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 was a bit skeptical about how useful this could really be, I mean, a clear top coat is a clear top coat, nothing special. But this stuff proved me wrong! It's think and leaves a nice shiny finish that makes your nails look professionally done. This is an awesome product!
Absolutely amazing!

I am so impressed with the gel setter! It's not thick and gloopy and it dried quicker than I would have thought! I am a stay at home mom and work at the hospital as a nurse one day a week so I am constantly doing things with my hands and wash them all the time! After 5 days this has held up so nicely! I love that you can use it with any nail polish too! It is easily removed with nail polish remover too. Couldn't be more impressed with this product!
Did not work as well as gel

I have tried many gel like top coats and none work as well as a true gel manicure, this one included. This only lasted 24 hours before it chipped. The photo I am showing is after 38 hours of normal wear and tear, nothing strenuous. Does not compare to real gel manicures.
Gorgeous high shine

This gel-setter top coat really shines! It takes my nails to a new level and makes the color pop. I naturally have ridges in my nails and this top coat makes my nail beds perfectly smooth. The formula looks thick but it's really not. I paint two coats of my nail color, then one coat of this gel-setter top coat. It dries super fast and is strong. This is better than gel nails in my opinion, this won't damage your natural nail bed.
Great gel like manicure from home!!

This product is a total game changer. Ever since Covid hit I ditched my nail salon manicures for safety and have been doing them at home. Unfortunately, my normal manicures only lasted a few days before chipping and I was constantly needing to do my nails. However, this gel setter clear top coat changes the playing field and allows me to have salon quality manicures at home. I love that you can use this gel style top coat with your favorite regular nail polish and it gives it that shiny, sleek, gel look. It also dries pretty quickly which is important to me as I don't like having to wait so long for my nails to dry. This product gives me salon looking nails that last long (7-9 days before any chipping!!!) and it costs so much less. The photo I included below is how my nails looked 6 days after I used this product. It looks practically flawless with zero chipping, which I never was able to get with other at home products. For anyone trying to transition from salon manicures to at-home ones this product will become your saving grace, trust me. Or just try this product and see for yourself!
