When Essie debuted its first professional gel series, the nail-obsessed masses (ahem) sighed with relief. There are definitely pros and cons to both. If you're one to change your polish as much as Demi Lovato swaps out her hair hue, then the classic bottles are your BFF. But if you're more into a monogamous relationship with your polishes, you should totally give the gels a whirl. And while many of your favorite shades aren't available in gel form, we've got you covered. Scroll to find your favorite Essie shade, and we'll pair you with your new favorite gel shade. Consider it a match made in nail-salon heaven.
