ESSIE COUTURE 102 ATELIER AT THE BAY (1)

A soft pastel yellow creme with polished, gel-like shine—made for elegant color without the lamp.

✦ Soft Yellow Gel-Couture Color

Essie Gel Couture 102 Atelier At The Bay is a longwear nail polish in a soft, sophisticated pastel yellow creme. Designed as Step 1 in Essie’s Gel Couture system, it delivers a smooth color look with the glossy, plumped appearance of a gel manicure—without the need for a UV lamp.

Pair it with Essie Gel Couture Top Coat for the brand’s signature 2-step finish: luminous shine, comfortable wear, and easy at-home removal with acetone or non-acetone polish remover. The patented swirl-stem brush helps distribute color evenly, making this sunny pastel feel refined, wearable, and salon-inspired.
