essiegel couture gel-like nail polish- first fitting

I love this gel effect polish from Essie. When used with the top coat it has the shine of a gel manicure without the hassle and damage of removal.Fairy Tailor is a lovely barely there colour that can be worn as one coat for sheer or two coats for opaque finish.I have removed my gel nails and won’t go back to them as the removal process is too much for my naturally weak nails.I use a ridge filler base caps, x2 coats of colour polish, one coat of top coat and then a further top coat by Sally Hansen. Follow this with cuticle oil and the manicure will last me a week.I got this when it was on offer at under £7. Excellent value for a product that is easy to use, lasts well, doesn’t chip and dries relatively quickly.

Amazing! I've had this on for 13 days and it still hasn't chipped, I'm only removing to repaint my nails as I have a growth line at the bottom.Perfect light nude pink that lets natural nails shine through underneath. Just makes your nails look tidy and put together. Takes a while to dry but so worth it for the staying power. I just used a Rimmel top coat as a base coat and a top coat with two coats of this inbetween.

I love the colour and it does last up to 10 to 12 days . Definitely better than most of the brand I used .

Absolutely beautiful colour and the quality is amazing. It goes on like silk and the brush is a perfect shape.

I’ve applied this nail polish twice now. The first time it lasted 10 days before it showed signs of wear and tear, I thought it was a bit of a fluke! And I’d washed the car (without gloves) and gardened in it, so it was given a real workout.This time it’s 8 days without any sign of damage! I’m pretty gobsmacked to be honest because I can’t keep any make of polish on for longer than 3 days before it starts chipping or peeling. I’ve tried everything. But this has been so great I forget I’ve got it on! Just 3 coats of this and then the step 2 top coat, that’s it!

I love the colour & ease of application but after just three days it chipped off. Hoped for more.

This is the longest lasting nail polish I have ever bought. I was most impressed! I have been wearing it for over a week now and it is still in perfect condition. It has not chipped at all and this is in spite of my doing gardening without wearing gardening gloves. I have also been doing housework, with my hands in and out of soapy water, again without wearing rubber gloves. I bought it in a very pale pink which actually looks transparent when on my nails. This is good for every day use but I intend to buy it in a darker colour as well. A great buy which I thoroughly recommend.

Perfect color just as was described thank you :)
