    Effervescence with Effort

    a year ago
    Was surprised by the reviews on here so I decided to add my own. Personally, I love this; yes it's a bit light, so I go with two coats on a dark color to make it stand out much more (plus a top coat to smooth out the texture). My recommendations are pairing this with Leather Weather, Licorice, On Mute, Garden Variety, Choreo Queen, even Watermelon is fun... and my personal favorite? Air Dry; it reminds me of a rainy day. So yes, this takes a bit to work, but the results are beautiful :D

    Disappointment

    a year ago
    I am very disappointed with this polish. I bought it expecting the effect to look just as vibrant on my nails as it does on the bottle, but it fell far short. When applied, it seems to shine for the first few hours, but over time, it becomes dull and even develops a yellowish tint. The flakes make the nails feel rough, and the polish starts to peel. It's terrible. I hope they improve the formula to make it truly shine and perform better.

    What sparkle?

    a year ago
    Sadly this is probably the worst polish I’ve ever gotten from Essie! Firstly, there is no payoff, you can’t see the sparkles at all. It is mainly clear polish with some chonky blue flakes here and there. It is invisible unless you’re shining a flashlight directly on it, even then it’s pretty tough to see. Though they provide little to no visual effect the flakes certainly affect the nail texture, leaving an unpleasant surface texture while pilling up the base polish and peeling it off, even though I allowed time for the base layers to dry and used an Essie polish. It doesn't seem to dry at all, I applied it 6 hours ago and it’s still rather tacky and easy to scuff up, the stuff was a nightmare the first couple of hours. I usually love these kinds of topcoats, layered or alone but this one ain’t it.

    Hi Cmb5520. Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience with us on our Divine Dimension. We are so happy to hear how much you love our products and how easy they are to apply! We are so sorry to hear you did not achieve the results you were hoping for with this polish. However, we do recommend with this product following the two step application for the best results. You would use both the gel couture color and the specially formulated top coat. The gel couture nail polish brush is designed for even polish lay down and fits the curvature of your cuticle. We hope this information helps and you continue to use our products with great satisfaction!
