[@hopeguidry7023]

I've used a few of these polishes and top coat...I'm a cna and wash my hands A LOT throughout the day and they still last about two weeks!!

[@Theebre]

I love these polishes. We use them in the salon I work at and the formula is so beautiful and it’s so easy to work with! My favorite polish hands down!

[@lemmy___]

I had Take Me To Thread on once and it lasted about two weeks before it started chipping! Also that top coat works with nearly any kind of polish, so I literally use it for everyrhing!

[@cyntroverted]

I use it for all other polishes 💞

[@elizabethgrace7796]

I love the topcoat. I use it will all my polishes now I haven't found one that it doesn't work with yet (I stick to Essie and OPI polishes). I do however always use base coat just because my nails get weak and break easy.

[@GriethDay]

I love your honest reviews. You look at the polishes practically and aesthetically, which I appreciate.

[@suzbrh]

I can honestly say that I have never used Essie. But the Take Me To Thread is absolutely stunning! A must have for sure! Keep the swatch reviews coming!

[@sharnamajor]

I LOVE that you reply to your followers 😍😍😍 you just have a beautiful vibe about everything you do ❤

[@aquariaaustin2077]

Going on 4 years now, and I still love Love LOVE the top coat. I went through a bottle in something like 2.5 months. Love the brush, love that swirly wand too. Makes application a breeze.

[@patriciatreslove4449]

Happy Thanks Giving Kelli, and all your fans, may you all be blessed. Love from Scotland

[@bluejaks]

I love this line from Essie. I can usually get at least a week of wear from normal polishes and this line lasts even longer for me with no chipping. They have a lot of great colors and the top coat and brush size are both awesome!

[@kleighmarie]

I’m pretty sure I could never LOVE this video enough! Thank you for reviewing these and for doing so with an open mind - so many channels on here do not, at least in my opinion. I LOVE this line! Take Me to Thread is my favorite as well! I initially wasn’t sure I would like it, but I fell in love with it and got it in August when I started my new teaching job. I also have Bubbles Only and Caviar Bar - again, LOVE them! ♥️ Also, I really hope you do another hair vlog! ♥️

[@ehub7804]

I love how these nail polish brands are marking these bigger brushes! I love take me to thread! Super pretty and great for winter. Also you should definitely do some Christmas nail art with these I think you could come up with such a pretty design for Christmas!

[@blucreeper5098]

Oooh! I can’t wait to see what color you dyed your hair in. I’m gonna have my hair dyed again pretty soon. I’m soo excited! As for the polishes, I might consider trying the topcoat. Great video!

[@kimhicks1571]

I just ordered Make The Cut! Thanks for swatching these for us. I’m excited to see what you do with your hair 😀

[@Britishpandy77]

Really this line! I have so many of them! Thanks for reviewing them. Love your vids Kelli!

[@joangentile2731]

Beautiful colors!! I love the white color for the summer! It looks great with a tan!! I'm tan most of the year living in Houston. I wear sunscreen everyday because of the sun. My dermatologist told me to use Neutrogena sunscreen, SPF 55, on my face. I'm 66 yeas old. I already have some dark spots on my face from the sun and menopause. She recommended using sunscreen everyday, even on cloudy days, since the sun rays can shine through the clouds. I also use SPF 30 or higher on my body, whenever I'm in in the sun, which is usually everyday down here. I love white nail polish. It looks great with everything!! Thank you, Kelli, for showing us this video! I appreciate it!! ;)

[@helencb9940]

Great video Kelli! I love the Essie gel couture line! I don't wear polish for more than a day so I can't speak for the wear time, but I love everything about those polishes! Especially the bottle shape! One of my favourite Gel Couture is Make the Cut! I love that colour it is so great for work and interviews and Winter time in general! I would love to see a vlog of you getting your hair done again :)

[@vickinoble4744]

I have Princess Charming and LOVE it. Perfect neutral pinky nude. Gorgeous! And I definitely NEED Sheer Fantasy and the 2 reds. Wooo! As for the Gel Couture in general...I absolutely LOVE it. I have oily skin so my nail beds are oily; which makes it difficult to keep nail polish on for more than a few days before it begins to lift or peel. This polish is perfect! I get about 7 days using it. But...I do use my Orly Bonder as a base, if you can even call it that. It just makes my nails slightly tacky to grip the polish.

[@marshayelton9783]

I don't have oily skin, but if I use a polish that requires over 2 coats, sometimes even one (plus base & top coat) my polish will pop off in a solid piece. It looks like press on nails! Even using dehydrator!

[@amysuewest3826]

I love that blue. It's a beautiful color. Please take us along when you get your hair dyed. It was so much fun last time. :)

[@shannelashford4854]

Thanks for doing this review Kelli. I've been wanting to try the gel contours but haven't yet.

[@jewelzofthasea]

This video was very helpful bc i own 3of these n i had no idea not to use a base coat. Thanks for letting me know girl😍

[@MargieM10]

This looks a lot better than their regular polish. Every Essie I've tried is streaky AF. This looks like it levels out nicely. Would love to know how it wears. Thanks for the review!

[@butterdrops]

I've been curious about Essie's Gel but never tried it. After watching your review I am for sure going to try it now.

[@prug2177]

You have perfect nails, and your application of the polishes is PERFECT!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much!!

[@heatherc301]

Oh mann. Love these. Cannot wait to get at least 3 of them. Take me to thread is a for sure must own!! Please take us along on your next hair journey. Maybe something with purples??

[@ThatFangirlJenn]

I’m so glad you did this review! I’ve been looking at them thinking about trying them and I think I will! Happy Thanksgiving Kelli!

Monica Or white glitter tips ooh and maybe white tips with glittery white flakes as a topper 😍☺️

[@lynnmunday4940]

I’ve not had a good experience with Essie before, really too sheer and 3 coats never covered, so stopped using Essie. But now! Essie Gel Couture look really good. I agree they do a lot of good work appropriate colours or visiting Great Aunt Prue. Lol. Caviar Bar is an on trend navy colour at the moment, everything’s navy blue. Be great to follow a hair colour blog, always fascinated me how hairdressers achieve that look. x

[@TheJulala1979]

I have quite a few of these! In general I find the formula is usually excellent and they are very shiny. The shape of the brush stem is great as you don't end up with too much polish running down the brush. I also like the topcoat, although I find it takes longer to dry fully than my regular QDTC.

[@sierra734]

These pinks are so beautiful I own a lot of these and the Gel Couture top coat is my Favorite it really lasts !

[@pinkpolly88]

I loved your hair pink - it suited you so well, and I used to gave pink hair, so it's a favourite.

[@lilbit8183]

As always,I love your swatch and reviews! One of the things I love the most is that you only swatch one nail! I'm unfortunately impatient so when I come across bloggers who will paint there whole hand with every layer I get bored and move on. So keep up your awesomeness and I would love to see another color vlog!! And lastly I've never used this line y Essie but I'm definitely intrigued to!!.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha yeah I definitely feel the same way, I like swatches to be quick and to the point! I'm glad you enjoy my content :)

[@sjgates1925]

I just recently bought one of these polishes. Have not tried yet. I think a new color sounds fun...i would love to see a "standard" color on you....but....your hair..your way..cannot wait to see what you choose. So pretty- whatever will look great!

[@nluther22]

Huge fan of these Essie polishes. I picked up a bottle at Marshall’s for cheap and went back to get more. I love the wide brushes and the formula, and the polish lasts a long time without chipping🙌🏼

[@KelliMarissa]

That's awesome to hear, I haven't tried it for long wear but I've heard great things!!

[@AmyJustGotHere]

Bubbles only was so cute, you should do nail art with the colours for sure. I would love to see a blog of your hair colour. Ily😃❤️

[@thatsandichic]

Thanks for sharing these. I'm definitely going to give these a try. Those reds were gorgeous!

Hi Kelli, Of all the (No lamp needed) gel polishes this is my fav and it really does last a long time without chipping!!

[@KelliMarissa]

It really impressed me!

[@laurabolen4809]

Loved both purply colors and the navy! Will have to try.

[@arelitorres8966]

I'm really interested in trying this polishes, they look beautiful!! Please vlog the color change! Also still waiting for the eyeliner 101, hopefully you'll do it soon!

[@justbreathe3833]

Hey Kelli! Thanks for the essie gel couture swatches. So helpful! Beautiful colors. I 'd love to see how you like the Zoya Naked Manicure set! Wonder if you could possibly do swatches for those?? I also second the french manicure nail art- Christmas edition. Super fun!!!

[@tmart4044]

I feel like you’ve been looking over my shoulder at Ulta. 😂. I was looking at this line when I was checking out China Glaze. I wasn’t sure how this Essie line would work or if it was worth the price. Can’t thank you enough for this video. 👍

[@Kelly-gz5ju]

I was just looking at these the other day, but opted for the regular polish since I didn’t know what all the gel type involved. I will def try these out! Fave is Pinned Up!

[@krissa5532]

Wow these are like the perfect polish. I NEED that Take me to the Thread shade. They're all gorgeous though. You should definetly do a video trying these with nail art!

[@Aparna912]

Great swatch video Kelli! Plz plz plz make a tutorial for the french manicure with pre-show jitters and sheer fantasy!

[@beckyschmidt8347]

I was on the fence about trying this line, but I might give it a go now. I'd be super worried about staining and I'm totally impressed those reds didn't! Caviar Bar, though?! OMG! I'm actually wearing an actual gel polish in a suuuuuuper similar color. I LOVE a good navy. 😍😍😍

[@jessica232]

I think you look great in whatever toned hair color and would love to see a vlog when you get it done. Maybe orange!

[@monvia88]

I love these polishes! I even bought some for my mom and she loves them

[@christophercolson4824]

We saw these I think at an Ulta store and thought the bottle shape was neat. Loved the color selections but saw the word gel and didn't get any so now we gonna them since no lamp is needed. Great video as always.

[@MoonGoddess1371]

I love your nail art so I will ALWAYS vote yes on that!!!

[@emilypope8662]

Awe! I love the blue! I would love another hair vlog. I think you should do and warm toned purple (does that make sense?) like a pink that is closer to purple

[@joseyschaub7124]

love the shape of the brush!

[@kittykattss]

I've been using these for a long time. When I developed a severe allergy to gel polish I made it my mission to find a good quality polish with the gel like shine which would also last about a week! These definitely came top of all the gel like brands I've tried. Only down side for me is the colour choice. I'd love to see some brights for the summer!

[@ginaNC]

Thank you for this video....very useful !!! Beautiful nails and beautiful colors.😍😍😍😍

[@KelliMarissa]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@SH-wk6po]

Oh this video highlights something that's always bugged me, navy blue polish that just looks black!! Kelli would you consider doing a dedicated video of the best polishes that actually look navy blue? I'm going to guess that all of your fave ones you've probably already filmed swatches of, so I'd love to see a compilation. 💙💙 Definitely keen to check out Caviar Bar for myself.

[@JASR360]

I love the collection! Minus the newest "Concrete" Essie collection that came out, the Fall and Winter 2018 Collections have been SO GOOD! I'm surprised at how well the formulas have been and I love the new brush! ... For your hair, I would go for a nice warm Red colour on both sides. I think it would go well for Fall and Winter.

[@Mineminemine8]

Ok, you got me! I thought you were really doing a gel video! I only wear OPI gel on my fingers, and regular Essie or OPI on my toes, but I want to try Caviar Bar now.

[@Sarappreciates]

I like the hair, but warmer tones might be fun too. Thanks for this review. My nails are peeling like insanity since I started chemotherapy a couple years ago, so I've been gluing press-on nails over them, trying to see if these no-UV-lamps-required "gel" polishes really work to avoid the UV cancer risks. So far this brand seems like it might be the answer to my wishes! Thank you!!

[@monicabarry7546]

I LOVE the Gel Couture top coat! I use the top coat with lots of other brands besides Essie too!

[@susanmiller4159]

First, I love your voice. It is so soothing which is why I checked in even though this was Essie. The first “expensive” bottle of nail polish I ever tried was Essie and it was streaky and blah. So I said no more. Since then exploring gels then other brands I’ve since changed my mind. Maybe I’ll give Essie another try. All in good fun: you talk about wearing conservative nail colors for work yet your hair is very colorful 🌈. Luckily I work from home so I can get away with it but how does that work out for you? Would love to see a hair color vlog. I like your color creativity and would enjoy the inspiration. ❤️

I’ve been using the Essie Gel Couture line for over a year now. Love the polishes and have a few that you featured today and a few more that weren’t mentioned today. I always use my Orly Bonder base coat. Can’t bring myself to wear polish without base coat!!. I also use the Essie GC top coat as my go to top coat for any polish and it works very very well. Unfortunately we don’t get the full colour range in Australia/New Zealand.

I'm obsessed with the Essie Gel Couture line! I have weird nails and all polishes peel off in a day or two, but not this line! I got rid of all my polish and only use Gel Couture! I have ALL the colors!! And it lasts over a week for me! I have had a teal color (On The Risers) stain my nail, but it was the only one.

I'd go light purple to dark purple ombré, but the old (young version) me would do it. Bad taste with Essie a few years ago, so i doubt I'd try these. But it'll he interesting to see some nail art. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!

[@Mad_Rian]

Please take us to the salon with you! I love those kinds of videos! Have you tried the Sally Hansen gel polish that also has a no-light top coat? How did they compare to Essie's? I've tried two colours of the Sally Hanson one and I was really disappointed. My nails came out nice and shiny, but the colours where so diluted that I couldn't get the effect I wanted, even after 3 or 4 coats!

[@aprilsmith3884]

I was going to the salon for acrylic nails. Then started using Dazzle Dry at home. Then gel which I ruined my nails. When I do my nails in the evening it’s hard to get them dry on time before bed. What is your experience with the gel couture? Do you need to be very careful for a couple hours after painting your nails? I really like the look of that polish.
