Glossies Made Me Do It: Essie Gel Couture

Posted April 7, 2017 by shooting in Uncategorized / 30 Comments

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!

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!

  4. 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!

    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. 🙂

  6. 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!
