A polished nude manicure with gel-like shine, made effortless without a UV lamp.
✦ Couture Nude Color for Longwear Nails
Essie Gel Couture 56 Low Tide High Slit is a longwear nail polish shade in Essie’s Gel Couture collection, described by retailers as a nude tone. Designed for a refined, salon-like manicure, it delivers a gel-like high-shine finish when paired with the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat.
The two-step system is simple: color plus top coat, with no base coat and no UV or LED lamp required. It is sold as a single 0.46 fl oz bottle, making it easy to add this elegant neutral shade to your at-home or salon nail color wardrobe.
✦ Why This Manicure Stands Out
✦ Nude Couture Shade Low Tide High Slit offers a polished nude look that feels clean, wearable, and easy to style.
✦ Gel-Like High Shine When used with Gel Couture Top Coat, the finish appears glossy and salon-inspired.
✦ No UV Lamp Needed The formula is made for traditional polish application, so there is no curing lamp required.
✦ Simple Two-Step System Apply two coats of color, then seal with the matching Gel Couture Top Coat.
✦ Longwear Polish Finish Essie and retailers market Gel Couture for chip-resistant wear, with best results using the complete system.
✦ Removes Like Polish When you are ready for a new shade, remove with acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover.
