longwear nail polish lets color addicts have it all: glossy swipe-on color that stays intact for up to two weeks, and then quickly wipes off with polish remover like traditional enamel. the longwear gel by essie collection is gel nail polish that lasts longer than classic polish because it prevents chipping by “flexing” with your natural nail. the top coat seals the deal with incredible durability and an ultra- glossy gel-like shine.
