Great products
Great product. I want to try the really glossy ones. The polish last long and makes the nails, bright and beautiful.

Good beginner gel
Not too thin, not too thick. Very easy to control. Good for a thin base or to sculpt a full nail. Good beginner gel since you don’t have a separate brush & pot. Buildable color.

Great builder gel that’s affordable!
I got the clear builder gel and it’s great! I’ve been using a keratin fiber gel and I thought I would switch. I needed to work in my apex(still trying too) and this is easier to do that with. I glides in smooth. It does have a sticky layer that you wipe off also. It feels smooth after doing that which is great! I didn’t have any peeling with mine and cured it in my uv lamp. I would say this is a better quality than other gel I’ve used. I do want to try a nude or pink color next time. The pictures show two coats of the builder gel. I don’t polish all of my old polish off so it looks kinda funky. But my nails feel strong and great after using.

WASTE OF TIME
1st review 1 out of 5-star rating 7/25/2025: Subject: I really wanted this to work… I’m so disappointed Review: This was so bad. The color was beautiful, although it seemed as though it was going to be shiny and a much pinker color, it was clearer than it was opaque. I didn’t put thick layers at all. They were nice and thin, but it still didn’t dry. So, although it was easy to apply, it didn’t actually work out. It never dried up; I placed it under the lamp for over 2 minutes and STILL nothing! I placed a topcoat and still nothing. I had to take alcohol wipes and remove the shine top layer because it just wouldn’t dry. WHY IS A UV GEL NOT DRYING UNDER A UV LAMP?!?! I tried asking and also with a topcoat but neither way did it work. This is horrible! I’m never giving this another try. 2nd review 4 out of 5-star rating 7/26/2025: Subject: DON'T FOLLOW THE MFG INSTRUCTIONS - This is how I got it to work!! Read this before you buy Review: I buffed my nails yesterday, added a nail dehydrator liquid, put a clear base coat and added the builder gel. Despite putting it back under the lamp over and over (altogether 5+ mins each hand) and it not curing properly last night, I had no other choice but to take alcohol wipes to remove the oily top layer slick that seemed to have interacted with the curing process and prevented it from truly hardening. Keep in mind that this had nothing to do with the amount of gel I applied at all. I put very thin layers. When I woke up this morning, I decided to use my "Orly Sec'n Dry" as my topcoat, since it always does wonders for any UV gel polish that I use. After only 90 seconds, it was nice and dry as always (Orly is such an MVP) and I got that luster and shine back. So, if you were thinking it was just you, it's not you! It's the company and their stupid instructions. But there is a way around it. I won't lie - my nails are stronger, and I can see how using a paper-thin brush to finish off the cuticle area as this company does in the Instagram videos can prevent this puddling effect it had on the sides. But for the first time, it is NOT BAD! I am still giving it 4 stars because I have seen so many of their Instagram videos and SHAME ON YOU for not using your platform to mention these things! I had to figure it out because there was just no way I was about to walk around with dull, buffed up looking nails all week. I'm glad that I didn't give up, but I AM NOT HAPPY with this company!!! They could do better!! I was stressed out for no reason, all because they didn't provide proper directions on how to use this product and I had to figure it out myself. Seriously, SHAME ON YOU!!!!! The first photo is from last night, and the last 2 photos are from this morning after fixing it with the topcoat and finishing it all off with cuticle oil. I hope someone reads this and I get to save them the time and frustration I had so that it can come out right for them the first time around and avoid the whole process of trial and error. 3rd review 1 out of 5-star rating 8/19/25: Subject: WASTE OF TIME I haven’t had the time to follow up but on day 3 the builder gel was chipped, flaking, and it clearly contains some chemical in there that my body rejected because it was literally ITCHING to come off… I tried everything to get this to work but it was a waste of my time and money! Don’t bother.

Love this product!
Perfect for me! Backstory - I have been a nail biter my whole life (mid 50’s now). I have had my own natural nails maybe 4 times. I have nails again :). Even though I am not biting-I tend to pick at polish when I wear it. I am not sure if it is a “nail biter” thing-but I can feel polish on my nails, which drives me a little crazy, so polish changes don’t last long for me. I also like to change out my polish frequently because well-I haven’t worn polish or be able to have dun designs my whole life. Why I love this product- -It peels easily using an orange stick or the plastic equivalent. -I do not have to file off the top coat, or do any soaking with acetone. (I live in a dry climate and it wreaks havoc on my cuticle area) -Lasts as long as I want it to - given the proper prep (10 days is the longest I have gone) -Polish changes are so much faster What I have leaned is that nail prep is very important. -Make sure to remove all cuticle tissue from nails, especially along the side walls -slightly buff nail surface so that it is not smooth and shiny -use a nail dehydrator or alcohol prep pad and let dry before applying product. I didn’t do this once, the polish popped off like a press on nail -clean up any flooding prior to curing. Even the slightest flooding will provide opportunity for lifting. -use along with a builder gel. Why-if you have thin flexible nails, the builder gel will harden the nails, and peeling or pop off is less likely. This product will be a staple for me-and I will use it for as long as I have nails this time 😆

Before and after
Insanely good! I had removed my previous nails and they looked uneven and gross. I applied the base coat, my old normal nail polish (ik this is wrong but I wanted to compare), then the top coat and it looks very good!! I should have applied it with care but I was in a rush — but if u were applying it carefully and slowly, it might be as good as in the salon!

PEEL OFF BASE COAT - A bit dissapointed
It either wasn't for me or it just really doesn't work that well. For starters, the longest I was able to get it to stick was five days. All the other manis I did only last for two to three days. I understand this base is not made to last weeks, but if it's advertised as long lasting, it should at least stay for a week. It's advertised to "last for 7+ days" and it really didn't for me. Another thing that was advertised was that it comes off without damaging the nail, which was true for most of my nails, but some of them peel off some of my natural nail. I added a lot of oil, I made sure to let it sit, and it still did some damage. I give it three stars because it still works as a base coat, especially if you don't need your manicure to last for longer than three days. Can work for people that like to change their polish often, but you do need to be super super careful with the removal. I personally don't have the time in my hands to spend 3+ hours on a manicure only for it to last less than a week, but if you're a tech and want to practice on yourself, this works perfectly fine.
