Gellen Gel Nail Polish Kit 16 Colors With Top Base Coat - Popular Nude Grays Nail Gel Collection, Solid Sparkles Glitters UV Pastel Fall Winter Nail Gel Colors Manicure Set

Perfect set of colors for all season. Minimal peeling and I would buy again.

Very impressed with this product. First of all, it arrived undamaged. I read a lot of reviews were it arrived with broken polishes, but mine arrived in perfect condition! Second of all, the presentation is stunning, I didn’t want to throw the box and take the polishes from their emplacements. Lastly, the quality of the polish is great. I opened all the polishes and none of them had any clumps. They all had the texture of a gel polish. Very happy with this purchase. I may buy more of the color in the future.When I tried the polishes for the first time, I got confused because I was used to using an all-in-one Gel polish. So when I was curing the base coat and the color, I was confused on why it wasn't completely dry. I then realized that it's the TOP COAT that sets everything! So to resume, this is a perfect set because it's complete. It has the base coat, 16 different colors and a top coat.I recommend this product !

Man do I wish I bought the other 2 sets at the same time because they've almost doubled in price since I purchased and the quality is awesome. Definitely beats the quality and longevity of all of my Gelish polish, hands down, and the bottles in this kit are at least twice the size. The bottles indicate the color of the polish and look exactly like it when applied. 3 thin coats is perfect and there aren't any streaks. The base coat and top coat are great also and they dry hard w/out a sticky layer to remove (even tho I so anyway w/a nail cleaner, just to kind of shine them up one final time). I use my Gelish 45 second travel led light w/this polish and it works great.My only tip is to make sure that your nails are buffed/roughed up everywhere thoroughly and you polish with the base coat to all of the edges completely. I can do my own mani's just fine but when I do my daughters it is a little harder because I must be doing it at an awkward angle (trying not to get polish all over her skin) and she does have some minor peeling after a few days. My mani's last at least 2 1/2 weeks.UPDATE 3/2021: Not sure what happened but the top coat isn't drying all the way and is super sticky. When I wipe it w/alcohol it turns my polish matte. Did it go bad? At this point I have multiple full sets of this polish w/different colors and all of the top coats are doing the same thing.... They are super thick and never harden all the way.

Having previously purchased the pink spring collection and being very satisfied with the purchase, I was eager to purchase additional colors. The Autumn color collection did disappoint, I have only used one color insofar, and the application is smooth, brush bristles are of good quality, and the finish is perfect. Great combination color palette.I have been using top and base form CND but it appears to work well with the Gellen products. I particularly like that you can see the color of the varnish externally vs. some wherein you need open the bottle to confirm color.

I love gel polish so getting such a wide assortment of colors is wonderful. These bottles are smaller than regular sized bottles and personally, I'm fine with that. Think about it, gel is not the same as regular polish; you won't use as much and you definitely won't use it as often since gel lasts longer. I'll gladly take smaller bottles if it means a bigger assortment!The first color I tried is #303, sort of a coral pink color (see pic). It's very pretty, conservative, and goes with everything. My favorite color in this mix is #350, which is neither red or pink - I'd call it a rose color. There are interesting shades of grey - a lavender grey, a slate blue grey, and a light grey. While I don't love purple, they are true purple colors - I like the darker of them as it has sparkles. Speaking of sparkles, I'll definitely use the medium/dark blue in the fall. There's no green, although there is what I would call a very pale sage that probably belongs with my depiction of the grey colors. Are there any duds? Sure there are! But it's all subjective and depends on your taste. For me, mustard color or earthy browns aren't really my thing. But, there are more good than bad colors, so this is still a winner. I'd like to see a summer-inspired collection of hot pinks, firery reds, and summer whites. Now, the application...It goes on beautifully as expected. I started with clean nails that I trimmed and buffed. I applied a thin primer/bond for uv gels (not included) to prep them. Then the base coat, 2 coats of color, followed by top coat. Under my UV/LED lamp, I cured each coat of gel for 1 minute. The results are beautiful. Fabulous shine you will only get with gel polish. BUT.... they peeled after a few days. The only time my gel has ever peeled was when my manicurist made them too thick. I use very thin coats so this was not the cause. My nails are primed, clean, and free of any oil, so this was not the cause. I know these gels are different as they're the first gel polishes I've had that weren't in an all-black bottle. Is this peeling a deal breaker? Not really because they still last longer than non-gel polish and quite honestly, I hate soaking off my gel polish. With this, admittedly the peeling made removal easier. I still had to use a drill to buff off the top coat on most of my nails, but the removal process (acetone + tin foil wraps) took minimal effort. So, the bottom line: great selection, easy application, gorgeous shine, easy removal. Will they last 2 weeks? No, but with so many colors, you may as well try a new color once a week!
