I hauled
the Essence Gel-Look Plumping Top Coat in a recent post. I was intrigued by the claims and
figured even if it didn’t provide a “gel-look,” it would be worth the price if
it was a decent regular top coat. You can get it for $2.99 at Ulta.
Claims:
- XXXL Volume
- Plumped up, ultra-glossy nails
- Long-lasting manicure
The formula
of this top coat does seem thicker than a normal top coat; however, it was not
difficult to apply. It applies with the ease of a normal top coat. I topped one
of my hands with the Essence Gel-Look Plumping Top Coat and my other hand with
a regular top coat to compare the difference. I will admit that I have never had a
gel manicure, but I get the general idea of what they look like.
The Essence
Gel-Look did not seem to add any extra volume to my nails (maybe a tiny bit,
but nothing that was very noticeable). My nails that had the Essence Gel-Look
on them did look shinier than my nails with the regular top coat. both sets of
nails had a similar wear time before the polish started to chip (3-4 days).
Overall, I
would recommend this product if you like your nails to look very shiny. Maybe
if you put a bunch of product on then you will get more of a gel look. It’s a
decent top coat whether or not there is added volume. I’ve been impressed with
the Essence products I’ve used so far, and they are so affordable which is always a plus!
