Essie Gel Couture First Fitting Nail Polish

This Essie nail polish in Wild Card is stunning! The color is vibrant and bold, perfect for making a statement. The glossy finish is salon-quality, and it lasts without chipping for days. It applies smoothly, and the brush makes it super easy to get even coverage. A must-have for anyone who loves polished nails!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I have been looking for a pale pink solid colour (so you can't still see the white bit of nail through it) for ages and bought so many that looked ok in the bottle but were hopeless when actually applied. The end result of this one is brilliant. At first I was dubious because the first coat went on a bit thin and streaky but the second coat evened it up a bit and the third coat finished it off perfectly. I then applied the Gel Couture Top Coat (solid white bottle) and it gave a really smooth, shiny finish and didn't take half the polish off with it, which I've found with many other top coats. Each coat dried very fast with no tackiness, also a bonus as I tend to get impatient and more often that not start doing things too soon and ruin it! Note: the photo makes it look quite white but it's just the light, it's most definitely pale pink, a cool pink, rather than a warm tone.

This brand is a great brand. But this colour was not as deep as I would have liked. I had to do 5 coats to get the desired effect

love it! reapply at the edge of my nail and do the full thing every two weeks with the top coat, definitely longer lasting than other brands

Haute to trot used for pedicure on the picture. A couple days after application. This varnish in all shades last two weeks when used for pedicure. But only around 5 days when used for manicure (if you wash your dishes, do gardening work extra). Possibly can last 7+ if you only use your hands to type and no manual work. Not a shellac manicure but better than normal varnish.

The essie gel couture is a lovely varnish but I wasn’t a fan of the colour once it was on my nails.

My favourite nail varnish , I always black 😍

This lasted a full 8 days with no chipping which is great but they slip off colour is so pale I needed 4 coats.

Très joli vernis à ongles! Je suis satisfaite de mon achat !!!

Very bad for your nails!

The color is beautiful and applies evenly without streaks. The brush makes it easy to get coverage consistency, and two coats gave me a smooth, glossy finish. My manicure stayed shiny and chip-resistant for over a week, even with regular household chores. I like that the color works well for both everyday wear and special occasions, making it a versatile choice. Removability is good too, easy with regular nail polish remover without excessive scrubbing. Overall, this polish gives a salon-quality look at home, and I would definitely purchase more shades.

Colore molto elegante, cercavo uno smalto semitrasparente e naturale, questo è quello che mi ci voleva. Arrivato con un giorno in anticipo.
