    Easy to Use System

    Great colour selection and easy to use. I prefer hard gels to polish though so this will be my add on when I want to change things up between appointments

    Perfect at home manicure!

    I love a good manicure; however, I was going every 3-4 weeks which got pricey! I looked into starting to do my own nails at home and started using another product, which didn’t last very long at all. I then tried Gelish soak off gel polish and LOVE it! The bottle is big, the price is low and this polish lasts much longer than other polishes. Gelish offers a wide range of colours which is a bonus!

    Best gel

    This is the best gel polish for beginners. Instructions were easy enough to follow and it definitely works with other LED light. It is definitely expensive but if you compare to salon costs for a manicure, it is well worth the cost.

    My favourite gel polish brand

    The consistency of the polish isn’t thick and hard to work with like some of the other brands. You just have to be sure it doesn’t get on your skin or cuticle or it will lift. If done properly it will stay on for 2-3 weeks. Soak off is the same as any other gel. Recommend for anyone looking to begin their DIY gel manicure at home.

    Love love love!

    I have been going to get gel manicures at the salon but just couldn't justify the prices anymore, so I did my research to find the best gel that I could do at home. I'm really impressed with the color palette of Gelish and the ease of doing my nails, once I got the hang of it. It just takes practice!

    The best!

    I find Gelish is the top 2 best brand that I have used for a gel polish aplication. I have used CND, ASP, Sally Hansen, China Glaze, and none of them match up to the quality of Gelish polishes. I use it on my toes and fingernails. On my toes it could last 2-3 months. For myself it usually lasts about 1 week for my fingers as I like to change up my nail colour often. If I left it on it can last for up to 2 weeks.

    A little pricey for a 15 mL bottle at just over $15, but worth the money as it last a long time.

    I don't think I could every go back to regular nail polish

    I have been using the Gelish soak off colors for over two years now and absolutely love them. I bought a kit with the base coat, top coat, cuticle oil, LED lamp and nail PH Bond. It also came with 2 colors ( Flamingo pink and a sparkly red) and acetone soak off remover and a nail cleanse for before and after application.

    I have to say that these polishes are fantastic. They go on so smooth and without bubbles and streaking and are super shiny. My nails have such a high quality look to them that I constantly get asked where I get my nails done and how much do they charge. Gelish will last on my nails for about 3 weeks and nearly 2 months on my toes. I absolutely love love love Gelish on my toes for summer pedicures. I apply the product one coat at a time and not too thick for it to cure properly under the lamp and follow up with the top coat. It only takes me 30-45 minutes total for me to do my finger nails and about 20-30 minutes for my toes. I now can wash dishes everyday without my manicure chipping and don't have to be careful with how hard I am on my nails cause they will still look like I just came from the salon. There also is no waiting after for your nails to dry and you don't have to worry about smudges. Just cure your nails under your lamp between each coat and they use the remover after your top coat to take the tackiness off and you are ready to show off your new mani or pedi. I don't think I can ever go back to regular polish now - Gelish is absolutely fantastic!

    Love it!

    I would always go to a salon to get a gel overlay done on my nails! I never needed tips but it still cost 50.00 for every time I went! I purchased the gelish nail kit with LED lamp to try it out! I do find that it can still be pricey at times but I do enjoy doing my own nails with my own designs! I have not had an issue with peeling or anything with this gel! It's smooth and easy to use!

    Gelish is the ONLY nail polish that I will use on my toes that will last over 3 months until essentially my toe nails grow out. I have never had any issues with peeling, chipping, or discoloration problems ever. I hate always having too re-do my nail polish every week and with Gelish you do not have too worry about it at all. You do need too purchase a LED lamp or UV lamp in order for your polish too set properly. Its not a regular nail-polish. More so a gel polish that applies exactly like regular polish. You must apply thin coats in order for this too work and prep your nails properly too have them last a long time. I noticed with the colors that you only need too apply 2 coats of the nail polish too achieve the full effects of the color. No more is needed or it will get too thick and clumpy.

    Gelish has over 100 colors too choose from ranging from shiny, sparkles, matte, bold, bright and even glow in the dark. The black matte polish is absolutely gorgeous!! They just came out with the Matt Top Coat so you need too buy this separately in order too get a matte look. Just make sure you buy the Top off and Foundation polishes as well when purchasing your colors. This will help everything set in place properly. I also recommend not using any type of lotions or oils a day or 2 before you use this or you may notice within a couple days some slight peeling. If you do just make sure you wash your hands with an oil free cleanser and buff your nail beds too reduce the oils in the nail. (I added a picture of my pink toes and its called "Tag your it".) Perfect beach time summer color. @Gelish

    You can purchase this at Cosmo Prof for 17.99$ a bottle. Yes slightly expensive but they don't expire for 3 years so you defiently get your money worth in this product.
