A lot of people never mention this, but when you buy &/or review something like nail polishes, you have to take the type of job you do as a consideration. I myself work in the material handling field, so you can probably guess just how easily my nail polish would chip, even with the best 'base coat + nail polish + top coat' combo out there. Hence why I never complain when nail polishes don't really live up to what they were marketed as. But so far, I've used 2 of Essie's Gel Couture products - both from their Ballet Nudes collection. And I'll tell you - I'm pretty impressed. The brushes are wider, making the application easier & producing less streaks. The formula is A+, imo - they didn't stain my nails (there is definitely no need for a base coat), they're glossier, and that top coat is incredibly shiny, doesn't get all gooey (unlike Essie's Gel Setter top coat), and dries quickly after application. (The GC top coat also works wonderfully with the regular Essie's!). Removing them is also painless. I've been wearing Perfect Posture (a powdery blue shade) for more than a week now, and it has barely chipped. I'm hoping they'd release more sheers in this collection - I love sheers, but they're a little tricky to apply! Overall, I really love Gel Couture. :) Anyhow, great review! That colour suits you well!
I hate chips and gave the Essie Couture a try, I must be a bit more hard on my nails than you as I have had mine on for 6 days and they look like yours at 13 days. I reapplied the top coat about 3 days in as I read that extends the wear but its not worked. They are better than regular Essie nail varnish which last 2 days on me. I do love the glossy shine though! Ps. your peach is my coral, its a lovely colour whatever its called!
You're such a humble person. I really have wanted to be a RUclipsr for a long time and watch a lot of your videos for how to carry myself through my videos if I ever decide to start !!!
I purchased the lighter almost white color..name is escaping me..but polish usually lasts less than 24 hr for me as my nails peel and break easy (lasts only 12 hr sometimes with some polishes ) and this actually lasted for 48hr + and through work as a nurse with all the hand washing. Much better than most. Very happy...need to buy more colors! Def loved that it dried pretty fast!
I love these...I watched a video b4 they launched and they were demonstrating all the cool lil things like the brush and how when u flatten it on the nail it covers almost the whole nail and how the wand curves to prevent dripping. I'm so impressed by these! i never would have been able to keep the same polish on that long!
I'm always skeptical when a nail polish company says the polish lasts for 14 days - maybe if you sit still all day! If there's a polish that can survive a very hands on job like mine, I'd be all over it! But great review - I'm tempted to try it; the colors are so pretty!
I was wondering how good these polishes were and didn't want to purchase until I saw reviews. Soooo thank you so much for your review of this product!! You are the BEST!!😊💜
I really liked the orange-peach color and the light purple and regular peach color! I am so excited for your next video and Congratulations for your own palette i loved it!
Thanks so much for the review! I have yet to see them up close so I just knew you'd do a good and truthful review on this product. I trust your opinion. BTW congrats on that beautiful palette so happy you're releasing it through the end of the year😘🎉
Thank you for reviewing these Jen. I have been wanting to pick a few up but have been hesitant :) Also I picked your palette up for my daughter and she is LOVING IT! Congrats beautiful lady xoxo
I am not sure if they already reached Puerto Rico resellers, but I will try some of these polishes as soon as I get them and will let you know, how it goes. If it is a true "long lasting" nail polish, I want to try it, who would not? I've tried all the other brands available here and they are so, so. I like those lovely colors and can't wait to try them. Thank you for your review; as always awesome!
Wow!!!! Your mani looks just like a gel mani 😍😍 I do my own dip powder nails at home but have been doing more research on gel mani but I have been coming across these Essie gel polishes!!!! I think I may give these a try! I like that there is no UV/LED lamp just like dip
How is removal of the polish? Do you think the top coat could be used with other polishes? Do you wrap the tip of your nail when you paint it on? Wondering if that would slow down the wear on the tips. Sorry so many questions but a girls gotta know!
Such an amazing idea to test the 14 day wearability. That'll really help when it comes to buying nail polish that I want to stay on for a while because I'm on holiday or I can't paint my nails for some horrific reason :) xx
How is the process of taking the nail polish off? I bought a china glaze gel polish and I saw that once you put it on it requires a special light and to remove its quite a process. I do want to try gel since it does last longer. 😊
These look great. I can't wait to try them! I love how Gel Polishes don't necessarily chip but just sort of wear away. They last SO long! Thanks for the great review! ~Gloss and Sparkle
I love all of your videos so much! I'm so happy with all of the videos you've been uploading lately!!!!! In my subscription box, if you have a new video, it's the first video I watch, I love your videos so much!!!!! Also, you should do an Instagram Q&A again soon or a chit chat GRWM I love all of those sit down and talk with the viewers videos! ILYSM❤️💗
Loved this video!!! I just saw these at the store but I wasn't sure if I should get them or not but next time I see them I'm definitely getting some! Love you!
Thanks for this video this polish is amazing I have tried all the other "gel" polishes with no results. I am on day 10 with just a few tip touch ups, can't wait to buy more colors.
+Jenny Claire Fox yes she is one of the only RUclipsrs that actually answer your questions. She is my favorite. I love her reviews and nail tutorials. Actually I love her whole channel. 😊😊😊
I assumed these would be good,.but haven't actually come across any to test them out. lol. I knew when I came across "your" review I could trust it so it's good to hear they're worth while. I'm definitely keeping my eye out for them.
So glad you did a review on these 😍 thankyou!! I was going to purchase these the other week but wondered what removal was like ? Does it remove as easily as normal nail polish? X
Congrats for the palette!!! I love your videos so much!♥️🔥👍🏼 Your makeup is on fleck!!👌🏽 I live in Arizona too. I finally got Essie nail polish for my birthday which was yesterday! Once again love your videos!
Love these! Thanks so much for the review!! But I gotta know what do you use to keep your cuticles and skin around your nails from cracking and being dry?
i like them... they look long lasting ... btw I can see that you are almost one million followers!!!! that's awesome ... also congrats on your palette... I don't live in use but my aunt does so she is getting it for me and sending it... love your videos jenn
+Jenny Claire Fox your welcome Jenn hope you can make your own nail polish collection or line (even better) include something shinny maybe a muktichrome or/and a holografic shade... cause you shine girl!! love ya
Wow, this is super impressive! Did you do "everyday chores" and activities that typically chip nail polish? Dish-washing (although I use gloves to preserve my skin and nails!), sports, opening pop-lid cans, etc? I feel like all nail polish chips on me within a couple days!
Hi Jenny! I was just wondering if Essie has any other colors besides those colors you have. And do you think that just the topcoat would help it not chip?
Yes they have a ton of colors! I put the link in the description box. I havent tried the top coat with a regular polish yet, but I will let you know! xo
+Jenny Claire Fox it did I always use your videos to help me decide on some of the Essie colors that I get. The swatches and your reviews on the formula are always super helpful!
I didn't comment on your palette reveal, but it is on my favorites list and I can't wait to get it, but I have to wait until it comes to the store. (Husband has a Thai food and Ulta shopping date planned for the last of the month)
Ok so quick question? what tasks and stuff did you do while wearing this polish? my polish always chips because I'm doing dishes and cleaning house and just daily things..so your opinion - would this polish stand up to all of that?
Really liking those polishes and the limited chipping was a big bonus to me! Have you tried Sally hansens mirical gel formulas? I like a lot of the colours and formulas and their top coat dry pretty quickly in my opinion:)
I will trying these for sure... My polish chips in the 48... 😩 I use my hands a lot... Love your videos... Many Blessings to You and Yours sweetie... 😊
First yes I love you Jenny you are absolutely gorgeous congrats on you pallets I love the shades keep working hard I am hopeful to see a nail polish made by you❤️
+Jenny Claire Fox can you do a review on the revlon nail art moon candy duos I don't think they are that new but I just bought one and would love to see your opinion on them m☺️
I love the peach color on you. You have gorgeous nails. Question: do you take the gel polish off with nail polish remover or do you have to buy a certain remover. Thanks. I was given Eddie nail polish in a giveaway. I think I am converted. Lol

I'd love to see a comparison video between the Essie and other brands of 'gel tech' nails like Sally Hansen or Sinful Colors.
This was really helpful to see how it wore for so many days! Thank you!
Wow, this is super impressive! Did you do "everyday chores" and activities that typically chip nail polish? Dish-washing (although I use gloves to preserve my skin and nails!), sports, opening pop-lid cans, etc? I feel like all nail polish chips on me within a couple days!
Love the peach color!
Will the top coat produce the same results on any polish, or do you have to buy the corresponding formula?
I've been waiting for you to do a review on these ever since I saw them in Boots
I'm so glad you have, I absolutely love your reviews
So glad you like these. I've been waiting for a review before I tried them and now I definitely will!
Beautiful as always! Could you please do a review on Bundle monster/Mitty burn's peel off tape (has no latex)
Hi Jenny! I was just wondering if Essie has any other colors besides those colors you have. And do you think that just the topcoat would help it not chip?
Yes they have a ton of colors! I put the link in the description box. I havent tried the top coat with a regular polish yet, but I will let you know! xo
Thanks so much! What are you wearing on your lips? I have similar skin color and find it SO hard to find flattering colors.
I can't wait to try them!! Thanks for the video!!!
+Jessica Rahrlien hope it helped!!
+Jenny Claire Fox it did I always use your videos to help me decide on some of the Essie colors that I get. The swatches and your reviews on the formula are always super helpful!
I didn't comment on your palette reveal, but it is on my favorites list and I can't wait to get it, but I have to wait until it comes to the store. (Husband has a Thai food and Ulta shopping date planned for the last of the month)
Thanks for the review! I wish you could have showed us similar colors by other brands like you used to
Yay. I am a nail junkie and I love that you made a review so fast!!' Will go buy them.
That peach color is so pretty!
Did you like it better then the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel you reviewed?
Love that peach color! And it looks pretty good!
Ok so quick question? what tasks and stuff did you do while wearing this polish? my polish always chips because I'm doing dishes and cleaning house and just daily things..so your opinion - would this polish stand up to all of that?
I've always wanted to try Essie nail polishes they seem so good xxx
Just purchased some of these polishes and I can't wait to try them!
I have had great experiences with both of the purples!
do you happen to know what the difference is between essie gel setter and essie gel couture topcoats? thanks for any info you can provide! tfs xoxo
Hi Jen, is it easy to remove or do you have to soak your nails?
I'm excited to try these. With a new baby at home, I haven't painted my nails for weeks!
I'm sold. Defiantly gonna try them. Thanks for the review, Jenny!
i bought your palette and i am in love with the colors and the brush is amazing
Omg that makes me SO HAPPY!!!!! Thank you so much :)
no problem ;)
omg what is on your lips?? so gorgeous!
Any tips on how to avoid getting those annoying bubbles when you paint your nails?
when u remove the nailpolish can you use a normal nailpolish remover? i loveee that orange and want to buy it
+Alex Langell yes normal removed
+Jenny Claire Fox thank you so much!! 😘
Hello, I am wondering if you can stamp your nails with this polish and apply the top coat at the end.
Really liking those polishes and the limited chipping was a big bonus to me! Have you tried Sally hansens mirical gel formulas? I like a lot of the colours and formulas and their top coat dry pretty quickly in my opinion:)
you look soo Beautiful Miss Jen😍😍!loved all d colors😘
I have been waiting for you to review these!!! Woohoo!
Can you do gel nail polish with designs please!!! I love gel polish specially because I love letting my nails grow
You're nails are so beautiful! I wish I could grow out my nails like that! Great video, thanks for the review!
Thank you for this! I wasn't sure about buying them because I too like to change my color faster. But maybe I'll try some!
I will trying these for sure... My polish chips in the 48... 😩 I use my hands a lot... Love your videos... Many Blessings to You and Yours sweetie... 😊
I just purchased On The List today with the top coat...so blessed i didnt waste my money then and it actually lasts ☺💅🏽
All the colors look pretty.
First yes I love you Jenny you are absolutely gorgeous congrats on you pallets I love the shades keep working hard I am hopeful to see a nail polish made by you❤️
+Nail art 101 thank you!!! ☺️💓
+Jenny Claire Fox np😊
+Jenny Claire Fox can you do a review on the revlon nail art moon candy duos I don't think they are that new but I just bought one and would love to see your opinion on them m☺️
Hi. I love the peach shade as well. What is your lip product? It's beautiful. Thank you! :)
I love your reviews, they're so helpful!!
Do you wear a base coat with these?
I LOVEEEEEE the wavy hair ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!!!!
They all look so pretty! can we get them in the uk? xx
Did you use a blue light dryer to help dry your nail polish? Or let it just dry naturally?
They dry naturally
You let it dry naturally because it's easier and that's the point, the gel polishes without the UV light
Ohhhhh is that what is it?!? That's awesome!
I love you so much you have no idea!! I bought your pallet! I HAD TO DO MAJOR CONVINCING (my parents 🙄😂) BUT IM WAITING TO GET IT 😭😭 YOU GO GIRL!! 😍😍
I love you too!!! I hope you love it!
you convinced me to buy some ! I'm so excited to try them out!
Great review Jenny. You're beautiful as always.
+Rachel Moyer thank you so much! xo
+Jenny Claire Fox when you write me back it makes my 8 year old daughter and I squee
I love the peach color on you. You have gorgeous nails. Question: do you take the gel polish off with nail polish remover or do you have to buy a certain remover. Thanks. I was given Eddie nail polish in a giveaway. I think I am converted. Lol
Thanks for another great and helpful video!! I love your channel!!
How do these compare with the Sally hensan gel polishes you reviewed not to long ago? Thanks.
Hi Jenny what color have you on your nails??? Very pretty
Do you remove with regular nail polish remover? And does coat bottle look the same?
How much do these cost? Also what do you have to do to take the polish off?
I just looked at the link and they are $11.50 on ulta. Most gel polish like this will come off with an acetone based nail polishes remover.
Allison Galler Thanks!
