Essie Gel Setter

Essie Gel Setter had the ultimate test – over Chanel Rouge Noir. While this isn’t the most perfect manicure of my life (especially when it’s magnified – it looked a lot better in real size!) it does show how incredibly shiny Essie Gel Setter is. By the name, you’ll probably guess that it’s a gel like coating for nails, but it’s also a quick dry – I never thought that Seche Vite could be replaced from my list of absolute essentials, but it is now! There’s not a whole lot more to say on it – it’s super, super shiny and dries your mani quickly – doing everything it’s claiming to do. It’s also cheaper than Seche at £9.99 HERE.

I’ve also been using on and off the Rescue RXx by CND which I really think has made a difference to the condition of my nails. Because my nails are often painted, I haven’t been able to have an uninterupted run at it, instead, using it over weekends and cutting back on how often I have painted nails in the week over a period of time. It’s a Keratin protein treatment with jojoba oil (not vegan friendly as the keratin comes from sheep’s wool), but if your nails are dry or peeling it’s a high recommend from me.

A highly effective new treatment from CND that repairs damaged nails with the power of Keratin protein and moisturizing jojoba oil. You can find a store locator HERE but I’ve spotted it on Amazon.

    I’ve been using Rescue RXX after ordering it when you mentioned it last. It’s stopped my nails peeling completely – and if I’m honest I haven’t been as vigilant as I should’ve been either. Thanks for introducing me to it!

    Thanks for the RXX tip! How would you say the essie compares to the Bourjois https://britishbeautyblogger.com/article/bourjois-3d-gel-top-coat/ ?

      rather similar, but Essie somehow a bit sleeker in application, although both have a big brush x

  3. The speed that Seche Vite dries at seems to ‘shrink’ the varnish on me, leading to more chipping than I am happy with…how would you say this one compares? I have more top coats than seems reasonable and I’m not really happy with any of them!

      Honestly, for me – no shrinkage..

  4. Oh my, will be picking up this Essie top coat immediately- always obsessed with finding the ultimate!

    I just picked up the Essie topcoat today, although the salesgirl insisted it would only work over Essie brand nail varnishes (as stated on bottle!); I told her that was just marketing & where was the scientific proof behind that…..!!
