Welcome back to Glossies Made Me Do It with me, Ashley, and Erika! Remember: this is a link-up now so please take part with us. The idea is that you find something – anything at all – in a magazine that you want to share with us. A new recipe, a book to read, a makeup product to try, etc. The link up this month is open until April 15th! For the future, please note that these go live the first Friday of every month!
This month I went with the April 2017 issue of Glamour Magazine (it has Chrissy Teigen on the cover). I added the Essie nail polish that I will be featuring on top of the magazine. In general, this was a great issue and I would recommend if you’re looking for lots of beauty items to try!
This issue includes a whole section showcasing the 2017 Beauty Awards and this nail polish from Essie was included. It’s called Essie Gel Couture and when using this polish with the top coat, you get a really nice gel coat without having to use a special light. I’ve only been wearing it for a few days but so far, so good! It looks great!
To save a little money, I got this box from Target that included a really cute Essie polish color PLUS the top coat. Now that I have the top coat, I can go and buy more individual colors, which I definitely will! I love this color because it’s bright and fun – perfect for the warmer months. I’d love some other options too though. I don’t do my nails all the time, but I might start doing it more often. While it’s only been a few days, my nails look exactly the same. It’s supposed to last up to 14 days so I’ll have to do an update next month.
Here’s a final look! Don’t my nails look awesome? The picture is a little dark, but it’s pretty accurate on what the color looks like! It’s bright, smooth, and feels and looks great. This is a polish I’ve heard of for awhile and been meaning to try – I love the regular Essie polish -but when I saw it featured in the Beauty Awards in Glamour, I knew this link-up would be a great time to finally try it out! I’m so glad I did.
What do you think? Are you going to try Essie Gel Couture?
Think about linking up with us this month or next!

I love that color! I wish I could wear orange-y shades, but I can barely pull off the cooler toned reds. :p Your nails look fab!
I love the nail polish color Lauren. Is this one of the gel types that doesn't chip?
the color is really beautiful
Love the color!
I love Essie nailpolish!! This is a lovely color!

Thanks so much for sharing! That color is GORGEOUS on you! I've never heard of their new Gel Couture line, but I've been meaning to pick up a top coat so will be on the lookout 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend, momma! XOXO
As much as I love nail polish and have quite the collection, I've yet to try out Essie. They have some truly gorgeous colors, though, and I've heard great things about the formulation. The color you choose is so pretty! Very springy.
I rarely paint my nails. I don't know just don't get around to it. I do like the colors. Now I want to paint my nails.
I've not tried a gel polish yet, I need to if they last as long as they say! This is a great idea for a link up 🙂

What a pretty color! It's perfect for spring 🙂
Oh I love that color!! Bright and reminds me of spring. Hope it lasts as long as it says it does because it looks great!
Ooh I love this color on you girl – it's so perfect for summer!

Hey, it's Chrissy Teigen! I think she is hilarious, and I adore her family. That nail polish bottle is so cool, I love the shape! The polish is also pretty great. 😉 Lovely post!
Have a wonderful weekend. =)

PRETTY! I never paint my fingers because they chip too easily and I am too lazy, BUT I would absolutely paint my toenails this color! SO perfect for summertime, and I could just see them at the pool, all fancy! Thanks for sharing!!
Love that nail polish color. Essie is always my go to!! Happy Saturday!
I love Essie nail polish, and I really like the idea of getting the gel look without going through all the steps to get it! It's also such a pain to get off! I like that color, very nice for spring!
Very pretty! I don't have nails worth painting though lol
For What It's Worth
I love Essie polish but have never tried their gel line before. Such pretty colors though!!
I absolutely love the colour! Will have to try the Essie Polish!
My polish always chips after a few days so I need to try this! The color is lovely!

This is such a great series. I love Essie and thing the Gel is great. I really do feel it lasts. There are some great colors and once you start, you become addicted.
Your nails look great. I think it is great that the polish seems to be holding up so well. Sounds like a good deal! Glad you read about it in the magazine. 🙂

I haven't heard of that polish but now I want to try it because that color is great! Is it hard to get the polish off?
I have this, but in a pale pink! It really does stay on really well! Especially for all of the DIY/crafting I do! Lol!
