Easy application

7 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie because the polish is very easy to apply. This color looks really good but you definitely need at least three coats but it’s worth it. My mani is going on three weeks! I purchased the Gel Couture polish as part of a contest!

yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful color, terrible formula.

7 years ago
With how much thicker Essie polish is compared to OPI, it’s a little hard to apply a good mani. I still love Essie though because of the beautiful colors and how long it stays on your nails. I bought the couture curator and found it was easy to apply which I was happy about but it chipped right away. I really love the color so I took it off and tried repainted again. I decided to buff my nails first, then I washed my hands to make sure nothing would cause chipping from the polish and repainted. Again, the next day when I woke up there were chips! This polish also peels after it drys. That’s what cheap nail polish does - and why I avoid it. So I don’t know if I’m just not doing it right or what but it doesn’t stay on your nails at all. I’m going to look more into it becaus I like the gel look and the color isn’t amazing. If I could just buy this color in the regular Essie formula/bottle I would. I did not use a base coat or top coat, just the couture curator which is how I do all of my manicures.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Loved this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will never buy another nail polish brand again! This is the easiest thing to apply and it lasts forever. I highly recommend to anyone as long as you also get the top coat! Totally worth it! I got this product complimentary from Influenster

yes, I recommend this product.

Goes on smoothly!

8 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The polish goes on nice and smooth. I suggest using two coats as recommended on the site, because one doesn't seem to provide full coverage. So far, I've had the polish on my toes for two weeks, and it still looks good! I just put it on my fingers tonight, so I'll have to wait and see hope it holds up at work. I received this product free for testing.

yes, I recommend this product.

Yes girl!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This polish is amazing! Not to mention the color is perfect for spring and summer. The formula itself feels great with just two thin layers you're able to get all the color payout you need. It dries quickly so you don't have to worry too much about ruining your nails right after you paint them. The color stays without chipping for about 6 days for a very clumpsy person with 3 dogs aka -> me. That is asking a lot for a polish to me with other polishes on the third day I'm already upset it's chipping. I've used it for about a month and compared it to others I own of different brands and you can definitely tell this is quality. Disclaimer: I received this product for free for a review. However, my feelings about the product are real and I will be buying other shades so I recommend you to try it!

yes, I recommend this product.

So shiny and lasts for over a week!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this polish. I got it with my Influenster box, and couldn’t have been more excited. I normally use the regular Essie nail polish, and this was my first experience with the gel couture line and I’m super impressed. Normal polish lasts about a week for me, but this went a full 2 without chipping while using the topcoat! So impressed, will be purchasing more from this line.

yes, I recommend this product.

Meh. Subpar.

8 years ago
This product is subpar. The only positive I would give it is that the colors are very nice. Aside from that, this polish is thin and runny and not like gel polish. It takes forever to dry and even after you’ve waited an hour+ it still smudges. The lasting power is also subpar and it chips within a day or two. This is not any better than regular nail polish. Save your money and buy something else. I do not recommend. I received this product free/complimentary from Influenster for reviewing purposes.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi MXMahal! Thank you for trying our Couture Curator. We are sorry to hear that you think this gel polish is thin, runny, smudges, and didn't last as long as you had hoped. We recommend applying the Gel Couture Top Coat over top of this in order to keep that polish lasting longer. You can check this out by clicking the link below.

Classic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for free in exchange for a review but these are my own words. I love the color in the bottle but it lays on the nail a bit too sheer for my taste. Good texture not too runny and not paste-like.

Not impressed

8 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I reviewed this as a free sample for my unbiased opinion. I used this on my mom and I put 3 to 4 coats on and the color was still so faint you could see her nail through it. It was easy enough to apply but even though it's supposed to be gel it still lasted as long as normal polished would. It's really no different from a normal nail polish unfortunately.

no, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this polish and the top coat as a sample. I am very pleased with how well this works. Coming from someone who always gets their nails done because I am horrible at doing my own. This polish duo really does work. The color is neutral and beautiful. The brush is wide and bristles all work well together. Amazing!
