More recently I've heard the likes of "Tá tú ag breathnú go hálainn" on TG4... but something tells me that the young Gaolainn speakers are just sliding into English.
I'm pretty sure "Tá cuma X ort" is the canonical way of doing it.

Tá cuma shéimh uirthi. Because cuma is feminine.

Tá tú ag breathnú go hálainn... That's the 1st thing Aoife Ní Tuairisc from Paisean Faisean said to me when we met..

Aonghus: Tá cuma séimhe uirthi.
Lughaidh: Tá cuma shéimh uirthi. Because cuma is feminine.
Is fíor duit, a Lughaidh. But one can also use a noun in the genitive after "cuma", and "séimhe" is the genitive of "séimhe" (= gentleness). I would be inclined to add the article, however:
cuma na séimhe (cf. cuma na maitheasa = cuma mhaith)
"An seanchas gearr,
an seanchas is fearr."

Chuir mise an "e" as an áireamh. Cé go bhfeicim anois gur deacair sin d'fheiscint - bhain me feidhm as "strike" e agus e. e agus e. Bheadh an t-alt riachtanach, dar liom. | Tá cuma shéimh uirthi | she looks gentle | | Tá cuma na séimhe uirthi | she looks like someone who is habitually gentle |
