Hi everyone! I'm really excited for today's post, I've always wanted to try the Essie Gel Couture line, not only for their super fun bottles but because they promise to deliver long wear and gel like shine without the need of a UV lamp or the hard removal after. The line has 50+ shades to choose from and you don't need a base coat, only the color and their platinum grade finish Top Coat. All polishes have a wide arched brush that allow you to get as close to your cuticles without drowning them in polish and also the stem of the brush is twisted as the bottles which I though was so unique and amazing. Their Enchanted collection is a line of 6 polishes with soft and sweet shades for spring. I love them all at first sight event though I was a little hesitant about Princess Charming cause those tones don't look good on my skin tone. Check them out below. You can get them at www.essie.com/gel-couture Daring Damsel: This is a metallic champagne gold, the formula was great, I only needed two coats for full coverage and the brush strokes aren't all that obvious. Be careful not to shake the bottle too much or you might get bubbles during the application. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Matter of Fiction This is the perfect pale pink for a barely there mani, it reminds me a lot of ballet slippers, the formula was great, a bit sheet like these polishes usually are but the coverage was great with 3 coats. Pics below are 3 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Princess Charming Initially I though this was a pink for my mom or my grandma, a little dated. I did wore it for a couple of days and it grew on my, only concern is that it might not be right for my skin tone. Other than than is a perfect shade, application went smooth as butter and it didn't chip at all. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. ** These polishes were sent to me compliments of Essie as part of the #PreenMeVIP program. All posts and comments reflect my own opinion after trying the polishes. Thank you for reading! |
