GAOY Brown Gel Nail Polish, 16ml Soak Off Gel Polish, UV Light Cure for Nail Art DIY Manicure at Home, 2088 Amber Brown

Nice color, not as red as Christmas color but it’s ok. It still did the job for me as a Christmas nails. It’s not as dark as in the picture, in real it’s nicer.

I wanted to love this one but couldn’t. I’ve purchased a few other colors from this brand and they’ve all been amazing and don’t chip. For some reason this dark red color took much longer to cure, leaving some coats wet and caused bubbling so I had to take them off and completely redo them. The milky white and light pink cure within 60 seconds but this one I had to do 60s multiple times, even with a thin coat. The color is rich and not streaky, but the curing was just an issue for me. I’m thinking it may have to do with it being dark? Not sure. Love this brand though, and I’ve been using it for a few months now!

Here’s my honest review for this polish, I bought the color crimson, and used at home with a base coat, 2 coats of this polish and a top coat. Pigment: 5/5 I am honestly super impressed with the pigment! I did 2 coats with top coat for the photo, but probably could have gotten away with 1 coat if I applied it more evenly because it covered super well. Hardness: 3/5 I found that this polish didn’t cure up super hard. After curing each layer, when wiping with an alcohol wipe, a fair amount of polish came off. And it definitely would have been super banged up if I didn’t put a tough top coat on it. Curing time: 2/5 I found I needed 2.5-3 mins to cure each layer. And all crevasses needed to be directly in the light, as my first attempt the pinky coat came halfway off when I wiped it because the light hadn’t hit that side super directly. And as mentioned above every time I wiped it between layers, some of the polish smudged off a bit. Durability: ? I’ll try and update this review in a few weeks to provide my thoughts here. But so far after a few days there’s been no chips. Overall I liked this polish, and may buy more in the future. It just took a long time because of the curing time. But I appreciate no HEMA and the drawbacks that has.

Excuse my nubs, we are recovering from nail extensions over here. I give this product a 3.5. It’s very sheer and takes multiple coats to get it somewhat opaque which I’m not a huge fan of but i guess that’s most polishes nowadays? I was able to achieve the look I somewhat wanted with multiple thin coats without it being too bulky, but the more coats you have to put on the more likely you are to mess something up. It cured great and I’ve had no allergic reactions to it so that’s a plus as well.
