gel with no UV. I think it looks fairly decent for not truly being gel.The glass bottle has a twisted design. All the corners make it kinda hard to mix when I roll the bottle in my hands. I enjoy the brush shape, flat with a rounded tip. It makes such a difference with paint results. The top coat has the same twisted bottle design but not the twisted brush design. They are on the pricey side, and you need to buy them both to use the 2 step system. I found that the nail polish from this line chipped by day 6. By day 7, a top coat would not be able to hide the chips. I think it could last maybe 10 days with reapplication of top coat on day 5. I would only get this if there was a color I loved.
Ehh just okay!
I honestly was expecting more. Use an Essie top coat already not gel and can't really tell the difference when on. Nails last the same time. Shine is good and easy on.

Great at home mani
absolute game-changer for at-home manicures! The clear topcoat is a standout as well. It not only adds a brilliant shine that rivals a salon finish but also seals the color beautifully, ensuring long-lasting wear without chipping. Best of all, no UV light is needed! You get that professional gel-like finish with zero hassle, making it super convenient for busy schedules. Highly recommend!
