I'm never using gel with a light again!
After over a year of gel manicures, my nails suffered from peeling and breaking. I gave them a month with just repair polish and they finally healed, but I wanted the look and durability of the gel polish. When I heard about Essie gel.setter, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Essie never disappoi...

Greet shine, not so great wear
I ran out as soon as I saw this advertised at Target. I was so excited my favorite nail polish brand had a gel top coat! I was pretty disappointed after I used it though. By the next day I already had a chip. I've used this twice now and have had the same results, chips by the second day. I will say...

I have always been a fan of Essie nail polish, but the last year or so I've really gotten into various gel nail polishes. Unfortunately, they totally mess up my nails if I paint them a few times in a row with no break. So I decided to try this Essie gel-setter top coat. It went on easily, dried quickly, and looked great straight away. I waited to see if it would last and I am on day 5 right now and it's only just started to chip a bit at the edges. It also doesn't peel like the gel polish so even if it chips a bit it still looks ok and I'm not tempted to start peeling (part of why gel polish messes up my nails so bad). Overall very happy with this top coat and want to try it with more colors.
Lasts long time!

I use to get shellac gel applied at the nail salon but if they don't do it right, they would peel right off so I now bring my own. This is the only brand that will last weeks! It dries quickly as well. Best and I will never change.
Works great!

I love this brand and type polish, Essie's gel top coat really works to keep my polish from chipping and peeling. I wash my hands a lot throughout the day and that can cause a lot of chipping, so I was glad to find a top coat that really works!

I love the light pink color for my short nails. I struggle to keep polish on so I tried this. It seems to be easy to apply and stay longer than regular nail polish. I'm still wearing it so I'm not sure how long it will ultimately stay on but so far so good!
Amazing Product

This has to be one of my favorite topcoats compared to others I have used. This product dries quickly, is shiny and brushes on easily. This product pull back your nail polish from the edges like other products do. The gel is not sticky either when it's dry. This product is on the thicker side. Highly recommend!!!
