The media could not be loaded. I will start by saying this is not the best nail polish my wife has tried ... but for the price and someone who wants a lot of color options, it's okay. The biggest issue we had is that it was so thick that it didn't go on as smooth as some of the more expensive name brand nail polish we have used over the years. Others have mentioned that this was a bit clumpy ... we didn't find it to be clumpy at all ... but when the light hits the polish, you can see the unevenness of the coating. Our guess is that this is more for younger kids and teens ... Who wouldn't mind the slight unevenness as a tradeoff for having more color options. The different colors seemed to apply a bit differently with the darker colors being more thick and less sticky than the lighter consistency of the light colors. We noticed that the bright red tended to have sticky strands attached as you pulled the brush away, which didn't happen with the darker colors. The applicator bottles are nice in that the neck of the bottle conceals dripping from excess liquid upon butting the brush back in, which makes them less messy to store in a drawer or makeup box. The bottle color representation was pretty spot on to the actual color on the nails. The instructions are 5 steps ... and recommend that you cure the polish under a UV light for 2 minutes. We don't have a UV light, so by 5 minutes, the polish and pre and top coats were generally pretty dry. Because the polish was a bit thick and sticky, it took longer to dry than other polish we have used. It's nice that they include the pre and top coat. The instructions say apply 2 or 3 costs of polish but we found that one coat worked well with the darker colors and 2 costs was fine even with the lighter colors. Overall, honestly this is not a nail polish my wife would use regularly. However, we have it to a neighbor with a younger daughter and she was thrilled with both the colors (her favorite being the vibrant pink-ish red) and the variety. I hope my video, pictures and honest review, after actually using the product was helpful to you. Read more
This is such a beautiful set. It came in very well packaged and well protected. I love that it has 6 gorgeous colors with a top coat and base coat in the set. They are great size bottles, 12ml. My favorite part is that all colors are identified by the whole bottles' colors. Basically, the color of the bottles are is same colors of the gel nail polish colors inside them. If you have thousands bottles of gel nail polish like me, you would understand how significant and helpful that is. The gel has very mild scent to it, not offensive nor strong at all. It has a semi thick body to it. It's extremely easy to work with and the colors are solid, glossy and bright. It's cured quite nicely and quickly, only 60s and done. I only applied 1 coat and I could achieve the shade that I wanted. Overall, it's a very well-made product at a very affordable price. Highly recommended. Read more
Even though I am happy to see companies making HEMA-free nail gel. I was even happier that the gel came in glass bottles. However, applying this gel polish sucked major rocks. * The formula is clumpy and gooey. Good luck getting a thin and/or even coat on and not flooding your cuticles. If you try to wipe the extra on the bottle it would form a bubble and over flow. * The brushes are of terrible quality. The bottle I tried had a brush that constantly shed while painting my nails. I am not new to painting my nails. Even though I don't consider myself a professional, I have I been painting my nails for almost 30 years. 10 of those years, I worked with gel. I couldn't in good conscience recommend this to people who are at a professional level, forget people who are new. Read more
The bottles themselves are great, and having top coat and base coat included is a nice addition. The size of each bottle of polish and coat is really nice. You get plenty of product to last you a long time. The formula of the polish itself isn't the best, though. It's pretty thick, and this makes it harder to work with. Doing more precise artwork with this polish is difficult because of the thick, gooey type of texture. It does cure great, though, so once you get to that step, you are good to go. And the top coat works very well to protect the finished designs. Read more
Vibrant color offering in this kit. Great value. Read more
The colors are beautiful, highly pigmented and exactly as pictured but unfortunately i am not a fan of the formula! The polish is too thick and difficult to properly apply! Feels and looks chunky and sloppy! Took FOREVER to cure! Im usually done within 4-5 min but this took almost 9 minutes to fully cure! I would not order again! Read more
