essie Gel Couture Longwear Nail Polish, Matter Of Fiction, 0.46 fl. oz. (packaging may vary)

The color match prefect for what I needed

Super cutee color amazing coverage and long lasting

Love this nail polish! It lasts so long and dries quickly. Easily my fav nail polish brand out there, nothing lasts as long and doesn’t chip like Essie.

Wow. This stuff is legit! Day 10 & still going. Gel manicures ruined my nails so I will never do them again. But regular polish, even expensive enamel, never makes it to day three. By the second day, it’s chipping and peeling, and looks horrible. I’m just in water too much, using my nails for everything, so it is not worth the trouble. BUT… I put this stuff on and 10 days later it still looked pretty good! It’s unbelievable. It didn’t start really coming off until I took it off. In the picture you can see a little wear at the ends of my nails and around the cuticles, where I picked at it. Also, the color - Perfect Posture, was a little too shockingly white-ish purple (Halloweenie, according to my son and friends), so I mixed in a little of a mauve Essie color called Take Me To Thread, also an Essie gel couture color. Other than prep my nails really well, the only other thing I did was add an extra topcoat on day three, thinking I might be able to get four or five days out of it. I never imagined I would get 10 days! No lie, people. This stuff is a game changer. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, I’m wearing polish again. My new favorite right now is a color called Tassel Free. Also including a picture of that on day 3 after application. (No 2nd topcoat).

This is fine, but less pink than the ballet slippers color I'm used to. This one is more white and, curiously, doesn't have the same number as the usual ballet slippers (unless they changed it recently). Still, fresh polish, so does the job.

LOVE #139- Matier of Fiction🤍. Okay so at first i was like $9 for a nail polish is crazy but i gave it a try (especially cause i’ve had bad experiences with products from this brand being expired). Anyways so I tried it. 1st coat was UGLY, i let it air dry with a fan for 5 minutes, then applied 2nd coat, looked beautiful but still needed a little more (also let it dry for 5 minutes). Then i did a 3rd coat and let it dry for 10 minutes (i was also fanning it). And then added a Top Coat from Essie brand and it looked AMAZING. I don’t know how to do my nails but these were personally my best and i’m so happy with the results. I was scared it wouldn’t turn out good, the point is doing thin coats and waiting a good amount of time between the coats. Give it a try, I love it ! (Pictures show 1 coat -3 coat (pic outside looks way diff) and a video of how the color looks inside)

I am beyond impressed with this product! I work in a lab setting where I am constantly washing my hands and taking my gloves on and off (I can go through a full box of gloves in a week), so only gel manicures have ever lasted more than one week. I am avoiding gel UV technology but still want a long lasting manicure. After all the positive reviews, I decided to try this product. This nail polish is absolutely worth the hype! It is so incredibly smooth and glossy, and looks like a professional UV manicure. And most importantly, the nail polish has not chipped at all! I do agree that the consistency is a bit thicker than regular nail polish, but the results are worth it.

Fun gift idea for those who love the color green!
