Love the color but polish is too thin
8 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.

Disappointing color pay off

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.

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
a year 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
a year 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.

I really love this color. I think the top coat alone works well as well. Drying time feels a little long, but I think that’s because I’m used to the salon. I think it’s a great polish!

Color is perfect for spring

I really love this color, like a light mint green. It goes on smooth. I did have to apply 3 coats of it to cover my nails so the color would be more noticeable. It is very light. I love the shape of the bottles. I felt like I had a better grip on them than the standard smooth square bottles.

this is a very cute nail polish! i did a pedicure with it and it lasted slightly better than a regular polish but not quite as well as a salon gel. the color is beautiful— less bright than in the photo but really pretty and vibrant. the packaging is cute (although the weirdly shaped bottle makes it awkward to store). i would buy in other colors!

Not Hard, But Durable

Nice application lasts
2 years ago
I like that this goes on very smoothly and makes it super easy to apply. Good brush and polish spreads nicely. Also dries well and doesn’t take too long. The only downside is of this specific shade is you need to apply 3 coats and it still is pretty light. When you apply one it barely shows up.

This nail polish color is GORGEOUS! It applies so smoothly. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it took 4 coats to get it this dark. The 1st coat looked almost clear with a green tint. It’s still beautiful though and I love that they sent the top coat polish as well. Would definitely buy!

Does not chip! I'm shocked!
2 years ago
I love nail colors but they do not love me back lol. They always chip off the day I wear them, no matter what base or top coat I use. But THIS ONE WON'T BUDGE! It's been four whole days since I put this nail color on, and I've cooked, took a bath, and went for a paint night and there's absolutely not a single chip in sight! The bottle said to put on two layers but that was too sheer for me so I put on three layers to make the color fully opaque. I also used the Essie Gel Top Coat on top. This is an absolute staple and I cannot wait to get a few more colors!

This nail gel is VERY opaque, thankfully i already owned a similar color polish to use as a base or else it would have taken me quite a few coats to get a non see through coat. That being said this and the top coat both dry quickly and with no streaks

Hello valeriem95. there. Thank you for sharing your pic and experience with the the Gel Couture color 'bling it'. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. This muted sage green with blue undertones is not a true sheer color nor a true opaque creme color. The result should be a jewel like shimmer.

Really long wear
2 years ago
I received Bling It polish nail from Influenster for free. The color is very nice. I am very pleased with this nail polish. It stayed on even my little toes for weeks, longer than salon gel polish. The color (dark red) is also very pigmented and deep, and they covered up the last bits of gel I could not get off very nicely.

Great polish.

I received this product from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. I love this gel style polish: easy to apply, easy to seal with the gel topcoat. It didn’t take too long to dry either. It chipped somewhat fast but literally all polishes do for me, I wash my hands constantly and work with office supplies.

Better than expected
2 years ago
First off the packaging for this product is beautiful and unlike any other brand of nail polish I own. The application goes on super smooth and clean. After allowing the color coats to slightly dry (give it a few minutes) I applied the top coat provided. It dried quicker than my regular nail polishes and the color was a beautiful light pastel shade. I’ll absolutely be using this all summer.

Cute Spring Nail Polish
2 years ago
I absolutely loved using this product! The nail polish applied quite easily, and I was able to get a vibrant color after just two coats of polish. This is a perfect Easter/Spring color, and I can see it looking good on a variety of skin tones. I haven’t had any issues with durability thus far, and I felt like it dried relatively quickly. Applying the Essie top coat made the overall color look even better, and it gave a shiny, finished appearance to my toenails.

The first coat is very sheer and has some shimmer to it. You definitely need a second coat and that is what I used in my photo. It does take a bit to try before it’s ready for another coat. I ended with the top coat to hold it on well. I usually do gel nails so it will be interesting to see how long these last. I got this polish to try for free in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely jade polish

I really love the color of this nail polish, it's a creamy jade with a bit of glitter to it. The consistency is thin so multiple coats are needed for an opaque look. The brush is very nice and easy to use, I didn't have any trouble making precise strokes.

I was excited and painted my nails immediately after getting this and wow it’s awful. I like the bottle shape, I’ve used this brand before so I know it’s the color specifically but it’s so bad. Runny formula, it took 4 coats and it still wasn’t good coverage. Just awful

Hello pumpkin90. there! Thanks for sharing your experience with the bling it'. We wish you were seeing the results you were hoping for. This color should be a muted sage green with blue undertones. The texture should not be any thinner or thicker than any nail enamel and by the second coat your color should be perfect.
