Cool color

Very dainty and slightly sheer while still giving a nice amount of coverage. Easy to use. Scent is average, a bit loud in scent. It does offer a high shine.

This is such a nice nail polish! Great alternative to going to the salon and putting your hands under the UV lamp. This does the exact same thing without the damage from the lamp. It dries super quick and smells amazing! Simple easy way to apply it. It’s a two step process same as regular nail polishes but with a longer lasting effect. It totally gives an iridescent look to it. I’m in love! Also, check it out at regular stores with the variety of shades. It’s merely $15. Very great value with no chip as well compared to the $50+ manicures outside where same nail polishes are used on everyone! This bottle has a twist shape to it and has a nice grip as well! No-chip through and through.

Nice chrome nails
8 months ago
I love this glazed chrome color. Its a nice second step to my nail polish routine. It can be added on top of almost any nail color but better with other Essie colors. Its adds a shimmery coat. It lasts a long time but eventually starts chipping. It makes my nails look classier.

Beautiful polish!

This shade adds a beautiful shine effect to your nails with ease! However, I did notice that it was a little streaky and took a while to dry. It is worth your patience though!

Unique color and dries off fast!
8 months ago
Essie is my favorite nail color brand. They have a wide variety of shades and they offer the best quality nail colors in the market. I love how easy it is to apply and it dries off fast. Their glazed chrome shade is very unique and futuristic looking. It it a metallic color which goes well with any look. I love their packaging as it is very modern and stylish. For easy and beautiful manicures at home, always choose Essie!

Pretty color, didn't last long
8 months ago
This nail polish gives a beautiful glazed chrome color although in certain lights it looks more silver. I found just one coat of it was enough to get the chrome effect but it does look a little streaky. It also dries fairly quickly. When it comes to the longevity of it, it starts peeling off the edges of my nails within hours but not as bad as other nails polish but I'm also a mom and I'm constantly cooking and cleaning without gloves so I think it might last a little longer for someone that doesn't work with their hands as much.

Subtle, but pretty
8 months ago
I really like this! It’s not a true chrome, but rather a milky or “glazed” one as the title suggests. It’s very subtle and a little on the muted side, so if you’re not a fan of that then you probably won’t like this. I wish it had a little more pigment, but it’s still pretty good.

These shades are incredible, the polish is in the color ‘Gossamer Garments’ which is a beautiful pink and the top coat is in ‘Glazed Chrome’ that gives it this nice frost. It’s a long lasting polish and gives that same gel effect that a trip to the salon would give. I want these in every color now! And did I mention that it is vegan, 8 free and never animal tested!

Have mixed feelings on this
8 months ago
I’m not really a fan of how this shade completely changes the shade of whatever shade you used in step 1. I do like how it actually does make the polish look more gel-like but I wish it would have added an extra but of sheer to the shade not make it a while new shade. Now to the important part for me for any nail polish: does it chip right away?Yes, kind of. The first day I avoided putting my hand in water as much as I usually do, and they held up, but when I washed my hair and did the dishes, they were quick to chip, so I would say avoid much water and wear gloves, and they will last longer.

Fast drying, long lasting
8 months ago
This adds a subtle but significant shine. Applied easy and dried fast within about 5 minutes (no UV light needed). Apply one layer if you want a subtle shine. Apply two layers is you want a more saturated and glittery finish. Didn’t chip at all and only starting lifting from the nail bed around day 10! Super satisfied with this product!

Love the finish
8 months ago
I loved the packaging of this Essie nail polish, it has a cute shape. I also loved the finish; it leaves like a pearl effect when applying after a light pink nail polish. I also enjoy the fact that it doesn’t have a strong scent, which is good because I get dizzy really easily.

Hi there deebc658_1134, thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture ‘glazed chrome’ top coat. That’s not the results you should get with any of our nail enamels, including this metallic chrome pearlescent top coat! The Gel Couture colors should be applied to clean, bare nails, with no base coat. Just 2 coats of color and the Gel Couture Top coat, each layer should take no more than 5 minutes to dry.

shiny shimmering splendid

I’m usually a press on gal but receiving this top coat specifically made me ready to switch it up a bit. It isn’t super silver or overpowering but adds a fun touch. It dries pretty quickly. I’m looking forward to pairing it with other colors or using it standalone!

Good shine
9 months ago
Essie top coat in shade glazed chrome is a vegan, chrome finish nail paint that gives a striking glazed effect to nails in shade silver. I used it as a stand alone coat and it looks equally pretty. It's durable, doesn't chip a couple of days and consistency is thin and perfect. It gives a nice finish to nails.

Gorgeous glazed finish

I received the Essie Metallic Glaze Top Coat in Glazed Chrome for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review, and I’m really impressed! It adds a beautiful chrome-like shine to any nail color and gives that trendy glazed look with just one coat. Super easy to apply, does not require UV lamp but takes a bit of time to dry. It makes your nails stand out. Loved the finish!

Shine strong
9 months ago
Beautiful color and the perfect shimmer. As a gel this dried down pretty good. Packing is cute and easy to open. You will definitely save money on going to salons. I prefer to do my own nails and am on a nail journey to have good strong nails and this gel is perfect for that. As always nail polish does have that strong scent but recommend wearing a breathable mask.

Love essie nail polish. They apply so nicely for the price. This silver is so fun to put on. Over the pink it gave a very natural silver look. This has a very strong smell though.

Awesome new Essie 2 step polish!
9 months ago
This polish was the final step 2 glaze. I liked the color and it lasted pretty long and didn’t chip at all. The bottle is beautiful and I would say the formula is much better and stronger than some of the old ones that I have. It was a nice everyday neutral color could be used on a daily basis and goes with all outfits! Thank you influenster for letting me test this product!

What a nice metallic grey color!
9 months ago
I love this metallic grey color on my nails. I use it on my toes and they look absolutely gorgeous. I do like these pain because this brand is budget friendly and the nail paint stay longer than the other brands and does not ship off easily. Applying this is easy you don’t need a UV lamp and you can get your desired look by applying more coats.
