That gold is so soft and lasts so well! I love these. Your nails look so beautiful, Anna. You’re going to have more clients requesting French manicures.
Wish I had come across this vid sooner. Two bottles of polish ordered as you are demonstrating. Rock the runway and Bubbles only. All set for Christmas 2024. A belated thank you.
Love these reds! And the lovely gold tips! Your nails are lovely, Anna! Eight days? Wow! My Shellac doesn’t even last that long! Very informative, love the brush info. I’ll have to re-watch about rolling vs shaking. Yes to CND reds! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 and thank you!!
Love your channel! I watch your vidoes while painting my nails. Essie GC is my absolute favorite line and the only one that will stay on my nails for more than a couple of days. I can usually get 5+ days with Essie GC. I think Flashed was the first one I purchased! Lady In Red is my favorite GC red!
I can’t say it enough how this video is very helpful. You introduced me to the best shades. I have been looking for swatches and came cross your video. I always choose rock the runway, but had my nails done today and chose bubbles only and I LOVE IT! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to see some other Essie reds, although some of my faves haven't been made up as gel couture or as gels. The first three of your reds are too warm for me. But I'd definitely wear Drop the Gown, Bubbles Only, and Gal-avanting. The others are too dark for me, too much contrast against my skin. These videos are so helpful. I'm guessing Drop the Gown would be the best for me.
Merry Christmas Anna and Mr. SL!!! I love that you did a video of Essie GC reds. I enjoy their formula and they last well on my nails, about a week. After seeing this, I think I need to get Drop the Gown. Beautiful! Also, did you get my channel support donation?
Thank you for all the reds❣️I only have Galavanting & Model Clicks from this line & want to add more.reds (and other colors). I also love the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat. It never gets “gloopy”. Flashed, Rock The Runway & Bubbles Only are now on my wish list.
My favourite one are Bubbles Only, which I have and GalaVanting. The other red in my Essie Gel Couture collection is Rue de la Ruby, a cool deep red. From the classic line I have Fishnet Stockings, A List, Russian Roulette, Lacquered up, Aperitif and Forever Yummy. I don’t know if some of them are Gel Couture’s dupes (like Rock the Runaway vs Lacquered up). Really Red is on my whishlist. I’d like to see more reds swatches, even from other brands 😍
Oh my goodness! I never noticed that the Essie gel couture top coat had a different brush! I just checked and mine is totally like yours. And the cut isn’t quite as sharp as the regular brushes either. That is weird! Thank you for the idea of using a light color as a base coat with the dark colors. I do have one I don’t wear because I am afraid of staining. And MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thanks for your video, you helped me pick me pick the red for me! :) I also love your own nails here Anna - what colour/s are you using here? so beautiful with the gold tips
Love your French manicure! It's very pretty, and a different take. I learned a tip for removing polish from a nail without messing up the other nails. Use a tampon...dip it in polish remover, and use it to take off the damaged polish. Since you're holding it away from the part with the remover, your other nails stay fine. Also works if you want to change your pedicure color without damaging your manicure. I believe that was on Zabrena's RUclips channel.
Thank you, watched again, loved Model Clicks, but little bit hesitant as you said it might be patchy....I think you were right Essie Expressie Not so Low Key is even better but it is not available here.
Hi I am new to your channel. I want to thank you for the nail advice you share. Do you offer one on one coaching on nail colors to select? At home mani or pedi coaching via zoom? Finally if you can keep only one universally flattering red and dark red which one would it be?
Hi Marilyn! Welcome 🤗 I do offer 1-on-1 calls/ What'sApp calls (I don't use Zoom right now) and it's for our Patreon Pro subscribers but if you'd like to book it one time only you can too :) Please remember that I'm in European Central Time zone bit.ly/3Dn9jRf
This is a regular polish which the marketing people decided to call "gel" and confuse the consumers. This is nail polish so it removes like a nail polish :)
Keep the red nail polish swatches coming! I love them
^^ agreed! I want to be better at French tips and I’d love to hear your method and tips!!

I like how involved your husband is in the nail polish video's its soooo cute 😭💘. I wish mines cared even a little bit about these topics 🙄
I've just discovered an awesome essie red called With the Band - it's dark and warm toned so brown-leaning but just the right side of red. I love it!
That gold is so soft and lasts so well! I love these. Your nails look so beautiful, Anna. You’re going to have more clients requesting French manicures.
I like Rock the Runway and GalaVanting. Model Clicks is also gorgeous. Thanks for the constant education and entertainment. Grateful for you both.
I ❤️ y’all’s banter 😂I discovered you during shutdown and started doing my manicures at home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
You two are such a cute pair! Lovely colors
Love your nails!

My favorite Essie Gel Couture is a newer one. It’s Museum Muse. I love purple shades!

Thank you for the tip! I've seen it somewhere on IG as well :lol
Imagine my clients face when I pull out a tampon? That would be priceless lol 😂
@@TheSalonLife I would want a hidden camera to get their reaction 😂!
Love zabrena!
luv the red
Loved the gold on your free edges. :-)
looks good on his nails
Thank you for the wonderful video! Does this top coat dry by air or by light like Infinte Shine? Also your golden french is amazing 😍
Thank you Yulia! This is polish and it dries normally :)
Just catching up with your videos. Love all of these!

@@TheSalonLife Perfect, I just signed up for some help selecting Essie gel couture colors for my tan skin tone. Thank you for offering this service!!!
Those nails look incredible for 8 days!
Thank you from Florence and Mereu Christmas
you made a mistake 😄😂🤣 how sweet you guys are handling it
Tyfs 👌
Thank you for your comment :)
Cab You please recommend a nail polish remover for Essie gel couture?
Pure Acetone :)
I love Good Knight im more of a dark red person
Please, is gel nail polish difficult to remove? Thank you very much in advance.
This is a regular polish which the marketing people decided to call "gel" and confuse the consumers. This is nail polish so it removes like a nail polish :)
@@TheSalonLife Thank you very much again!
How long do these take to dry completely? Mine takes forever
Agreed, it does take awhile for it to dry completely.
