Review: What I LIKE about it: 1) SALON QUALITY — It really does look like a professional gel manicure once it dries, super glossy, smooth, and even. I’ve had people ask where I got my nails done, and they’re always surprised to hear I did them myself! 2)LONG LASTING WITHOUT THE UV LAMP —I usually get around 2 weeks of wear, which is much longer than regular polish. It could last longer for others, I do actually do a lot of chores around the house, and anyway I’d refresh my nails before the start of the week, so this is perfect. The top coat really seals it in and gives that hard, gel-like finish without needing a light. 3) EASY TO APPLY — the brush is perfect. The curved, wide brush makes application so easy and streak-free, even for someone who’s not great at painting nails. It spreads evenly and covers the nail in just two coats. 4) DRIES QUICKLY — I love that it dries faster than most polishes I’ve used. I can do my nails, let them set for a few minutes, and get on with my day without worrying about smudging. 5)BEAUTIFUL COLOUR RANGE — The shade selection is gorgeous, from soft neutrals to rich reds and trendy pastels. The finish always looks chic and glossy, and I’ll be getting more colours from this range. Overall: I couldn’t recommend it enough if you love the look of gel nails but don’t want the UV lamp or salon trips. It’s glossy, durable, easy to apply, and removes just like normal nail polish. I hope you found this review HELPFUL. Makes reviewing worthwhile. Thank you!
Review: Très contente de la teinte "Fairy Tailor" qui est exactement ce que je voulais : un rosé transparent, qui devient un peu plus opaque avec 2 couches (cf. photos). La tenue est correcte, le séchage assez rapide... Je passe une 2e commande !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by N***I on 23 May 2023*

I recently bought the Essie Gel Couture Longlasting High Shine Nail Polish in the shade "Fairy Tailor" for my daughter and I must say, she is quite impressed with the results. This sheer nude pink color is absolutely stunning and adds a touch of elegance to my nails. One of the standout features of this nail polish is its long-lasting formula. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it stayed on my nails without chipping or fading for several days. It definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of longevity, and I appreciate not having to touch up my manicure frequently. The application of this nail polish is a breeze. The brush is wide and flat, which allows for easy and precise application. The formula itself is smooth and goes on evenly without streaks. I only needed two coats to achieve the desired opacity, which is impressive for a sheer shade like "Fairy Tailor." I also love the high shine finish this nail polish provides. It gives my nails a glossy, salon-like appearance without the need for a UV lamp. The shine lasts throughout the wear, making my nails look polished and well-maintained. Another aspect that I appreciate about the Essie Gel Couture line is the drying time. It dries relatively quickly, which is great for someone like me who is always on the go and doesn't have much time to spare for nail drying. The 13.5ml bottle size is generous, and a little goes a long way with this nail polish. I have been using it for a few weeks now, and there is still plenty of product left in the bottle. Overall, I highly recommend the Essie Gel Couture Longlasting High Shine Nail Polish in the shade "Fairy Tailor" to anyone who loves sheer, nude pink shades with a touch of sophistication. The long-lasting formula, easy application, high shine finish, and generous bottle size make it a great investment for beautiful nails. #EssieGelCouture #NailPolish #FairyTailor #SheerPink #LongLastingShine #SalonLikeFinish #EasyApplication #QuickDrying #ProductReview
