PR/Gifted
Hello lovelies & happy Sunday. Unfortunately, it’s a pretty blah rainy Sunday (again). But I thought I would punch things up with a fun Essie colour I was recently sent for PR! This is Essie New Highs from the newly released 2025 Gel Couture Dopamine Rush collection.
2 coats + Essie Gel Couture Top Coat
Described as a “Ultramarine” Blue on the Essie website, I feel like this blue is much more exciting on the nail than in the bottle. The formula is on the thinner side, so two coats was a must for opacity. The formula dries quickly, but an added coat of top coat gave it a more plush finish.
The colour is really nice. It’s not a navy, but it’s not a cobalt. It feels bright, even though it’s on the darker spectrum of blue shades. & I quite enjoy it! Also, looking at the rest of the shades in the collection, I might have to search out a couple more to add to my stash.
Essie Gel Couture shades are available anywhere you buy Essie, ranging in price from $11.49 CAD to $16.49 CAD (when not on sale).
What do you think of Essie Gel Couture New Highs? Are you a fan of this vibrant blue? What are your thoughts on the Essie Gel Couture line? I was definitely late to trying it, but I’m a huge fan of the formula & love all the colours I own! & I especially adore the top coat! It has a great lasting quality & dries quickly.
Let me know what you think down in the comments below!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Coffee & Nail Polish 
Lovely color that totally packs a PUNCH – and a good one at that! This is a perfect bold blue hue for your skin tone! It looks like it has an almost jelly-like consistency, which might make it perfect for those who like to layer and experiment with multiple polishes. (Notta me – I prefer 1 to 2 coats max for opacity. And then, if I have extra time to play, maybe a teensy bit of nail art for fun. But that’s not that often!)Thanks, as always, for bringing your bright, cheerful, and beautiful posts to the Interwebs – and on one of the most important and fun topics there is, IMO – nail polish! (Oh, and coffee… but I’m a boring black drinker!)
Aw thank you love! This colour is bold & I love it. It’s definitely more crelly than jelly, but you might be able to do some layering — I might have to try!
Thank you as always for your lovely words! They make my day.
You are so welcome dear! I regret I’m not able to comment more often – life has been, well, NUTS! I’m sure you can relate – we all go through seasons!
Have a blessed week!
