Essie in 40 Fairy Tailor

I really like Essie and I have exclusively used this brand of polish for a few years. When I saw the new gel couture line I was interested. Polish chips quickly on me so I hoped this one would lasts a little bit longer.

What do I think
I really do enjoy the colour I think it is very cute. I do not feel the colour stays that much better than the normal Essie polishes

I think the colour is cute, it stays about as well as other polishes on me but I think the colour is brilliant. I do enjoy it, I think it is a good deal if you can get a colour and the topcoat together.
