Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

This stuff is great! It's honestly the best topcoat I've ever found. I use it over my gel manicure after about the first week, when the manicure is still in good shape but could use a little refresh. I reapply it every other day or so, and it makes a noticeable difference. It would also be a great topcoat on regular nail polish, or bare nails for strength and shine. I especially like that it adds another layer of protection against chips, and helps keep my manicure looking good much longer when I use this regularly. And a little extra shine is a bonus! I've included a photo so you can see the shine for yourself. I get a lot of compliments on the color also, so if you're curious, it's DND gel polish, Chili Pepper #757.

I've used this top coat over both Essie Gel polish and some cheap ($2) stuff I got at the drug store, and it's maintained the polish well in both cases. Days with no chips or loss of polish. That hasn't always happened with other top coats.

I have very soft brittle nails that bend and break easily. Regular gel polish lifts away from my nail bed after about a week, so they never last 2 weeks and are an absolute waste of time and money. Essie Gel Couture polish REALLY does last at least 10 days on hands and 3 weeks on toes. 1st, I clean/dry my nails with alcohol to remove any oils, then apply 3 coats of color (if it's sheer like Gossamer) and 1 coat of Essie Gel Couture top coat. My nails look the same after 5 days. No visible chips or wear. On day 5, I add another Essie top coat to get another 5 days of chip-less color and shine. Some users noted issues with drying time. My solution: place nails under a UV/fan light to dry for 1 minute between coats and for another 1 minute after the top coat. Nails are completely dry to a light touch in 5 minutes and cured in about 10 minutes. I'll definitely order more colors, as I may have finally found a long lasting polish combo!

I love this top coat! It provides protection of my polish and a gorgeous shine that lasts a long time. I apply one coat on top of my color polish and it lasts me about a week. I love that it's easy to take off too. Essie really did good with this! Highly recommend!

Great product, very shiny

First timer, dries so quickly, makes a great base to work from. I need more time for more information.

My favorite top coat ever. It dries rapidly so I can paint before bedtime, read for 10 mins and have a flawless mani in the morning. Stays shiny for days. I use lots of hand sanitizer for work and it holds up to the harsh conditions. I have rebought this product numerous times and will never change top coats. It arrived bubble wrap with no leaks, so I am also happy with this shipper!

I recently tried this Essie clear top coat and I must say, it's absolutely amazing! I've used it over Essie color gel polish and even other brands like OPI, and the results have been fantastic. My toenails have stayed flawless for about a month, without a single chip or flake in sight. Not to mention, it gives a professional-quality finish that lasts. Plus, it dries incredibly fast, making it a must-have in my nail care routine. Highly recommend this top coat for a long-lasting and beautiful manicure!

Excelente! Deixa um brilho surreal na unhas e seca super rápido.
