I know this is super late, but I do finally get my hands on my first two Essie Gel Coutures! Got my first polish out of the Pattern Play collection ( Chevron Trend, a deep, saturated raspberry shade ) and Caviar Bar ( a dark, midnight navy blue ) Not from the collection, just the standards. They're shades are so whimsical and pretty! Can't wait to wear one of those shades for the fall!
Definitely a Fall vibe with this collection. The purple is really prettty! Might have to see if I can find Too, Too Hot though because I'm in a red phase. I've already seen a review of the Essie Valentine's Day collection, so yes Essie is really pumping them out! Great review, Laurie!
Thank you Laurie. Always very helpful. This is too autumnal for my eye at the moment. I get GREAT ideas from your comparison's and advice. Happy New Year !
Love the browns on u and purples! I mean everything is nice.... Oh I've never tried the Gel ones. I'm going to soon thou! I hadn't bought Nail polish in like 10 years...I got a box of free nail polishs and have been playing w those. But I'm noticing they are so old they don't work well... So I'm finally treating myself to only a few new ones. Being on a tight budget I have to be so picky.❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘✌️✌️✌️💖💖💖💖💖
Great review Laurie. I really like this collection. I am so sad that Autumn is over now 😢 but at least we can plan for next year! And these are perfect!
I love this line! It's definitely my favorite and the largest portion of my collection. Your comps were spot on and very helpful! I will probably be picking up All Checked Out because I love deep brown. Happy to see more of those in this formula. I'm noticing the internet has some mixed-up names for these polishes--does that happen often? Clearly you have them accurate because you're reading the bottles. I agree that these colors work for winter into spring, but could also go fall. Maybe that speaks to how versatile they are. Thanks for your lovely review.
Have never tried GC without a base coat but think I may like to as I just don’t get longevity out of it. Do you find the polishes stain without a base coat though?
So very Fall! All of them pretty, the purple is my favorite. I don’t think I’ll get any, the gel couture line isn’t one I usually buy. I have wanted Essie’s Geranium for the longest time, I really need to just get it already.
We didnt get the essie toy to the world christmas collection in Canada, I don't know what happened! But I did see like half this collection in a display in Canada the other day, I picked up the green and orange.
I find it very frustrating when a polish looks so different in the bottle to on the nail. Suzi and the Arctic Fox was the same for me with the purple much less evident and the whole polish looking darker on the nail.
I haven't used any of the Essie Gel Couture polishes in a very long time, but since you speak so highly of them, I might have to pick some up! Great review as always!

I love the gel couture line! Colors are so pretty, but definitely fall shades. Thanks for ur videos and love your comments and comparisons!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

Too Too Hot is a good one 😀 So many collections! That collection is on it's way to me now :)

I'm so glad it was helpful!
These are BEAUTIFUL and a must have, fall or not! Need these in my life! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. I love the collection as well!

That purple is STUNNING
IT is!!!
Beautiful line! I don’t usually buy GC but the colors, especially that plum, are mouthwatering. Thanks Laurie.
It's a fantastic purple!
Great review Laurie. I really like this collection. I am so sad that Autumn is over now 😢 but at least we can plan for next year! And these are perfect!
The fall is such a great time for nail polish, I am always sad to see it go too!
They're actually all really beautiful for any season. You sure do have a lot of corals and that's just from Essie! 😳Lovely review!
So. Many Corals. 😂
Loving that Essie is giving us so many greens!
Me too!! I have had to do so many green comparisons lately and there are more to come this mont as well. 😓
These are pretty! I think I would buy Paisley all the way. Another great review ❤️
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the Gel couture line! Chevron Trend is my favorite- love those Raspberry shades.
me too! Thanks for watching!
Definitely a fall vibe to this collection. I may pick up a couple. The Gel Couture line is my favorite polish!
I am so glad you love this line! 💜

Thank you so much! I think they are pretty versatile as well. All Checked Out is a great one to pick up. I have been wearing it this week. I love it!
Have never tried GC without a base coat but think I may like to as I just don’t get longevity out of it. Do you find the polishes stain without a base coat though?
I haven't had issues but my nails aren't very prone to staining. I never use a basecoat with these though.
I saw these in the store today and gave the green a second glance but that’s about it. I also thought it really didn’t look like a winter collection!
Yes, I really think it was delayed due to COVID. Could be wrong though.
I love the gel couture line!
💜 💜 💜
Just picked up too too hot and totally in love with it. Summer in South Africa and it's such a nice shade to wear in summer too 🥰
Yay! It's the perfect summer red!
Love this whole collection!
Yay!!

Yes, just go get it already! haha. Let me know if you do :)

That's weird! I wonder if that is a COVID issue?
I definitely feel like this was covid delayed and was supposed to be out in the fall.
I have my eye on a couple of these 👀
I think you are right. It must have been delayed.
I find it very frustrating when a polish looks so different in the bottle to on the nail. Suzi and the Arctic Fox was the same for me with the purple much less evident and the whole polish looking darker on the nail.
Love this whole collection. But my favourites were the same as yours
We have similar nail polish tastes :)

Let me know how you like them!
