Great neutral
Love this polish. Smooth, everyday neutral. I used 3 coats and 2 of top coat. Smooth application and fast drying. I gave 4 stars because it became a little more baby doll pink than had hoped with third coat.

Favorite sheer
I do 3 layers of color and two layers of top coat with this one. Looks so glassy and dries perfectly. My favorite go-to for work. Sheers are my favorite polish. Looks so squishy and the very light pink color is flattering on many skin tones. Would love a more white version of this one for a marshmallow vibe.

Terrible
Maybe if you apply it with the top coat in the morning and then don’t touch anything else FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, your manicure will still look good. The polish got all mushed overnight, despite giving it 3 hours to set. Also this color needs a minimum of 3 coats to not be completely translucent on the nail.

Hi there Nasha… We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. The Gel Couture longwear colors should take about 5 minutes to dry. The color Sheer Fantasy should be a sheer pink nail polish. However, Gel Couture is also available in opaque pinks like the shade Matter of Fiction. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET
Perfect sheer nude for cool toned complexions
Nude shades are usually too warm on me. Even Fairy Tailor is a too warm. This shade is perfectly “my nails but better” with just 1 coat. And the formula has excellent durability. I can get a whole week without chips, peeling, or scratches. The brush shape even lets clumsy me get a near perfect polish even with my non-dominant hand.

The PERFECT sheer polish!
I have Sheer Fantasy and Fairy Tailor in the gel line, and love both; but Fairy Tailor is more peach and opaque than this shade. Sheer Fantasy is a truly sheer polish (no shimmer) with a “your nails but better” look that’s absolutely perfect for everyday wear. It looks great on long nails in particular. One coat is barely visible, but two coats is enough to give the impression of a very lightly pink French manicure (but it’s not opaque enough to hide stains or imperfections in the nail, so be aware). It’s such a classic look, perfect for a Grace Kelly style outfit. If you don’t need color with your outfit, and just want to look like you were born with perfect nails, this is your shade. It’s quite similar to Mademoiselle from the regular Essie line, with a very faint milkiness after two coats. Gorgeous. Note: I have cool olive skin.

Nice but more colorful than in the photos
This applies very smoothly, but it's more a cool bubblegum pink, versus the relative neutral than I'm seeing in the photos. I will have to layer it with Mademoiselle (which I also like but is too yellow). I should have purchased Fairy Tailor but I thought it would be too peachy. Probably would have looked more neutral on my warm skin.
