I do my nails myself. Always. Even acrylics. I use this as a base coat for natural nails because it fills in ridges from my acrylic nails. I also use this as a first top coat for hungry...

After years of salon visits for acrylic nails, SNS/powder-dipped manis, and gel manicures, I've decided to go back to natural nails. Currently they're in pretty rough shape - very thin and weak,...

I've learned after experimenting with this product for a few years now, that it works best on my nails as a base coat, and not as a top coat. It really does help my manicure to last longer when...

This is a game changer for me. I have soft ,bendy nails that would cause nail polish to peel easily. I wouldn't bother painting my nails because it would only last a day. Now since using this...

I highly suggest this base coat. I bought it as a no-animal testing alternative to Essie All In One. I like it for a couple reasons: it dries fast but leaves a slightly tacky surface for nail...

I was tempted to buy this for years. Not for the "faux gel manicure," but because shine and for glitter smoothing since I love my glitter polishes. Recently I finally bit. As a glitter smoother,...

I love this stuff! Gives me a shellac look without the price. You do have to layer. It's super cheap at Sally's for only $5. My manicure lasted for almost 10 days! You should add this to your...

This product is amazing! For those of you who want a DIY gel manicure, this is it. First and foremost, for those of you ONLY using it as a top coat - DON'T. It doesn't work well that way. What...

I'm in love with this product. Makes any polish last for five o seven days in perfect condition, without chipping (used over the basecoat, between layers of polish, and before the top coat). Nails...

Gelous is, for me, a miracle product. I've been wearing the same polish for four days with minimal tip wear. I've tried several other base coats and never found any that gave me more that 24...

This is my HG basecoat and I've been using it for several years now. My manicures wear like iron with this and it's cheap at Sally's so it's a win-win for me. It makes my nails a lot stronger...
