I prefer Sally Hansen naturals or OPI to this. It was just ok. The colors were nice, but it didn't go on well for me. Mar 25, 2024

When I tell you this is the longest wearing nail polish I’ve ever tried, I am not kidding. I use it on my fingers and toes. It lasts a month on my toes and lasts ten days on my fingers. It’s the best! Oct 10, 2023

These dry sooo slowly. Sep 28, 2023

The colors offered by Essie are beautiful, but this nail polish can get expensive. The quality is great, but there are cheaper options out there with just as good of quality. Apr 08, 2023

I love Essie nail polishes. They can be a little on the pricier side but they are quick drying and last WAY longer than other nail polish brands I've used. Jan 09, 2022

I really wanted to love this Essie gel product. I actually have several colors because I keep wanting to love it but it just doesn't stay on as long as I'd hoped. Really is just normal polish. Aug 24, 2021

Once I started using the Essie Gel Couture polishes I never went back. It truely does not chip, and lasts/looks good for about 10 days at least depending on how hard you are on your hands. Recommend! Aug 16, 2021

Nice colors and isn’t harsh on my nails. Aug 09, 2021
- Dana S.

Before I found this nail polish, I never wanted to paint my nails because they would always chip and never last. When I use this polish, it stays on for about 2 weeks. I love this and highly recommend Jun 04, 2021
