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 am not sure if I got a bad bottle but mine is thick like honey and stringy. It doesn't even go on smooth. I would try again maybe but it's a lot to spend if it don't work

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

So disappointed

I am so disappointed I spent any money on this. I figured I would give it a try because I like the polish as a whole and I wanted to give my nails a break after having the professional done. After less than 24 they are chipped and peeling like crazy. I figured with the "gel like finish" it would be sturdy then everyday activities. I'd also like to add I have already repaint my thumbs before this picture was taken. So don't waste your time or money on this top coat.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

The best top coat

This stuff is great if you want your nails to have that gel like appearance without the actual gel service. It's so smooth, shiny and really gives the nail strength. I will say it doesn't work well with all brands of polish. I've found that some get a strange look or rejection at the edges that causes early chipping. It works amazing with all my Essie polishes, most OPI, and most Zoya (not all).

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This is my recommended top coat for smoothing, fortifying, and elongating the time I have my manicure. Be quick because it can dry out quickly.

I like to paint my nails and toes but struggle with the paint chipping after a couple days. Well let me tell you, it works. My nails on average last almost two weeks after applying the nail setter. I use any nail polish too!!
