A moody plum-purple manicure with a soft green flash and a glossy gel-like finish.
✦ Couture Color for Polished Nails
Essie Gel Couture Twill Seeker #80 is a longwear nail polish shade known for its dusty purple-plum base and subtle green flash in bright light. The finish has a dimensional duochrome shimmer that gives the manicure a refined, fashion-inspired edge without feeling overly bold.
Part of Essie’s Gel Couture 2-step system, this polish is designed to be used with Gel Couture Top Coat for a high-gloss, gel-like look—no UV or LED lamp required. The formula is applied like polish, wears like a longwear lacquer, and removes with regular nail polish remover following package directions.
