The essie gel couture line is a stand out suite of lacquer formulas.
If you’re looking for nail polish that lasts about a week, is somewhat economical and dries fairly quickly, time to consider essie gel couture.
The good news is that with gel couture, you don’t need a base coat, which saves you time and money. Also, the original gel couture top coat is really shiny. It’s a super gloss top coat from a dream come true.
The primary negatives about the gel couture formulas are that they are often more expensive than the regular essie and expressie line.
However, given the non-need to buy a base coat and the wear time, you can come out ahead on the purchase, since you use less product and can stretch out the product that you do use.
To get an idea for the look and feel of gel couture, below are a few swatches. All are shown with two coats of color and a top coat.
