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...

Shiny and long lasting! wow!!
Tried this bc I needed to give my nails a break from gel manucures (getting so brittle and was tired of paying for it). I used this topcoat over a kind of crappy nail polish brand and WOW it lasted with almost no chips for 10 days. I was amazed. Can't wait to try this with my essie polishes!
Great!
I received the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat (white bottle) for free to review, and I'm really impressed! It gives a beautiful, high-shine finish that looks like a salon gel manicure without needing a UV lamp. The formula is easy to apply, dries quickly, and helps prevent chipping, making my manicures last much longer. Definitely a great addition to any nail routine!
Great at home mani!
I love this essie gel polish. The glossy finish gave my nails a professional, freshly-done look! The polish lasted me a solid 5 days, which is good for me because I'm really hard on my nails. Be sure the nail polish is completely dry before applying and apply a thin layer. Then apply a second coat for maximum protection. Easy to remove with standard nail polish remover. While it doesn't perfectly replicate a UV gel manicure, it offers great shine and extended wear.

Love this product
The Essie Gel Couture Top Coat is a fantastic product that delivers on all fronts. Its drying time is impressive—my nails were completely dry to the touch in just a few minutes, making it perfect for quick manicures. The shine level is stunning, providing a long-lasting, salon-like finish that remained glossy for days. In terms of chip resistance, it exceeded my expectations, keeping my manicure intact for over a week without any noticeable chipping. The application technique is effortless, thanks to the well-designed brush that ensures an even, bubble-free finish. Lastly, its compatibility with different nail polishes is excellent, enhancing the durability and appearance of various colors. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-quality top coat!
Reliable Gel Top Coat!
I received this Essie Gel Couture top coat for free in exchange for my honest review, and I must say, is the best! It goes on nice and smooth, with a quick drying time. Two coats and my nails felt harder and protected! The bottle is nice to hold, which is a bonus!
