The long-lasting top coat from the essie gel couture line offers salon gel quality for home use, without the need for UV light. With the simple two-step system, perfect nails are created - just like with gel nail polish: In the first step, apply the nail polish. In the second step, use the gel couture top coat as a top layer to give the nails the ultimate gel shine. The application is possible without a UV lamp. The long-lasting essie nail polish also provides reliable hold and lasts up to 15 days on the fingernails. Additionally, it can be removed just as easily as regular nail polish.
