essie Gel Couture Vegan Creme Gel Nail Polish, By Essie Gel-Like, 0.46 fl oz Bottle

I love this nail polish, it has a nice color and is long lasting, however it can be streaky if you apply thin coats. It's easy to be precise with the thin brush. It has helped my nails a ton to use a strengthener as a base coat. My nails last well over a week (and that's for someone who is constantly doing dishes and keeping the house clean). Highly recommend!!

Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish is living up to its hype! This is my first time to use it and after 4 days, it still looks good. I'm a little concerned about not using a base coat, but followed their instructions to use the polish on bare nails, followed by this clear top coat.

This may be one of my new favorite nude creme shades. Princess Charming is very similar to OPI's Somewhere Over the Rainbow Mountains, but it definitely lasts longer on my nails. As someone with cool toned fair skin, it's taken me forever to try all the colors that might suit my skin tone, but this one was definitely worth the wait.

Most of the time, I just want a nail polish that looks subtle, but elegant. Sheer Fantasy is exactly that - it's that little bit of "you, but better." I can wear a single coat with a matte topcoat to look like I'm not wearing polish at all, or I can layer it to build up the color. Versatility win!

I've been a fan of Essie for so long now. I adore the vast shade selection, especially the new summer colours. My go to has to be drip drip followed by this gorgeous top coat that shines beautifully. Great quality and lasts all week without chipping !

As a gardener, it's difficult finding a polish that can stand up to digging, planting, and weeding. This polish didn't even chip! It's a good product for those who are hard on a manicure. Also, the design of the brush stem keeps it neat and clean and the polish covers well with one coat.

This is the only bottle of nail polish I have ever repurchased. It's my most complimented color by a mile and the perfect warm weather red!! Application is so easy and the formula is so solid. Will always be a fan!!

This is the first polish I've ever gone through a full bottle of. I was looking for a longwear, neutral polish that would go with anything but still hold up to daily handwashing and cleaning chemicals at my childcare job. My nails have always been brittle, flaky and weak, but this polish has helped me keep them long for up to a few weeks at a time! It lasts for almost a week on my nails, is easy to remove and looks good with either one or two coats! As I near the bottom of the bottle it's gotten a little thick and harder to apply, but I suspect that's because I've used it so often that it's spent too much time exposed to air. I love love love this polish and plan to buy it again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this product to the test by applying the top coat to my left hand and putting only nail polish on my right hand. As you can see, there is a drastic difference. The top coat increases the longevity of nail polish immensely, and I also feel like it strengthened my nails. It applied very easily, the applicator made the process stress free. The brush helped me give my nails a more concise and gel-like finish. Not to mention, I think the packaging is precious and holds a fair amount of product. I intend on buying another bottle once I run out of the one I have currently that I received free for testing purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this polish complimentary from Influenster. First, I'd like to say I love the brush they used for this polish. They should make all of the Essie polishes have this brush. It makes polish application easier and more even. The gel polish itself is also a nice upgrade from the regular polish. I used the top coat overtop this polish and ipolish has lasted me over a week with minimal chips. The reason I gave the polish 4 stars is because I'm not a huge fan of the color. I did receive it for free, so I really can't complain. But, I'd describe the color as periwinkle - light blue with a hint of purple. This might be perfect for someone else, but I like more pink tones.
