essie Gel Couture Longlasting High Shine No UV Lamp Required Nail Polish Bright Hot Red Colour, Shade 270 Rock The Runway 13.5ml

I fully acknowledge that I am miss picky when it comes to my nails. I love a gel ombré but I am increasingly worried about the chemicals in the stuff that is used in nail bars. I then started to do gel nail polish myself at home but found it a complete flaff. I have tried gelish, opi and shellac all with ok results but it’s the soaking off that I found a nightmare and it just doesn’t look as good as going to a nail bar. In desperation I bought this color and the Essie gel couture top coat. I can honestly say that I am in love...this stuff is amazing. I do general nail prep then apply two coats of color, it dries really quick so by the time I have finished my second hand I can put the second coat on. I then use put in two top coats. After about 5 mins I run my hands under the cold tap for a minute, not sure why but it seems to help. The polish lasts 5 days on me before tip wear. It doesn’t chip which is a complete first for me. After 5 days I take it off and reapply. It does stain my nails but I’m not bothered about that at all. The colors in the range are great, I have tried a number of the pink/red colors and love them all. Buy this it will change your manicure forever!!!

I only ever buy normal nail polish (as in the stuff you can take off with nail polish remover) but even the ones that claim " long lasting " don't last at all, that was until i discovered this brand. It goes on lovely and looks like a gel polish but it isn't one that you cure with a light or that you need to soak off in acetone . It's brilliantly hard-wearing and the colours in the range are all lovely. I'm a complete convert and won't buy any other brand at all now !

The best nail polish I have ever used in 40 years. It stays on. No chipping or fading. Dries quickly too. Its worth the price

Firstly, I love the colour. I think this is the scarlet red one. I applied one layer followed by the gel couture. It's so pretty but not exactly chip resistant, I suggest applying two coats anyway of the original then the gel.

great product. will get more shades

I painted my nails 3 hours ago, jumped in the bath for 15 mins. All nails started peeling off after 5 mins. It reminds me of that child’s polish that peels straight off! I have used many nail products in the past, but thought I’d try this particular essie one. Please don’t buy it! The colour is nice, the polish is a 0/10!

Long lasting and good colour

Love Essie

1 week wear

Easy to use and a beautiful red color You need to use this with their top coat

È bellissimo! Lo posso solo descrivere come un vero rosso, né caldo, né freddo. È già molto pigmentato con una passata (ma in foto ne ho fatte 2 + top coat + base coat all'inizio). Pennellino tagliato molto bene, permette un'applicazione precisa. È il mio primo colore della collezione Gel Couture di Essie e credo ne comprerò altri. Non posso commentare sulla durata perché tutti gli smalti mi durano parecchi giorni.

Amazing!! Pair with the top coat and it lasts for so long without chipping. I have 2 small children and constantly washing hands etc and this stuff stays on so well. And super easy to remove with just normal nail polish remover. Highly recommended. This colour is also stunning.

Fantástico esmalte. Color brillante y máxima durabilidad
