Long lasting but darker than anticipated
I was expecting this to be a shade of ‘hot pink’ but it’s bordering on red unless you’re in bright light. Still, it’s a gorgeous colour, easy to apply and lasts me a week before I need to do them again- much better than the couple of days most polishes last for me.

Brilliant nail enamel
Fabulous nail enamel, stays on a long time, easy to use and excellent value. This brand will always be my first choice for nail enamels, oh and did I mention the colour choices! Phenomenal selection of colours.

I love It-Factor, not quite as convinced by Zip Me Up
I have two different colours of essie Gel Couture Nail Polish - The It-factor and Zip Me Up and I love one or quite like the other. I LOVE the It-factor - it goes on well, gives a bright pop of pink colour with a shiny finish and stays well on my nail. The other colour I have - Zip me up, is rather unusual. From afar it looks like an off-white/cream, but up close you can see that it has a green pearlised tint in the polish in the bottle, but it doesn't show particularly well on the nail. As a stand-alone colour, it doesn't work so well for me, it's okay and it stands out, but I have nicer off-white nail polishes.

Great formula- true to colour
Really love this gel formula. It’s essential to use the Essie gel top coat though. I no longer bother with my UV lamp as this formula really does look like gel.

Beautiful Colour!
For Essie I apply 2 or 3 coats of colour and 1 or 2 top coat, 5 mins between each coat (I’m not joking 😂). Quality product and I’m never disappointed. Cheers Essie!

Not great.
The colour of this product is really pretty, however it is very sheer so you need a good few layers. Even though I used a base and a top coat nail polish it chipped within 48 hours.

The MOLLE sheath is of exceptional quality. Very happy with my purchase.
essie Gel Couture introduces an easy 2-step system for a gel-like manicure. First, take any essie Gel Couture shade and apply two coats to the natural, bare nails with long, smooth strokes. No base coat or UV or LED lamp are needed. Let dry and then apply the specialized, quick-drying top coat to lock in the couture manicure. It is not recommended to use a base coat. Reapply the top coat every few days for longer wear.
