Long lasting but stains after removal
3 out of 5 stars
xo - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
With well prepped cuticles, this nail polish will last perfectly for well over a week. It’s pretty easy to remove, with a little more effort than regular polish but nothing crazy. However, this polish stained my nails so badly. You can see exactly where the polish was and the stain is not coming off even after multiple tries with nail polish remover. This was specifically with rock the runway (red). I haven’t tried other colors so I can’t speak for them but it’s definitely something to keep in mind!
Finally the nail polish problem has been solved

I am blown away. I spend $45 on dip nails and they chip around 10 days and ruin my nails (if I peel off the dip). I am on day 7 with this nail polish and no chips! Saving so much money and also love the top coat as it makes the nails look like a gel manicure. Highly recommend!

Terrible. Chipped in less than 24 hours. Unable to return since it was used. Very spendy so very frustrating

Hi there! We are disappointed to hear about your experience with our Gel Couture Polish in the shade You Ca-Dy It, and that you had chipping. We will share this information with our teams. For Best results we suggest always using a Top Coat like our Gel Couture Top Coat after polishing. We hope this information is helpful and you give it another try!
Great polish!

I love this gel nail polish because it dries super fast, which is perfect when you’re in a hurry. The top coat gives it that shiny, Shelic look that makes your nails look straight out of the salon but way cheaper! Definitely recommend getting both the color and top coat bottles for the full effect. It’s been my go to for easy, long lasting manicures at home.

I rarely leave reviews for things like this, but reading some of the bad reviews, I thought it could be helpful to other buyers to know a couple of things. The dry time is actually super fast on these BUT, the color (step one) is sticky until you add the top coat (step two). It is a two step system and it is necessary to use both steps to get the results you want. The red color stained my nails, but none of the other colors have done that. But I haven’t ever used a red polish that doesn’t stain my nails… and to have a polish that doesn’t chip? I’ll take it.
Beautiful and durable

Love the color. Looks super glossy with top coat. One week in and no chips (while doing all the regular stuff around the house/work all week).

The Bling It version is sooooo thin. It takes at least 3 coats for it too look nice. I’m so disappointed with this product.

Target did a poor job packing nail polish bottles. The only protection in the box was papers. The glass bottles were NOT bubble wrapped or any additional wrapping. There was only a big piece of paper as protection in the box which did NOT protect at all. Just be aware of this when buying online.

Polish went on uneven, and dried almost instantly. When I went to apply 2nd coat the polish started to come up. Started chipping the next day, now I can’t get the polish off. i’ve tried nail polish remover, soaking and using tin foil. I can only get it off if I pick it off. I would not use the gel polish again.
Staining

Ya’ll need to start specifying what color you bought when leaving reviews. Anyway, I got Dopamine Rush and it’s a beautiful color, but holy crap it stained my nails for weeks.

It doesn’t apply evenly, I did 4 coats and can see uneven streaks on a couple nails. It also takes a very long time to dry. I regret buying it.

Gaby - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
The color is so beautiful. But the drying time is not good. I tried two times one i thought i did layers too thick so that why I believe it did not dry good. The second time I tried, I made sure to do thin layers but even then, the next day put some socks on and the sock got stuck to the color. I was beginning to think I had to cure it but it does not say anything about it.

This is the perfect pinky-red. I wear it all the time! It usually lasts well over a week without chipping and sometimes it doesn’t chip at all.

Antonia - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Tried the color Fairy Taylor. Love it! It’s a little transparent but pretty, I feel like I got an expensive ombré French tip!(I did 3 layers in pics) Very classy and nice. Looks good on brown skin and probably every skin color! Gave 4 stars because of drying time, but it’s good quality so I don’t mind much. I do 2 layers wait 30 minutes between layers. Let dry overnight do the third in the morning or that night. (Let dry for at least hour if you do.) These are my real nails been trying to grow them naturally! P.s don’t like it on my toes need a whiter color for them ♥️

I got the light pink. Its a beautiful color but it never dries! the polish feels sticky. I might need to try the top coat to help the color last. I put 3 coat of nail polish.
