Review (5/5): Forget gelish!
I will never go back to gelish after using this product! It lasts forever. In fact, I usually have to replace it before it chips because I have a gap where my nails grew out. I still have gelish top and base coat, so I use them with this polish. It works fine. I love that if it does chip, all of the Polish doesn't peel off. It seems like with gelish you get one chip and it breaks the seal and the whole thing peels off. Thin layers of Polish are the key. It will last longer and cure better if you use several thin layers.
I did find this product harder to soak off than gelish. I figured out that if you use one of those callus removers that looks like a metal cheese grater to file the nail polish before soaking it works enter than a regular file. You just have to be careful to not file through to the nail.
I feel like the product is a little expensive, but all gel nail Polish is. The free shipping is a plus! I have found that you can substitute rubbing alcohol for the nail cleanser and pure acetone nail Polish remover instead of the soak off gel remover. It is the same ingredients and much cheaper than the gelish brand.
I have both the kings blue and the asphalt gray colors and I love them! The kings blue is very vibrant and pretty. The colors in the description pictures are a very accurate representation of the actual color. It may vary slightly depending on the number of coats you use.
