Very pretty colors and they match the photo well. The gel cures nicely and doesn’t leave a sticky residue so I never felt the need for a top coat. I haven’t used the polish on natural nails though I have only done them on fake nails. One layer is a bit too sheer for me but two balances a beautiful middle of color and transparent. I feel like this could honestly cost more so the value is there for sure. If you don’t know what type of pinky buds you need/want I feel like this had a nice variety since most pinks are too pink or light for my complexion(I wear light/medium foundation color if that helps and am Latina).

STUNNING!! I love this brand so much. The colors are amazing. The polish goes on even and sets very nicely with the SUNUV sun one led lamp. Read more
I bought the rose garden set to add to my collection. I have quite a lot of gel polishes from various companies, and have been doing gel on bare nails and on gelx extensions for about 4 years. The colors are well-represented by the swatch photos - the two darkest are very jelly-like, while the lighter 4 are milkier, but still with good transparency. They came nicely packed and are a decent size (unlike the occasional super tiny bottles that come in these sets), and have a great consistency. With all jelly/transparent colors, it can be challenging to get an even coat of color, but after a few coats I'm very pleased. I'm currently wearing the red wine color on my bare toenails and gelx fingernails, so I'll update regarding longevity, but I suspect it will last a few weeks until it's grown out and I'm ready to change the color. (update: they did!) For those in the reviews who are having trouble with chipping, here are some tips: Prep: - Rough up the surface of your nails to give the gel something to adhere to, then use a dehydrating primer to prep the nail. If the nails are slick, of even have a little bit of natural oils, you'll have issues getting any polish to stay. Painting: -Make sure to paint the tip of the nail as well, not just the top. This will help prevent lifting, and generally look nicer. -Use a thin layer of base coat, cure for 60s, and don't wipe the surface with anything -Repeat for each coat of color, cleaning up the edges around the cuticle with a wooden stick/ small stiff brush dipped in acetone -Add a top coat, and cure for 90s. Do NOT add a second layer of top coat, as it won't adhere well. If you need to add another layer of top coat, you must rough up the surface with a file again. Removal: -If you want to try an acetone soak, rough up the surface with a file/efile before you start. You can use a bowl, or dip cotton in acetone, apply, and wrap in foil. Expect to soak for at least 15 minutes, possibly more than once. -I use an efile to remove all of the polish (and my gelx extensions) but it is very easy to accidentally file your natural nail down. If you aren't sure, take off as much as you can safely with the efile, then soak off the rest. If they're still chipping, consider whether your natural nails are thin and flexible - if you imagine bending an object with paint on it, it's natural for that paint to chip under stress. Consider strengthening/stiffening your nail with an extension or a layer of builder gel to increase wear time. Read more
Love, love, love this polish. I've been using another popular brand of gel polish and wasn't happy with the colors, and consistency. This was so smooth, went on easy, dried well, and the colors are perfect! It's a great deal if you want to do your own gel. Big bottles. I used my SUNUV lamp and it cut my manicure time down. Only 4 stars until I see how it lasts. If I get 2 weeks for this price I will not buy anything else. I also bought the nail builder for strength and the top and base coats and got 10 bottles of polish.. Cost me less than 4 bottles of the other brand. other brand. Read more
Very beautiful colors and quality gel. It’s very durable and the color are very similar to pictures. I loved this brands products! Read more
I’m a big fan of this brand and own several of their colors, along with their base and top coats. The Nude Jelly set has a beautiful range of shades, and you can definitely achieve different tones from each bottle depending on how many coats you apply. That said, getting those thinner coats to go on evenly can be tricky as they tend to streak. The polishes perform much better with multiple layers, though that does narrow the shade range a bit. Unfortunately, this particular set was a letdown. Several of the bottles had a chunky texture—almost like when milk scalds, which made them difficult to use. I’m not sure if the set was old, previously opened, or just a bad batch, but I tried them a few times with the same result. Sadly, this was my first disappointing experience with Gaoy. Read more
I honestly love these colors and they are so nice sitting on my nails. They coat really well and have a great, even distribution. Building the color doesn’t make it super chunky or anything. Honestly just a really good product and the colors are beautiful. Read more
Really like these colors as they have a transparent touch and look nice for the most part. They are not as durable as I hoped they peel off pretty quickly and some of the bottles the colors were on the drier side and made it hard to apply. They are cheap so I guess you get what you pay for, so if you dont mind constantly changing your gel nail color you will like these. Read more
