I already had it on for 4 days. I like that the top makes the nail polish dry quicker. Since it’s regular nail polish, it does take a while to dry so I put it on before I sleep and it works great. The nail polish doesn’t chip for me but the tip of my nails always loses color fast. I do wash a lot of things and use my hands a lot so it’s pretty good for it not being real gel. Removing the nail polish is so easy as well. I do have to redo the nails weekly otherwise it gets dull and can crack and chip. ## Frequently Bought Together - essie gel couture long-lasting mani kit, vegan, pink, top coat, Inside Scoop Kit, 1 set - Essie Gel Couture Longwear Nail Polish Kit, Sheer Nude Pink, Fairy Tailor + Top Coat, 0.46 fl oz each - essie Gel Couture Longwear Nail Polish, Matter Of Fiction, 0.46 fl. oz.
