Essie Gel Couture No. 504 of Corset Long Lasting Nail Polish, Nude, 13.5ml

Lovely colour, dries quickly, best to paint really thin coats, is then long lasting and chip resistant with the top coat.

Lovely bright and shiny varnish

I recently bought the Essie Gel Couture Longlasting High Shine Nail Polish in the shade "Fairy Tailor" for my daughter and I must say, she is quite impressed with the results. This sheer nude pink color is absolutely stunning and adds a touch of elegance to my nails.One of the standout features of this nail polish is its long-lasting formula. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it stayed on my nails without chipping or fading for several days. It definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of longevity, and I appreciate not having to touch up my manicure frequently.The application of this nail polish is a breeze. The brush is wide and flat, which allows for easy and precise application. The formula itself is smooth and goes on evenly without streaks. I only needed two coats to achieve the desired opacity, which is impressive for a sheer shade like "Fairy Tailor."I also love the high shine finish this nail polish provides. It gives my nails a glossy, salon-like appearance without the need for a UV lamp. The shine lasts throughout the wear, making my nails look polished and well-maintained.Another aspect that I appreciate about the Essie Gel Couture line is the drying time. It dries relatively quickly, which is great for someone like me who is always on the go and doesn't have much time to spare for nail drying.The 13.5ml bottle size is generous, and a little goes a long way with this nail polish. I have been using it for a few weeks now, and there is still plenty of product left in the bottle.Overall, I highly recommend the Essie Gel Couture Longlasting High Shine Nail Polish in the shade "Fairy Tailor" to anyone who loves sheer, nude pink shades with a touch of sophistication. The long-lasting formula, easy application, high shine finish, and generous bottle size make it a great investment for beautiful nails.#EssieGelCouture #NailPolish #FairyTailor #SheerPink #LongLastingShine #SalonLikeFinish #EasyApplication #QuickDrying #ProductReview

This gel polish is brilliant, goes on really well, no lamp needed and really does last for days ,I love it

This top coat adds days to the longevity of my nail polish.

I hadn't done my nails since pre-pandemic, just couldn't be asked to get the gel kit & UV lamp out. Then I discovered this topcoat & nail polish combo and I love it. I've never been able to go more than a day or two without needing to change out my polish due to chips (unless I had a gel kit with a lamp).I purchased this top coat & paint the town red and on my first go, lasted 4 days before lightly chipping on my index fingers (admitted was using them as tools), so possibly if I'm good and careful will go longer.I've just purchased another colour. No instructions were included which was a pain, but I did a quick google search and this is what I found:1 - Clean the nail with nail polish remover (no base coat necessary)2 - Apply one or two coats of colour (I apply two and on my second attempt I painted the tips first then applied two coats of colour - hopefully will take longer to chip)3 - Apply top coatI've also been told that applying topcoat every day helps with longevity, but I've not tried & I don't like the thick feeling of multiple topcoats.I've read some bad reviews, but many seem to be applying the product incorrectly or using it with different brands or other Essie polishes. I've always found that when using nail polishes, especially gel type ones it's best to follow instructions to the letter (hence lack of is a bit annoying) and use the topcoats and polish from the same 'set' for best results.

Absolute waste of almost £8. This is the worst nail varnish I've ever used/purchased. No matter how thin you apply the product or how ever long you leave it between coats, it does not cure fully and smudges/chips within minutes of wearing it. The colour is not pigmented enough to wear only one to two coats. I've tried curing with a lamp too but nothing will dry it fully. Complete waste 😕

Couture CuratorNice colour but doesn’t cover very well, very streaky. The coverage is very poor
