Essie Nail Polish Set Daisy Jones & The Six Inspired - Gel-Like Shine

In this review of the Essie Nail Polish Set inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six, the bottom line is simple: this duo plus top coat is for anyone who wants longwear color with a salon-like, gel finish without UV lights. The set pairs two complementary shades, Cut Loose (muted blue) and Invest In Style (mid-toned green), with a high-shine top coat to create floral or rock-inspired nail art. The main reason to buy is the combination of durable, chip-resistant color and an easy two-step application that delivers a glossy, gel-like look at home.

Key Features

• Gel-like high shine: The included top coat gives a mirror finish that mimics a gel manicure without any UV lamp required.
• Longwear formula: Both cream polishes are formulated to resist chips and fading for several days of wear.
• Two-step ease: Apply two coats of the color and finish with the Gel Couture Top Coat for quick, consistent results.
• Brush design: The patented swirl-stem and curve-hugging brush helps lay down even coverage and precise application on the nail.
• Color pairing: The set contains a mid-toned green with blue undertones and a muted blue with yellow-gray undertones that work well together for floral or statement looks.

Who It's For

This set is ideal for people who want a salon-quality finish at home and enjoy creating nail art or coordinated looks. The durable, gel-like shine and easy application suit users who value longevity and polish that dries relatively quickly for everyday wear.

It is less appropriate for someone who needs extremely long-lasting gel wear requiring a UV cure, or for users who prefer purely sheer or glitter finishes, since these are cream, opaque shades intended for bold color and design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable, chip-resistant color that customers say lasts up to about a week.
• High-shine top coat creates a salon-like gel appearance without a lamp.
• Easy two-step routine and a brush that improves application precision.
• Color duo works well for floral and edgy nail designs.

Cons

• Not a true cured gel system, so extreme multi-week wear of hard gels is not expected.
• Colors are cream finishes, so fans of sheer or glitter textures should look elsewhere.
