    Best!

    Sheer Fantasy, the best color if you're looking for ”natural” nails with a bit of color and shine! Sometimes it’s so clean and fresh with short, light nails 💅🏻 😍

    Test person smartson

    I think the color wasn't the best since it all came off pretty quickly and you had to have several layers for the color to cover, which felt like it became a bit too thick. Probably that's why the color came off unusually quickly on me. Otherwise, it was very easy to apply, and you didn't have to worry about getting too much color on the edges of the nails. The gel polish is quick-drying, so I will use the top coat frequently. But it was really fun to have the chance to be a test person via smartson.

    Stylish and Durable

    Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish + Top Coat is an amazing combination that gives a glossy gel-look and keeps nails looking nice surprisingly long. :) Easy to apply, quick drying time, and it looks so professional.

    Dries quickly and shiny

    I tested the top coat along with Essie's other nail polishes. The nail polish is just as described, super pretty and glassy. Very good pigmentation and I can really recommend it! The top coat dried so quickly, and it shines really nicely. The nail polish also has a gel-like feel, so it feels hard and durable. I can absolutely recommend it!

    Dreamy Color

    Super pretty pink color with lovely shimmer in it. Becomes glossy and nice, easy to get even if you're not a professional nail painter. Suitable for everyday and party! Takes a little while to dry, but like all Essie polishes, the durability is very good! Essie's GelCouture Top Coat is the cherry on top 👌 Eager to try more colors.

    Disappointed

    I am disappointed with this nail polish. The picture does not show the same color, the color is darker in reality.

    Smooth combo!

    This is a nail polish that I really enjoyed using for a frosty look! The formula is easy to apply and provides good coverage, even though it is thin. It's convenient that it gives the feeling of gel polish without a UV lamp. I've found that it dries quickly! The top coat's formula is thin and easy to apply! It goes on evenly without pulling at the color underneath, but you can also use it alone for a more natural look. It dries quite quickly, and I feel that the durability of the nail polishes is extended by using this! It also gives the nail polishes extra shine!

    Nice but expensive

    A reliable and stylish nail polish with salon feel at home. Lowers the rating a bit since the price is a bit higher, but the quality absolutely meets expectations. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Frost Yourself & Gel Couture Top Coat

    The design is sleek and the bottle fits well in the hand, making application easy and controlled. The color is a soft, light pink shade with pearlescent shimmer that gives an elegant and luxurious impression. I like that it works for both everyday and festive occasions. However, one layer becomes quite transparent, so at least two layers are needed for an even and nice result. The quality feels high with a creamy consistency that spreads evenly without running. Together with the Gel Couture Top Coat, the nails get a mirror-like, smooth, and gel-like finish that looks professional and feels protective. The result meets expectations well for home use. Both will definitely be used more!🤍💅🏼 The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester was allowed to try the product for free.

    Full and Covering

    Easy to apply and lasts long. As a stable girl, my nail polish usually wears off in no time, but this one seems to hold what it promises. I used essie's top coat on top. I tried to upload a picture but failed. But it turned out really nice and shiny. Good drying time and easy application.
