Hi there lez0, thank you for trying out the color ‘pinky ring’! Its so great to hear you love the color for this vivid midtone pink blue undertones…but, this longwear color should dry in about 5 minutes for each coat. Be sure to apply this formula on bare nails with no basecoat.

Hi there swbookworm, we would be disappointed too! This longwear vivid pink should look great for well over a week. Be sure to apply on bare nails and skip the base coat. 2 coats and the top coat should give you a long lasting mani. 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

The Perfect Pink!

Essie Pinky Ring is the most beautiful shade of pink. It applied beautifully and the wear time was unbeatable. I purchased the Gel Couture Topcoat on my own so I’d have a complete manicure. The Topcoat is the second step you need to set your color and help it not Chip. Essie Gel Couture is my go to Polish.

Perfect Summer Pink!
10 months ago
I’m absolutely in love with Essie’s Gel Couture in Pinky Ring! It’s the prettiest, soft-yet-vibrant pink that feels perfect for summer. The color is fresh, feminine, and adds just the right pop to my nails without being too bold. I’ve received so many compliments on it already!
The formula applies super smoothly, and with the wide brush it’s easy to get an even coat. It dries quickly and lasts beautifully without chipping for several days, especially with the Essie Gel Couture top coat.
If you’re looking for a flattering, feel-good pink to wear all summer long, Pinky Ring is it. Definitely a new staple in my collection!
yes, I recommend this product.

Long lasting, Pretty Pink Color, Smooth Finish

Love the fact that they provided a full size sample. I felt that gel by essie in pinky ring is a top quality Nailpolish. The pink color was bright and pretty. It had a smooth salon-like finish and the nail paint lasted for more than a week. I do dishes everyday with hands, but the nailpolish lasted really long which was impressive. I loved the overall quality of the nail polish.
