Two coats and it's a lovely French nude. 3 or 4 coats and you'll get a very nice healthy looking nails. This is the color I've been searching for and I'm so happy it exists. I think this color flatters every skin tone. Essie please make sure this color never discontinues!

I have a few shades of this polish, and I prefer Essie in general over other brands. I find the polish self-levels well, the brush shape makes it easy to apply, and it lasts longer than most store polishes. Also very easy to remove with acetone, even more so than non-gel polishes. With that said, this definitely doesn’t last as long as advertised (up to 14 days with top coat reapplication). If other polishes chip around day 2 of wear, this polish usually lasts about 4 days before chipping, at least on my dominant hand. I don’t have a job or hobbies where I’m rough on my hands. I find doing my manis relaxing, so I don’t mind doing it a couple time a week, but I wish I could get a full week of wear. There are also weird sticky threads that come out of the bottle sometimes, not sure what that is. Overall, better than any other store polishes I’ve tried but definitely can’t compare to a professional mani.

I gave away my OPI which was chipping right away, and will switch over to this. I work in healthcare and can only wear nail polish that doesn't chip- this lasted three days before small flaws started.

Color is drastically different than what is shown in the photo. I ordered the Pinky Ring expecting more of a hot pink color, but it's more of a pastel pink color. Not what I was going for. Initially I thought I was given the wrong color because it looks so different.
High expectations, low satisfaction

I loved the color of this product but I was hoping for a more salon quality result. The gel dried in odd clumps on a few fingers and didn’t last quite as long as I was expecting.

looking at the bottle i expected it to be a bit more opaque… it’s very sheer but you can build coverage and it turns out to be such a gorgeous pink! still semi sheer after 4 coats but it’s a really nice clean look. just wish it were less expensive because for the amount of coats needed you don’t get a tone of product for the $

The polish is accurately pigmented, glides nicely on your nail, it's thick, and dries decently fast compared to other brands of gel polish I've tried. First impression: I'm blown away. Interested to see how it holds up. Why did I wait so long to try this! Worth the price.
Good polish

I’m not very good at doing my nails but have started using this polish which does stay on with the top coat and reapplying the top coat after a week. By 2 weeks, it’s definitely started to chip around the tip and edge of the nail but not an eyesore. I thought Preshow Jitters would be more of a sheer. It looks white to me.
Best at home polish!

This polish paired with the Essie gel top coat lasted a week and a half, even with me constantly washing my hands due to cold and flu season. I probably could have made it last even longer if I reapplied the top coat after 7 days. I need to get more colors!

Trying to move away from dip powders and spending a fortune at nail salons. This is a good start, long lasting and looks professionally done. I still need to master my nail painting technique but I am satisfied overall.

This is the first polish I've ever gone through a full bottle of. I was looking for a longwear, neutral polish that would go with anything but still hold up to daily handwashing and cleaning chemicals at my childcare job. My nails have always been brittle, flaky and weak, but this polish has helped me keep them long for up to a few weeks at a time! It lasts for almost a week on my nails, is easy to remove and looks good with either one or two coats! As I near the bottom of the bottle it's gotten a little thick and harder to apply, but I suspect that's because I've used it so often that it's spent too much time exposed to air. I love love love this polish and plan to buy it again!
Amazing!

I follow the instructions and use gel couture polishes without a base coat, and then I follow up with the gel couture top coat. It genuinely does feel like having a gel polish manicure on your nails but without the risk of developing an allergy from misuse. It did, however, stain my nails yellow after several manicures because I didn't use a base coat. I've noticed the manicure lasts a lot longer when I don't use a base coat, though. I love the sheers from this line especially - they're so delicate, pretty, self-leveling, soft, and just what I want out of a smooth, clean "your nails but better" look.
