Description

Gel Extreme Shine Gel-Like Polish!
The stars, diamonds, or the future, nothing will shine as bright as you or your manicure babe! Gel Extreme Shine Gel-Like Polish has a high shine finish that shines like a gel and lasts longer than a traditional nail polish. The best part is the damage-free, easy removal, and no need for a UV light. Say goodbye to salon wait times and UV lights, this polish gives you all the shine without the fuss. Choose from a range of neutral, pastel, neon, or dark polish colors to match your mood. Our new rounded-tip, 440 bristle count brush coats nails from cuticle to tip with ease (we already did the counting). Nails will look tip top, just like you.

To apply, start with clean dry nails that have already been trimmed and buffed. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick layer and allow time to dry in between each coat to reduce chipping, peeling, and smudging (we promise it’s worth the wait). Finish with a topcoat to have even longer lasting wear.
Pro Tip: Swipe polish just over the tip of each nail for every coat to seal the edges of your polish and reduce chipping.

Q: I understand it doesn't require a UV light. But can I use one with this polish to cut down on the drying time?

submitted by Kay - 2 months ago

  • A: Hey there! Great question! This is a gel-like polish, not a true UV/LED-cured gel formula, so using a UV/LED lamp won't make it dry faster (it's designed to air-dry). For quicker dry time, apply thin coats and finish with a quick-dry top coat.

Q: How do I get this nail polish off? Nail polish remover does t seem to work

submitted by Tucsongal - 10 months ago

  • A: Thanks for reaching out! Our L.A. Girl Gel-Like Shine Nail Polish is designed to give you the high-shine look of a gel manicure—without the need for curing under a lamp and without requiring a special remover. If you're having trouble removing it, here are a few tips to help with more stubborn polish: Use an acetone-based nail polish remover for best results. Or soak a cotton pad with remover, place it on your nail, and wrap it in foil for a few minutes to help loosen the polish. a tip is to gently rub with a clean pad or cotton ball to lift off the color. We hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. L.A. Girl Team

pretty in pink

The LA Colors Gel Polish Pink is a great everyday polish, my daughter absolutely loves it. It dries pretty quickly and goes on smooth, which makes it super easy to use. The only downside is I wish the pink was a little deeper, but overall still a solid pick.

Target RED polish

I bought L.A. Girl red gel-like polish at Target and tried it out♥I love it♥. The formula is thick, the color is accurate, and it dries quickly. Overall, it’s an excellent product.

Missing quality

This nail polish goes on very thin and doesn't stay on well. I will pay more for better quality next time.
1 reply from L.A. Girl Product Expert team - 11 days ago
Thank you so much for trying our L.A. Girl Gel Nail Polish and for sharing your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear it went on thin and did not last as long as you hoped. For a fuller, longer lasting finish, we usually recommend starting with clean, dry nails, applying a base coat, then building 2 to 3 thin coats of color, allowing each layer to dry before adding a top coat and gently capping the free edge of the nail. These steps can help the color look more opaque and wear better while still keeping that gel like shine. We truly appreciate you giving L.A. Girl a try and hope these tips help you get a result you love.

Skip this whole line

This is a horrible formula. It’s opaque but shear. That will make sense to a polish enthusiast.

Dont buy it!

Worst nail polish ever. Literally would chip the same day, and comes out super thick, so makes it hard to paint your nails. Super disappointed

Varying smells from different colors

Whilst using GNL921 Flex, GNL919 Good Vibes Only and GNL925 Bazinga in a tricolor design my boyfriend said that the latter of the 3 had a distinctive stronger odor than the previous 2 colors listed.
He can smell blue?

Love the product

The pink ‘Desire’ color is the perfect hot pink for me, for summer. I wore it all summer long, and am impressed with the quality. Two coats, with a couple minutes in between, topped with Seche Vite immediately, and I was good to go in 10 minutes for 2 weeks. I use the black as well in winter, and highly favor this brand.

Gets The Job Done

Nice polish, you do need multiple coats to get a good covering though. It dries really quickly, but that also causes issues while you're polishing your nails, it starts to dry a bit on the brush before you even finish your nails. The colors looks great (after a few coats) it's super shiny and lasts longer than regular polish. I recommend these if you don't want to go get your nails done. This was on sale so I got 2 for a great price.

Still not dry after an hour

Bought on a whim because I didn't have time to get a pedi before I trip. I should have made time. This polish goes on lumpy. After putting on a few coats to make it look presentable, it still isn't dry after an hour.

Great Formula!!!!

I usually buy indie brands as they are more pigmented. So when I bought this I was highly impressed!!! The application was flawless and the shine was incredible. I would love being a promoter and buying all the colors!!! Definitely have a customer for life!

Best affordable polish that lasts

Ran out of money for a professional pedicure for an upcoming girls trip. Bought this in pink and their top coat. Prepped nails (cuticles, buff nail beds). Use two thin-normal coats allowing to completely dry in between. Finish with their top coat. I had the most beautiful $6 pedicure that lasted for weeks without chipping until I removed with 100% acetone. The pink color is super bright, great for the beach and it didnt stain my toenails. I tell everybody about this polish.

"Rio" pink is more orange than pink

I really liked apple-colored pink in the photo for Rio so I ordered it online (not availabe at Target near me). I was surprised to see the color in person - it was more orange than pink. I compared it to an orange nail polish (Sally Hansen) I owned and they were identical.
