Essie Gel Couture Gala-vanting

I do my nails and toes myself. Toe polish always lasts awhile, even regular one but always had chips second day on hands. This polish is awesome! No chips, looks nice all week long! Now, it does get like cracks but I use matte finish so you can see them only when you stare at your nails. I had dark red essie couture. 2 coats, no base, then matte finish. It surely lasts. I tried putting refresh coat on and then matte finish but that only lasts another day or two, cracks more so not too good. Also tried just covering it with matte after a week but it also lasts about a day and then cracks come through again. But 1 week for me works vs doing gel. This one comes off with regular polish remover. I used this one twice so far and 1 of these times I was in the pool half a week so results still were the same.

Best nail polish I ever had. They last a long time.

Gala-vanting is a truly iconic shade of brick red that compliments virtually every skin tone. Easy-to-apply and stays shiny for over a week—longer if you apply a second layer of the gel couture top coat after a few days. Be aware that it is actually about a half a shade darker when applied than the color looks like in the bottle.

Please ignore the terrible job I did on my nails, I haven't gone back and fixed them up! But WOW, this polish is AMAZING! I LOVE it so much! I never write reviews but I had to, because this is the best nail polish I've ever used in my life. It's smooth, high shine, and so forgiving! The brush itself is shaped so that you can get even coverage without having to go back over it a million times. The color is a beautiful red wine color. I will absolutely be getting this in more colors! I highly recommend getting the top coat with it! It seals it beautifully, giving you the salon look from home! It also dries so quickly without having to use heat! Love it!

Just no. Peels off same day even with proper prep and nail dehydration. Save your money.

Fantastic color with long lasting results as promised. The company got the polish to me unbelievably quick. Great customer service!

This is a beautiful color! Love it! The color is exactly as pictured

Last for a long time without chipping. . Goes on so smoothly and evenly. My favorite brand.

Sehr schöne Farbe, nur leider hält sie gerade mal einen Tag, dann sind erste Farbsplitter zu sehen. Bin ich von essie leider gar nicht gewohnt.

A lovely deep red, which is great for the winter months.Easy to apply and no UV lamp required.

Good quality.

I like colour

Bought Gala venting colour and top coat. Unfortunately they don't last even one day. Despite some good reviews I will not recommend them.
