[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the color, it leaves a shiny golden finish, after three layers I achieved this finish I liked that they dry very quickly and last a long time.

Super easy to apply and gives that glossy, fresh-from-the-salon look. Love how it lasts without chipping too fast. Totally my new go-to happy color

Chic, Shimmery, and Long-Lasting! Essie’s Metallic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Chic, Shimmery, and Long-Lasting!
Essie’s Metallic Gaze is an absolute showstopper! The shade has a gorgeous, sophisticated shimmer that shifts beautifully in the light—perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. The formula goes on smoothly without streaks, and two coats give full, even coverage.
I was impressed by how quickly it dried and how chip-resistant it is—my manicure still looked fresh after a full week of wear. The metallic finish feels luxe and pairs well with just about any outfit. If you want nails that turn heads without looking over the top, Metallic Gaze is a must-try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical of this at first because i was afraid it was gonna be too yellow but it turned out to be sooooo pretty! I applied it as the 2nd coat. The bright yellow gold shimmer catches the light beautifully. It makes my nail looks sparkling. I like that it's designed for natural nails and doesn't require uv light.

Beautiful gold shimmery top coat
Lucia L
11 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually, I would never reach for a bright yellow gold top coat, but I’m so glad I got to try this shade out! I paired it with “Gossamer Garments” as a base, and I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully it complimented this pale, neutral pink with a shimmery, almost chrome-like finish. I would warn against using too many coats since the polish is pigmented and can look yellow, but one coat is perfect for a subtle, shimmery finish. This top coat has also lasted nicely, especially considering that I work with my hands often and am prone to chipping my nail polish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is now my go to product when I wear my natural nails. The main reason for that is I was able to go 10 days without getting chips (See last picture) It feels just like gel nails but without having to use a light to cure it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not a bad idea to have these products at home to solve our women's emergency. It is quite long-lasting since it is a gel that works with the lamp. The texture is normal like any nail polish and you must keep it well covered so that it doesn't dry quickly. Drying with the lamp is super fast, it is ready in a matter of seconds, it has a beautiful shine and finish, not at all opaque.

Not flattering!
alexandraac_8503

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this top coat but unfortunately I was very disappointed. It’s a very yellow gold shade which did not look flattering at all on my nails. It was not metallic and I needed 3+ coats to even get it to show up with the base I had underneath it. I really don’t recommend the gold shade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie “Crushed Gold” is a fun, bright yellow top coat that adds a sparkly, reflective shine to natural nails. It goes on easily and gives a glowing, metallic finish (need at least 2 layers). Just make sure not to use it on acrylics or fake nails. Great for a bold, sunny look!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie's "Gossamer Garment" is a fantastic choice for an at-home manicure! This beautiful pink shade applies smoothly and dries quickly, which is always a plus. When topped with a "crushed gold" polish, it creates a modern and classy look that really stands out. The bottle's design is also a highlight, as it's comfortable and easy to hold while you're polishing your nails. Overall, this Essie polish is a definite must-have for anyone who enjoys doing their own nails.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very very cute and subtle way to add sparkle to your manicure. The gold doesn’t overpower whatever color you’re wearing below it, and it also doesn’t wash away or “mix” badly with it either. It compliments the color underneath rather than make it look like a mess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried out essie nail polish in shade 49, a super opaque pink that went on so smooth and vibrant—literally the perfect bubblegum pop! 💖 But the real star of the show was the Metallic Glaze Top Coat in #4, a crushed gold shimmer that totally transformed the look. ✨ It added this magical, sun-kissed finish that looks amazing in every light. I’m obsessed with how the gold plays over the pink—so fun and summery! Definitely a dreamy combo I’ll be wearing again 💅🌸💫

Perfect shiny top coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a nail technician, and let me share a little secret to help your manicure last up to two weeks! Use spackle as a top coat. It creates a strong protective layer over your polish. The crushed gold shade from Essie is super shiny and absolutely gorgeous. To make it last even longer, simply reapply the top coat after about a week. With this trick, your regular polish can last almost like a gel manicure. I love the color and how long it stays vibrant. Highly recommend it if you want beautiful, long lasting nails!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my wife's first time trying the Essie Gel Couture nail polishes. She's hooked! Her manicure lasted an entire week without a single chip and probably could've gone longer. The gold color is not her favorite as she likes more pinks stuff like that.

It’s super effective, gives a lasting shine and no chipping!

Glittery and shinny
minz1_5549

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The crushed gold shade looks very yellow in photo but it’s actually a good shade of yellow when applied. It is glittery and shinny and adds a beautiful layer of gloss on top of whatever base layer it is. This is why it’s recommended as step 2. The size of the product is standard, the shape of the bottle is interesting. I like that the brush size is big - two to three strokes is all it needs to cover my entire nailbed. The scents though is bad, but not any worse than an average nail polish. Price point is alright. I’m pleasantly surprised and content with this shade.

essie Crushed Gold - my favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one is such a fun top coat. It adds this sparkly gold layer that makes any nail color pop. I like using it over white or nude polish because it gives this kind of magical shimmer. The formula dries fast and doesn’t feel sticky. Very effective. It’s perfect when I want my nails to stand out a little more without being too bold. Plus, the bottle is super cute on my shelf. The price was good too so what else could I possibly ask for?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute top coat. I know yellow can be a little odd for a top coat but it works really well with pale pink. It’s a very fine shimmer and doesn’t look too yellow. It also dries very quickly. Application was very easy.
