Love the color but polish is too thin

11 months ago

Very thin but I love the color. I'm very torn because I love a mint green, but after 3 coats I'm still seeing patchiness in color. I'm going to keep using it but wish it wasn't as thin.

Thin

I really liked the opaqueness of other colors in the gel product line. I was disappointed by Bling It. The color is very sheer even after 2 coats.

Hi there Tangie, we wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this muted semi sheer sage green with blue undertones. In your pictures, the color looks a bit sheer for the results we would expect to see after 2 coats. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Disappointing color pay off

a year ago

Beautiful color in the bottle but way too sheer on application. Disappointing color pay off even with 3 coats. Wish this would be specified on the bottles. I wouldn’t have purchased if I knew it was going to be so sheer

Hi there Candles! Thank you for sharing your experience with this muted sage green with blue undertones. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for. While not a true opaque color, the coverage should be more than you would see with a sheer tone. By the second coat your color should be perfect.

Nope

Upon arrival this item was damaged for me. With what was left the polish didn’t last long on my nail. With proper prep I experienced peeling, chipping and it took many coats for any pigmentation.

Hello jadea68. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture Longwear color 'bling it' This muted sage green with blue undertones is not a true opaque color nor a true sheer. By the second coat your color should be perfect. This long wear formula is applied to clean, dry nails with no base coat. Seal with the Gel Couture Top Coat.

It’s okay

2 years ago

I don’t paint my nails too often but was looking forward to receiving this nail polish. The color is pretty, but it’s not that pigmented. I would need 3 coats to achieve the look I want. It takes a full 2 hours to dry. It was easy to apply and the texture isn’t thick or tacky.

Hello brooked161. Thank you for sharing your pics and experience with the Gel Couture Longwear color 'bling it'. We're sorry to hear you didn't quite see the color results you were hoping for. By the second coat our nail enamels should look perfect. However, this muted sage green longwear nail polish with blue undertones is a semi-opaque color, not quite sheer.

Too sheer

2 years ago

Very sheer after multiple coats. The color lasts a long time and it does dry fast which I really appreciated but I assumed it would be more opaque.

Hello whovian22! Thank you for giving the bling it a try. We completely understand wanting dramatic color, and we're sorry to see your results are so sheer. While this muted sage green longwear nail polish with blue undertones is not a true opaque color, it should not be so sheer after 2 coats. While we are pleased to hear your color lasts well, try shaking the bottle well before your next use to see if you get more color pay off.

Nice color

2 years ago

I like this color a lot but unfortunately I had to wear several coats for it to come through. I felt like it should have a thicker formula. It took awhile to dry and so I recommend a fast drying top coat. The packaging is nice and the brush works well. Just wish it was opaque.

Excellent quality

2 years ago

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for review purposes. I chose the shade Bling It which is described as a muted sage with blue undertones. It has a subtle pearly, silver shimmer that adds a touch of dazzle but overall it is a pretty neutral color that would suit a variety of skin tones. Formula was sheer but very easy to apply. It self leveled easily and for my nails I did 2-3 coats. I used an Essie base coat and the Essie Gel Couture top coat that was also provided. I am a big fan of this top coat and have purchased it several times. My manicure did not chip for the 7 days I had it on. I am interested in trying other shades in this line.
