EssieGEL COUTURE SIGNTRE SMIL

I am so happy I found this product! I have been using SH Miracle Gel since it came out and even though I liked it better than regular nail polish I was still incredibly frustrated with the durability of that product. Then I happened upon Essie's version with this product and have found it to be a big step up. It withstands a heck of a lot more abuse than SH, and does not peel or dull in shine like SH over the course of a week. I do apply 2 coats of the base color coat per instructions, but then I also add TWO layers of top coat, which I think is a secret to the longevity as well as getting it to dry faster (I tried that with SH as well, but it only made the gel peel off by weeks end). Once I am done with that 4th coat of polish I only wait about 10 minutes before I am off doing my normal activities. I do give each of those color coats 15 mins to dry though (they take longer) before moving on to the top coat (which dries much faster and non-tacky). I am getting a solid week and a half out of my nails using this method and even then they don't look bad. Side note: I also noticed that there is no color bleeding going on in my top coat bottle (SH was horrible about that), so as a result the polish consistency is staying the same and I am actually using the bottle until the brush can't reach the paint!!

The color is bright and summery. Love it!

This polish is very long-wearing and durable. Loved the color shade as well. It is an opaque bright coral color that’s perfect for summer!

Wend on great , no streaks nice overall quality and durability……EXCEPT I ORDERED 2 bottles and only got 1.

Ordered Essie gel Signature Smile. It was a bit watery. Needed to put on 3 coats for ok coverage. Liked the color
