    AMAZING long lasting!!!

    Okay - This is THE BEST topcoat I have EVER used. Period.
    It goes on thick but not in a cakey or drying too fast manner, and spreads out in an even, thick and strong finish. I find it lasts sometimes longer than the salon UV lamp topcoats, depending on what I am doing.

    My favourite nail polish brand

    "The Gel" nail polishes by essence are your drugstore's best-kept secret for nail lovers. These polishes are thick, creamy and pigmented, and provide self-levelling one-coat coverage that lasts for days when applied with a base coat and top coat. Can also be used as a stamping polish. My only complaint is the limited range of colours because I'd love to have even more essence polishes in my collection.

    One of every shade please

    I love Essence Nail Polishes. I've been happy with every bottle I've purchased. They are highly pigmented, they come with a nice wide brush, they're very inexpensive and some are even opaque in one coat. Even when I compare this formula to higher end brands like O.P.I. and Essie, I prefer Essence.

    small bottles but cheap

    the bottle is small but the product is great. it is thick and is very chip resistant. i actually like the smaller bottle so it will be easier to use up the product before it starts to dry out or go bad.

    The Gel nail polish from essence--awesome polish! SOOO inexpensive, a good--if not huge--selection of colours. Applies smoothly with an easy-to-use flat brush, dries well, saturated colour & lots of shine. Oh, & durable too--easily get a couple of weeks chip-free if I pair it with a good base/top coat.

    This is my new favourite brand of nail polish! An extremely good value. I love the colours and am super impressed with the coverage. 2 coats of this polish gives you the type of coverage typically only found with 3+ coats of some of the more expensive brands. And with a good top coat, this polish will last for a solid week with minimal chips. If you've not yet tried these, RUN!

    Wow, excellent produit! L'application est facile et le pinceau d'une très bonne taille. La tenue est particulièrement bonne. Le produit est beaucoup plus efficace que des produits comparables beaucoup plus dispendieux. J'aimerais qu'il y ait davantage de couleurs disponibles.

    Everything about this polish is great! From the easy to grip handle, to the travel size bottle for easy carrying, I can't deny how pigmented the colors are each polish is literally a coat or 2 no hassle, no mess, just the best! My only problem with Essence is that they need to make more COLORS!!!!!
    I will always be a forever customer!

    I love this line of nail polishes! They are so affordable (I believe I paid mine under $2.00) and they come in a nice range of colours - not an extensive amount, but enough variety to experiment with. The gel formula brushes on so smoothly and it leaves a shiny polished finished, even without a topcoat. I still apply the top coat for added protection though. I'm into my third day wearing it and it still looks as good as the first day I applied it. Two coats of polish is all you need, but you can add a third layer if you really want an opaque finish. I will be collecting more of these soon. The only negative is that the bottle is a little on the smaller side, but still well worth getting.
