There’s one way to feel put together and professional on a day-to-day basis, and that’s a nice, shiny, long-lasting manicure.
But with gel manicures exposing the tops of your hands to potentially damaging rays and UV lights, the once go-to mani for many is becoming a thing of the past.
Now, you can get the same lasting, impressive finish at home without any of the damage, all via a $17.99 buy from Amazon.

Essie’s Gel Couture Nail Varnish ($17.99 each) promises as many as 12 days of luxurious, salon-quality nails with “impeccable shine”.
And even better, this comes without any of the lasting damage you get with a gel manicure.
The Essie Gel Couture Nail Varnishes use no UV lamps, no bulky equipment and they dry in record quick time.
They give the appearance of a perfect gel manicure, but you can remove it quickly and easily at home with regular nail varnish remover.
There are many shades to choose from.
But the Sheer Fantasy colour paired with the Top Coat (also $17.99) will give you a pretty pastel pink colour that is reminiscent of Hailey Bieber’s glazed doughnut nails.
Simply swipe on two coats and add a clear top coat from the set to ensure a lasting finish.
Reviews online for the Essie polishes are glowing, where shoppers have described it as “holy grail” and “beautiful”.
“Such a nice everyday colour, your natural nails but ‘better’. Dries super quickly too and actually has a slight gel feel to it. Only complaint is you don’t want more than two coats as it gets a bit streaky being a sheer product,” one shopper wrote.
“So glad this nail polish top coat was recommended. I’m amazed how long it lasts,” another added.
A third said: “The wide brush makes application so much easier and smooth. Love the colour. Needs two coats for best look”.
