A polished muted berry shade with gel-like shine and no lamp required.
✦ Polished Color, Couture Shine
ESSIE COUTURE 301 SEQUINS ON THE ROCKS is an Essie Gel Couture longwear nail polish in a muted berry shade, created for a refined manicure with a gel-like finish. The formula is used in Essie’s 2-step system: color first, then Gel Couture top coat to seal the look with shine and protection.
Designed for clean, bare nails with no base coat and no UV or LED lamp, this lacquer brings the feel of a polished salon manicure into an easy at-home routine. The bottle size is listed as 0.46 fl oz, and Essie’s site identifies this shade as discontinued, so availability may be limited.
