ESSIE COUTURE 138 PRE-SHOW JITTERS(3)

A soft alabaster white with a cool pink tint, made for a polished gel-like manicure without the lamp.

✦ Polished Color, Gel-Like Shine

Essie Gel Couture Pre-Show Jitters #138 is a longwear nail polish with a gel-like finish, created for use with the Gel by essie top coat. The shade is an elegant alabaster white with a cool, soft pink tint and a cream finish—clean, refined, and beautifully suited to manicures that feel fresh and timeless.

This is not a cured gel polish; it is a regular lacquer designed to deliver a plump, high-shine look without a UV or LED lamp. The 2-step system keeps application simple: two coats of color, one coat of Gel by essie top coat, and no base coat needed according to the brand’s directions.
