I love how it dries instantly and it’s opaque
mariactay_7369

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how it dries instantly and the pigment is strong, it’s opaque. Packaging is a standout among my nail polish bottles, i find the design unique. This color is perfect for summer but I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 because I’m expecting the shade to be more blue green but I find it to have more green than a balance of blue and green. Other than that, the durability is good especially if used with the top coat, it will make it more long lasting.

Anyone looking for long-lasting and high-quality polish BUY THIS. I have been doing my own nails for years, so I have used almost every brand of polish you can buy. From experience, this line from Essie is the best I have ever used and I recommend it to everyone. If I could afford to buy every colour from this line I would do it. Lol.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Influenster and Essie, I was able to try the Dopamine Rush with Top Coat fingernail polish. First off, the little bottle is really cute. Secondly, the color is just beautiful. Both coats dry really quick, and the top coat leaves a gorgeous shine.

Not a good shade for me
ohhmareeeahn_1020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This applied very well and dries down quickly. It doesn’t have as potent of a smell as other Greek polishes so I enjoyed that. I think the packaging is neat too. I just did not like this color for me. At first I was excited about trying a bold color but it just didn’t suit my skin tone. Will be passing on.

Do Not Buy

This is one of the worst formulations of a nail polish I have tried. It is somehow both too runny and too tacky. It was impossible to apply. And good luck taking it off once you realize how horrible it is--the pigment WILL get stuck in your cuticles for days and defy any nail polish remover. I've tried other essie gel couture colors and didn't have this issue. TERRIBLE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie has a wide range of great nail polish colors. They are so easy to apply and dries really fast. This vibrant pink color is also great. It also doesn’t have a strong scent as most nail polishes do.

Dries quickly
the1337beauty_7254

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Gel Couture nail polish in the shade “Dopamine Rush” is a beautiful teal-green color. It’s a bit bright for my everyday tastes but I really liked the formula so I ended up purchasing the same polish in 2 other colors. The polish was easy to apply but best part is how quickly it dries! I don’t have time to sit and wait 30min+ for my nails to dry. So many formulas claim to be “quick drying” but will still mess up over an hour later. I had no problems with this polish drying. It claims to last 14 days, with the top coat I was able to get ~7 days of wear, but I’m really hard on my nails so a week of chip-free wear is impressive. Overall I’d recommend Essie’s Gel Couture system, especially since I’ve already purchased more colors.
I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

So Shiny and Long Lasting
ajroxmywhitesox_3280
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm not the best at doing my own nails, and when I do them at home, they never really last long. I even have a UV light for gel nail polish, but that polish usually lasts me a day if I'm lucky. So I was skeptical when I received the Essie Gel Couture polish and top coat. This top coat is amazing! It dried in no time flat, and my nails lasted almost two weeks. I think if I were to have used dishwashing gloves, they would have lasted longer. Paired with the amazing color Fuel Your Life, my pink nails looked so cute! It goes on easily, and it lasts. My nails were shiny the entire time I wore the polish which never happens with other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is soooo pretty! It’s super easy to reply and is now my new favorite polish color! The packaging so so sleek and different from any other bottle I’ve ever seen. It truly does dry quickly which is a huge help doing nails at home because I usually ruin my nails within 10 minutes due to them taking forever to dry. I will only be using this brand of nail polish from here on out. Easy to remove & has a normal nail polish smell.

Stunning color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is absolutely stunning! It's highly pigmented and just screams spring and summer. The brush provides the perfect application, allowing for a smooth application. The staying power is impressive. I painted my toenails before going into the office. I had two back to back 16 hour days wearing heels and walking a ton. I was shocked when I got home, as there wasn't even a chip in the polish. I will 100% be getting more colors. I'm hooked!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in return for a fair and honest review. I am really bad at doing my nails. I usually avoid doing my nails because of this. But I love pretty nails.
I was skeptical when I tried this. I work a lot with children and I work with my hands and a lot of times the nail polishes I use chip or don't go on smooth. This nail polish is amazing. Goes on very smooth and easy. Doesn't chip easy. The top coat makes it last forever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color was not what I expected. I thought it would be a brighter color. Although, I didn’t like it. It was very fast drying and did not chip. It had a slight odor, but it did go away after a little while. After I applied the topcoat, it was extremely shiny and it lasted all week. All in all, I was very pleased with it. It saved me a trip to the salon. I would definitely use again and purchase a different color.

Gorgeous Green Polish but…
charleneteaster_8815

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to receive this Essie Dopamine Rush Gel Polish from Influenster along with the top coat. I used it like I would a typical polish and while I have to get better at doing my nails, the color went on easily and I loved the color pay off. I applied a little more than two coats to get the depth of color I wanted before applying the top coat. Now, the polish didn’t come with instructions so the next part may be due to user error - I did have a little chipping within two days of use but didn’t try to remove the polish for several days because I really loved the color! When removing with nail polish, all of my nails were stained right cross the middle. I literally had to lightly buff my nails to remove it. I will use it again with the cuticle prep and following the instructions on the website this week to see if it eliminates chipping and stains but I really love this green!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie Gel Dopamine Rush Polish Duo is an absolute game-changer for at-home manicures! The vibrant pink color in this set is stunning—it’s the perfect mix of bold and playful, making it ideal for any occasion. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, providing full, even coverage with just two coats.
The included clear topcoat is a standout as well. It not only adds a brilliant shine that rivals a salon finish but also seals the color beautifully, ensuring long-lasting wear without chipping. Best of all, no UV light is needed! You get that professional gel-like finish with zero hassle, making it super convenient for busy schedules.
I also love how quickly the polish dries and how effortless it is to achieve a flawless look. Essie has truly outdone themselves with this duo—it’s perfect for anyone looking to elevate their nail game. Highly recommend!

This is one that I will continue to buy, so I hope Essie keeps it around!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shade, it’s a cool dark pink with mauve undertones. The brush is great, two coats give a nice even solid wash of color. It’s easy to remove with any nail polish remover but it’s also long lasting especially when paired with the Gel Couture Top Coat. It does have a strong nail polish scent but otherwise I love it!
