Review: “Long-Lasting Shine Without a Lamp” - I bought this Essie Gel Couture top coat duo and I was honestly surprised. The shine it gives looks like a salon finish, and it lasts much longer than a regular top coat. I like that it dries fast, isn’t sticky, and helps the color stay without chipping. Also, the bottle design is super comfortable to hold, and the brush applies smoothly without streaks. I’ve used it a couple of times already and my nails look freshly done for more than a week. I totally recommend it if you want a professional finish without needing a lamp and with amazing shine. Totally worth it. ✨💅
