Review (4/5): Pretty good, but I don't peel
I use this with every gel manicure I give myself. I do NOT peel it off though - tried that once and got a little damage, so I avoid it now. My routine:
1. Prep nail, clean with alcohol swab
2. 2 coats of a regular nail polish basecoat, let dry
3. 1 coat BMC peelable gel, cure
4. 2 coats gelish structure gel for strength, cure each
5. 2-3 coats color, depending on polish. cure each
6. 1 coat topcoat, cure
What this base does is drastically speed up my soak-off time. Previously, it would take over an hour and now I'm at about 15 minutes. It comes off much cleaner too. Haven't had any trouble with wear... I'm getting 2+ weeks out of it which is plenty for me.
