I went to Sally's Beauty Supply to get some hair stuff. While I was there I asked the employee about gel kits. I had wanted to get into them because **NOTHING** stays on my nails. I can do just...

HG!!!! This stuff is seriously amazing. With Gelous, I can go about 7 days without chipping, as opposed to 1-2 days!!! AND there's no need for a UV light or a specific brand polish! Here's my...

I've always had problems with textured polishes and dense glitters. No matter what topcoat and basecoat I used with them, I would ALWAYS get chipping within12 hours. Noticeable chipping. The kind...

I've been messing around with UV top coats good for a day and then flakes off, gel colours (which I love but which are a PITA to remove) and then just neglecting my nails. I bought some Gelous...

So disappointed in this. I tried it with 4 different manicures, as a base coat and a top coat, as well as sandwiching it. My nails chipped the following day every time. I will return this and stay...

I bought this for about $7 because a sales person in Sally's suggested it. I don't think it shines anymore than any other topcoat you'd pay $5+ for. It smeared my stripe rite designs and polish...

As a bartender, my nails break, chip, and are very brittle. I started using gelous advanced nail gel coat to do my own uv free shellac nails. I absolutely love it. I have had no problem with my...

This is such a wonderful and versatile product as both a base and top coat. When the no chip gel nail trend hit, of course I ran to the salon to have it done and I fell in love until the removal...

I used this product for a long time and used to love it -- it made a great base coat, helped my nail polish last longer, and helped prevent my nails from peeling (they still peeled on occasion but...

One of the best investments! Worth the $6 something I spent on it. The first time I tried it my polish started to peel off after two days, but that is because I gunked like 7 coats of base, color...

I originally bought this product as a topcoat for hungry glitters. While it is good for that, I've had the most success with this as a base coat for my weak, peely nails. Dries fast when I use for...

I bought this to use as a top coat over glitter polish. I don't use this as a base coat at all for good reason. As a top coat it's wonderful. I like to layer it on, let it dry for awhile, then...

I always use this nail polish. I use it mainly as a base coat, and find that when combined with seche vite it is nearly unstoppable. When my nails are in good condition it helps keep them strong,...

I don't use this product as a base coat, I use it as a no-chip top coat. It works wonders for extending my manicures. I use it in between two coats of Seche Vite because the dry time is long, but...
