Gel Couture Nail Polish, Long Lasting Purple Nail Polish, Vegan, Strut With It, 0.46 fl oz

Updated 6/28/26 to add an image of New Highs with and without camera flash - it's the perfect summer blue. Rich, vibrant and very striking. I used three thin coats. Two gave good coverage but three gave me the depth and saturation I was looking for. I topped it with Step 2 Gel Couture top coat. I continue to be very impressed by this polish. It wears very well and the color choices for the most part are great. I wish the polish colors could all be reviewed separately because each is very different, but it's not allowed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Original four star review of Strut With It - On my skin tone, 'Strut With It' is a beautiful blue based bright, mid-toned purple. It goes on smoothly and it looks good in two coats. I also used one coat of the step 2 Gel Couture top coat. Definitely don't skip that step. I have several colors in the Gel Couture line. It's so convenient to not have to use a base coat. I change my polish every 5 days, so I can't speak to durability beyond that, but it usually always still looks great whenever I remove one color to paint on the next one.

I’ve never had long beautiful nails and my hands are naturally short// stubby. With that, I’m proud of how the colors make my nails look. Pro Tip: 0. Pre-wipe with polish remover 1. Push cuticles 2. Start with thin layers 3. Apply top coat :dry a little bit: 4. Go over with another thin layer for more opaque color :dry a little bit: 5. Apply top coat again for finish It helps that that top coat is quick dry// no UV cure required. Also, beautiful shine !! That’s the wonders of gel manicure!! It’s long lasting (color//high shine), more durable (less likely to chip) and feels more high quality . The odor for this isn’t as harsh as some other nail polish brands I tried which is a lot.

The Essie Gel Couture is one of my most reliable nail polishes for longevity. I use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of top coat. My manicure lasts 7 days with no chipping. The color is still bright and my nails are stills shiny after 7 days. The polish dries quickly with good coverage after 2 applications. This is a nice neutral color good for all seasons.

Love it perfect for Halloween month

Easy to apply and does have the look of gel nail polish. The color is a beautiful Dark purple which I feels like matched the description, though I did three coats. I have had the polish on with the top coat for about a week and it’s barely starting to chip in some places. I’m rough on my hands so I’m impressed with the quality and longevity of the product. I think for a quick home manicure, it’s great value.

I love the color and the thickness of the polish. You have to apply twice to get the right color, but it dries quick so you don't need a lot of skill to apply it neatly.

Great color. Lasts for 7-8 days!

This nail polish doesn’t live up to the reviews that the company says. It doesn’t last a few weeks. It almost chipped w/in a few days. The color goes on half decent that turns a real dark blue. Way darker than what the bottle looks like. I wanted to try it out but wish I didn’t now. I use Sally Hansen gels that don’t need the led lamp & keeps it color for weeks & weeks . Always buy Sally Hansen. You won’t be disappointed.

VERY NICE COLOR

I apply a thin base coat and allow it to dry, followed by a thin coat of Essie Gel polish. I then wait approximately one hour before applying the second coat. The issue arises after the second coat is applied, as the polish remains soft throughout the entire day. Any contact leaves visible marks, and even something as simple as removing a card from my wallet can cause the polish to slide off completely. The polish does not fully harden until the following day, which is an unreasonably long drying time. Applying only one coat is not a viable option, as it results in a streaky finish with insufficient opacity.

Hermoso el color

El mejor esmalte que he comprado!
