I bought the Essie gel polish and top coat system. As a frequent user of Shellac I was looking for a polish that I could do myself, had longer wear and easy to remove without damaging the nails. I was very impressed with this product. To my surprise the polish lasted 7 days without any chips. By the 7th day I found the colour to be a bit duller, that was the only down side. It dried quickly, I have used the polish at least 5 times with the same result each time. I bought #164-closing night.

love this stuff!!

I've tried nearly every brand of nail polish and at home gel polishes and nothing stays on as well as this does! usually, nail polish lasts no more than 3 days (tops!) chip free. I'm on to day 5 and still going strong with this stuff!!

I've also tried the gel top coat with another brand of regular polish and its still lasting longer than anything else!

I've tried all the "cult favourite" Orly base coat and Seche top coats but this beats them all!!!

the only downside is that this is a little pricier than other polishes but its definitely worth the price if I can go through the entire work week with pretty nails. (actually saving more money than having to re-doing them throughout the week). Just wait for it to go on sale - definitely worth it!

This stuff is taking over my polish collection. It's pricier than the average drugstore bottle, and it doesn't stay on as long as advertised; however, the colour selection is stellar, and it most certainly lasts longer than a standard polish. It also dries super quickly, so no dents in the manicure if I do my nails before bed.

I absolutely adore this product. It is the perfect happy medium to doing my own nails and saving money, being a product thag won't chip for at least 7 days, and will be removed with my non acetone polish remover.

Love this product . I don't beleive theirs a better product out there. This gel polish is a 2 steps . Very easy too apply on nails. Dry fast and last longer on nails then typical nail polish on the market.
