Hi there, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It sounds like the formula didn't perform the way it should, and we understand your frustration—especially regarding the dry time. The Gel Couture colors take slightly longer to dry - 5 minutes, but your application does not sound like it dried as it should have. Be sure to apply this long wear formula to bare nails for best adhesion (no base coat). 2 thin coats topped with the Gel Couture Topcoat should all be dry in less than 10 minutes tops!

I hate this product

a year ago
Worst gel I have ever used! The formula is horrible, and either wipes off when you try to swipe the gel again or gets so clumpy. Save your money and get beetles.

Hailey Bieber Nails!

a year ago
If you're looking for that Hailey Bieber nail - look no further! This is supposed to be sheer so prep your nails (shape, smooth and buff otherwise every imperfection will show through) and after two coats, it's still sheer and accentuates the natural nail in this natural pinkish white glow. Please never discontinue this color!

Opaque, but dries nicely. Needs more coats.

a year ago
I agree with the other reviews. I tried this product at least 3 times and have to apply at least 4 coats to achieve the look in the photos. Coats nicely and evenly, but not a normal Essie product. I do like 1 of the pink colors. If you prefer a more opaque, white, & shiny look, this is your color.

Hello Missy777. Thank you for your description of your experience with the Gel Couture long wear color 'chiffon the move'. We can see a bit of confusion over this an elegant sheer ivory nail polish. Its not a true opaque and not a true sheer, but our pictures for the results definitely do look opaque.

Nice concept but falls short

2 years ago
Directions say to use 2 coats, I'm at 3 now and debating on a 4th. I would love this color if it didn't look sparse in areas. I'm trying to find info on if it's okay to keep adding layers or if that ruins the integrity of the whole concept of gel polish but can't find any information on this... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hello Herb27. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture color 'chiffon the move'. We just wish you could see the results you were hoping for in 2 coats. All essie nail colors, including this one, should look perfect by the second coat. Applying more than 2 coats of a color tends to result in unwanted chipping. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845

Not what I expected

2 years ago
This color is not a solid white like is shown in the pictures. It is a very sheer off-white with a pinkish tint and it took four coats to get any color to shoe up at all. The formula is also much more runny than the other gel coutures that I have which made it more difficult to apply as well. Very disappointed. Please make a solid, opaque white for gel couture!!

Hello alex126. Thank you for sharing your experience with the gel couture longwear color 'chiffon the move'. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this an elegant sheer ivory longwear nail polish. This polish should not be thinner in texture than any other nail enamel.

I love this color! Its a pretty white with a hint of pink iridescent. I just wish there was a gel uv polish version. I hope you come out with more gel uv colors rather than the gel couture themes. Each color should have a uv gel partner.
