Satin Finish and Quick Drying

This product was different. I wouldn't really say that it is matte, more of a satin finish which was nice. I am terrible at painting my own nails and the matte top coat erased a world mistakes (that I made) applying gel paint that I got with the matte top coat (meant to work with the top coat). I di...

I love, love this nail color set I got the mate top coat along with a berry/fuchsia nail polish color and OMG it is absolutely beautiful. One coat is enough and it dries up fast. My girls absolutely loved it and so did I.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I enjoy that this gives a nice matte finish. however, the polish takes a while to dry and it chips very easily.

I love the look of this bottle, it is elegant and unique. I am not so sure that it can be used with nail polish that is not the same brand tho.. I think that was my mistake. I really liked the application of the matte top coat and thought the after product was adorablely matte but it didn't dry properly and messed up within the first day.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

The matte effect makes your mani look more edgy and it just a change from shiny manicures. I'm excited to try more colors. I highly recommend if you like to switch it up and try new things.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I hate sitting and waiting in overpriced nail salons so this polish is a dream come true. I wasn't thrilled the last few times and realized it was because I decided to use a base coat from another company. I will stick with using the product as instructed :)

I've always struggled with clear coats not making my polish last but with this Essie gel clear coat it goes on smooth looks like a gel but lasts so much longer and it easy to take off. My favorite clear coat product!

This gel top coat works very well! It is matte so it doesn't leave your nails looking super shiny, rather just simple and classy. My mom was excited to try it and seemed to like it as well.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I'm a huge fan of essie polishes in general so i'm glad i got this top coat. This makes my color polishes stay on a lot longer and gives it a matte finish. Would recommend if you want your polishes to last!
