Streaks, does not dry evenly.

I was looking for an Essie gel color in a white shade and thought this was going to be effortless like the other Essie’s I own. This one if terrible and I ended up taking it back. It does not set well and streaks very bad, even with the recommended nail prep. I even did four coats and it was just awful. Very disappointed I do not have a “go to” white for this brand. Have it a one-star because I couldn’t give it a 0.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there MtotheJ, we would be disappointed too and want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This bright white with clean and crisp undertones should look perfect by the second coat. Your bottle definitely was not working as it should. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish claims it is like gel, which I think it could be if it dried properly.
This nail polish does not set right. I waited many time intervals hoping it would dry with different nails and it simply did not, it turned to goo and I could make impressions with my finger. I waited approximately 30 minutes hoping it would dry on one nail and it wouldn’t and that’s with the first coat.
Second coat? Forget it, it was even worse.
I then added the top coat really hoping that it would somehow save it but it unfortunately made it look even worse and i ultimately had to remove it all.
The photo I have provided was shortly after the second coat where I thought it may dry down and look okay but it still looked streaky after the first coat. The formula itself is not consistent and is very watery/thin but yet doesn’t paint/spread very well. It’s just overall very strange.
I am honestly just really disappointed with it.
I gave it two stars out of generosity because I know if it had the capability to dry down it would be pretty.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there Delicate933! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. Your description of this Gel Couture color do not sound right! The color should be perfect by the second coat and each coat should dry in about 5 minutes or less.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is known for their great polish and this doesn't disappoint! The product was easy to apply and remove around the nail for any painting mistakes I made during the process. The handle was easy to hold. I did my normal two coats with a base and a top and it has lasted over a month already! I was very pleased. The color is bright and shiny!
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Essie Gel couture polish in first fitting for over a week now without any chips in the polish. I am loving it! The formula is super smooth and only took two coats to be opaque. The color is a beautiful white shimmer. The finished look is super shiny and definitely chip resistant. Great polish!
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried all three colors Electric Geometric, First View and First Fitting. Coming from the brand that is so popular, I was disappointed by the color pay off. Mainly EG and FV. These two colors were just drab. Even with a high quality base and top coat the colors were simply boring. They both need a tint or shade of another color added, to give the pop or wow factor that both these colors need. On the other hand First Fitting is a pure white that looks sharp bright and nice. Two coats and you’re good to go. I feel that the formula itself could be improved, but I can’t put my finger on what.
yes, I recommend this product.

Hello KT22! Thanks for trying out these 3 Gel Couture nail colors. We're pleased to hear how well the color 'first fitting', we just wish you could see the all results you were hoping for with the other 2 colors. We get that not every shade will look outstanding with everyone's natural coloring, but we appreciate hearing back from consumers who have given the color a try. On our webpage for each color we try to show the results on the nails of models with 3 distinctly different skintones to help you decide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The prettiest shade of pearl white! It looks stunning on my nails when used as a full nail color or as a French manicure tip color! The gel formula makes it last even longer than regular polish which is great for a busy mom like me!
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this nail polish! I love a good white nail polish, and this one is super milky and looks great when applied. I love that it’s a gel polish as well, it lasts an awful long time, but it is also easy to remove when time to switch to a new color.
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie nail products never disappoint. This line is no exception. The colors are nice and vibrant and paint on evenly and smooth. One coat offers nice coverage but after a second the color is so bold. I’ve noticed that with this line my nail color lasts for close to two weeks without chipping! I will definitely be adding more products from this line to my nail collection.
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this out for the first time and it left my nails looking like I went to the salon for a manicure. After just two coats there were no streaks and it dried really quickly. I would recommend this as an affordable option to getting your nails done professional. The color was also a soft white which I loved.
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie first fitting is a solid white color I like how they look on my toe nails what I like about this product is that I've been having this color on my toe nails since the day I got it its like a week already and they have chipped it hasn't started coming off what I also like about this nail polish is that is a gel nail polish it drys fast it doesn't take that long to dry so u don't need a uv light to dry them because they will dry on its own.
yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with a Essie Gel couture long-lasting vegan gel nail polish. The color is so pretty on my nails and toes. It so simple to apply on my nails and toes as well. This Gel polish goes on so smoothly and dries very quickly. The brush shape is key for polishing close to cuticle. Overall it’s a fast drying formula for a quick and clean polish application. I highly recommend this.
yes, I recommend this product.

Best nail polish ever
taytay
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am typically not the one to paint my own nails because they always come out streaky and uneven. I am shocked at how well this polish works. It took me two coats for it to look completely solid and covered. On top of that, it looks just as perfect as a gel manicure would be if you went to the nail salon. This polish also dries slightly faster than a traditional polish. One recommendation I have is to clean up the excess polish on your skin as quick as you can as it is a little more difficult to remove with nail polish remover when it dries. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this product. The color I am wearing is called first fitting, and it is the perfect white color.
yes, I recommend this product.
