Essie Nail PolishNB - THIS REVIEW IS FOR 5 DIFFERENT SHADES:-*** 1st Review ***Essie Nail Polish in 'ZIP ME UP' No 160Here is my experience of 5 of these Essie Nail Lacquers!1st Impressions:• Gorgeous presentation, in a twisty shape glass bottle with a white screw top. It is nice and weighty and the unusual shape makes it easy to hold.• All the nail lacquers in this range have quirky names and they are Made in France.• As with most personal products these days, there's a peel back sticker on the screw cap, which provides a very long Ingredients List. However, being grey print on a white background and in really, really small print, you may find it difficult to read.Prior to testing on ALL the 5 colours,

This new gel collection from Essie has very quickly become the only type of nail polish that I want to use.I was reluctant to try these at first because I have noticed that a lot of brands have started to release so-called gel formulas that are said to last and look like gel. After having tried these with little success I was sceptical of all budget alternatives to gel.However, upon first use of one of these polishes, I quickly realised that these are not the same as other brands who claim that their formula is like gel.Like the original Essie nail polishes, which are my favourite over other brands like OPI,

My wife reviewI love this! I bought the gel couture duo in 'Rock the Runway,' and I've only had to paint my nails 2 times in the last 2 weeks~~ and a few of those were only touch-ups to cover the growing nails.This isn't as tough or impermeable as a salon gel or shellac manicure, but it doesn't dry out or wreck your nails like the salon ones can, either. It definitely lasts longer than any regular polish, and a little longer than the 10x Butter London polishes, which is what I've been using.As a normal human being, I find I frequently use my hands for many exciting things, such as: washing dishes, opening cans of cat food, and scraping labels off of boxes so I can return something to Amazon,

Make The Cut is a light grey, with a pearlescent finish. A perfect all-rounder; suits all ages, all skintones, all occasions, all seasons.Rock The Runway is a scarlet cream; red polish has been loved ever since Nefertiti and Cleopatra wore them to indicate power and their social hierarchy placing, and this hue is a wonderful shade for any skintone, any time of the yearSignature Smile is a bubblegum shade of pink, with a cream finish. Fabulous for this time of year; the white undertone makes the shade pop against skin, for an instant tanning effect. A lovely shade, but admittedly not unique.Sit Me In The Front Row is a suits-everyone raspberry shade, with a cream finish. Again; very pretty and extremely wearable,

I wasn't convinced that this nail varnish would be anything like gel varnish as I've tried a few different brands claiming to be as good as gel and it's not been true for me so far (even with expensive brands like Nails Inc).However this is completely different! I find it's best to even out and lightly buff my nails over before applying this. It makes a smooth surface and makes it go on perfectly first time. It's important to get the right amount on the brush because too thin a layer makes it streaky and bumpy, too much means it will get dented / damaged because it won't dry properly.I do 2 coats and this creates a perfectly opaque finish.The major pluses with this vs actual gel:+ lasts approx

Not for personal use but passed to a female within the family for the purpose of testing.Essie, as a brand, is not one known from prior use as are several nails only brands and others offering this type of product. The range of colours currently offered is quite extensive and includes several 'nudes' plus the expected pinks, brighter reds and some darker colours, for the most part fairly traditional and unremarkable and lacking the 'poppier' colours and glitters that some may include."essie Gel Couture Nail Polish, 40 Fairy Tailor 13.5 ml" is a subtle beige-nude and may appear as a natural nail colour for some of its users. The user had ceased using bright nail colours some years ago and now prefers the softer and paler shades.

I have been using home gel nails and lamp for about 3 years now- but sometimes I can't always find the spare hour needed to use this system and was keen to see how normal good brand nail polishes had upped their game in the last few years. I already had one Essie gel colour and this was a new one to my collection.So firstly it goes on extremely well, very evenly, and the brush has been well designed to cover the nail very easily, I do mine in just two strokes, and sometimes one. The dry time between each coat is very quick, and I normally paint the second layer within about 3 minutes. After 2 coats I then apply their recommended top coat (although)

This is the best foundation I have found. I've previously used the Loreal True Match in Rose Ivory (lightest) which is very good but a little too dark for me. This in 'porcelain' is one of the palest foundation shades I have ever seen- which is perfect for me. I noticed a difference even with just a light coat.Specifically I wanted a foundation with full coverage. With 1 coat this is definitely a nice medium. Having previously used so many light-medium coverage foundations I wanted a change.I have very dry skin and as such I still had to use quite a bit of moisturiser as a base. Allow it to soak in and then apply. It goes on smooth and has a fairly thick texture, almost slightly creamy but it isn't drying.

I looove essie nail polish. They are one of my favourite brands, so I was super excited to get my hands on these to try. I went a little overboard and got about 15 colours in total. As a whole, I love this collection. The colour are fresh and pretty and I love not having to apply a base coat with them. They come with the normally essie brush, which is slightly curved, which makes applying the nail polish a dream.I noticed that across the range the darker colours have a really lovely consistency. They apply smoothly and are normally opaque in just 2 coats which was amazing. And another big plus is that none of them stained my nails - even the blackish green/ dark reds. However,

I like Essie polishes, they are generally two coat wonders and the brush in this edition is fantastic, almost twisty but flat meaning it just slides on in an almost perfect one coat and the formulation makes it fully opaque in two. This polish is part of the gel system which extends wear to a week or so but can be worn without the sunlight curing top coat and lasts 2-3 days on average without chipping near the edges.Take me to thread is part of the couture collection based around neutrals with fashion designer themed names. It is a gorgeous mushroom-mauve which sounds awful but is really pretty - a sort of deep greige with a purple-bruisey tone to it.

That's the last time I used this polish,and that is a very long time for me, my nails were not really too bad,but I was going out to lunch and wanted to look well groomed.I put on 2 coats of polish followed by top coat,it didn't take long to dry between coats and it lasted through showers,hand washing,hair colouring,gardening, hand washing a duvet and manhandling onto the washing line and all the little things that normally make my polish start to chip within hours, even with a top coat.I had got fed up with doing my nails,as it was such a thankless job,but now I can't wait to do them as I know they will look good for days.I find the flat wide brush works much better than the normal round

We had two polishes from this range for review, so we`ve combined both for the purposes of this assessment; the products were Essie 140 ‘couture curator’ and Essie 410 ‘hang up the heels’.My tester says “I was instantly attracted to these eye catching nail polishes by their attractive and quirky bottles.The bottle is distinctively twisted which not only draws attention but also fits ergonomically well between the fingers. So far so good. - Funky colours labelled by number and fancy names which give no clue to their colour.Who could know that 'couture curator' was a baby pinkish colour? - Well, who cares for its title if you can hold it in your hand and see for yourself what colour it is?

I’ve had gel nail varnish put on at a salon so was excited to try this one at home and see how it compares. First impressions have been good, the colour is true to the picture online, it applied well and gave a slightly more sheer coverage which is fine for my short natural nails as it doesn’t draw too much attention to them but still gives them a nice look. I must admit I didn’t realise I’d need to buy the gel top coat to use this so I decided to give it a go on it’s own without using that to see how long it lasted on its own. On my nails without the required top coat you’re meant to apply it gave a very small little chip on the tip of one nail on the 1st full day,

A review from my wife...I absolutely love this product! This gel nail varnish is extremely easy to apply with the large brush in the bottle. I found that it dried extremely quickly; By the time I had painted all my nails, it was dry enough and ready for the second coat. I used the recommended top coat, which again could be applied a few seconds later. The top coat perhaps took the longest to dry but it was no more than three or four minutes. I was eager to see if this lived up to the promise of twelve days of uninterrupted, non-pealing colour. With the nails on my right hand (dominant hand), I found that the colour was starting to chip off after five days but it was easy enough to touch this up to last another couple of days.

I have had the Essie gel Nail Polish on my toenails for 3 weeks now and have not experienced any chipping with it at all, which I am very impressed with. I have 'Zip Me Up', which is a light mint colour (pictured, with 2 coats) and is a perfect summery shade for those who like light coloured polishes. I haven't used the gel top coat with this product yet, and so was amazed at how long it has lasted based on just the base product. Obviously on fingers is does chip more easily, as you are constantly using them, but the formula of this polish is nice and thick and I have worn it for 3 to 4 days on fingernails with no real damage- it definitely compares with other good quality polishes on the market.
