Nice Color, Streaks When Applying

2 years ago
This color has a tendency to streak more than others. This makes it harder to achieve a solid look. After it drys it has an opal look to it. I prefer more of high shine than the opal. Adding the final gel top coat helps somewhat.

Beautiful color!

The color is beautiful but three coats probably would have been better than two. This is the only one out of the four I have that I wish was a little more opaque. It’s also a little bit streaky. Could be own error though.

sheer

this color is very sheer but can be layered to be more opaque or I would put down a white base for more color impact,.

Salon Quality Gel!

8 years ago
I was so excited to get this Essie gel polish FREE from Influenster to test out! And I'm SUPER satisfied with the product. My nails look like they've been done in a salon. The brush applies the polish flawlessly and couples nice with the gel top coat. It dried within a few minutes and has lasted over a week.
