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 - 4 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 - 11 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

not beginner friendly

Needed an easy, cheap black polish for a goth concert and I'm a male that does not wear polish, but I thought going with the cheapest I could find would work. Boy was I wrong, and I know I'm going to get laughed at in the comments and that's fine. I know I don't need the UV lamp for this one, but it takes soooo long to dry and smudges so easy 🙁 all the other choices were so expensive, I should of went to the dollar store or anywhere else I suppose. The gel does look nice and shiny when it does work though and you manage to wait 2 billion years for it to dry standing still

Cute colors, bad brushes and formulas

I got two polishes from them in the shades Flaunt and Ta-Da! and the their really pretty pastels. However, I can’t stand the brushes and the formulas aren’t great. The brushes are too thick and so is the actual formula. Both these flaws make the polishes kinda tricky to work with. I don’t even think they should be worth more than a dollar.

Awful, sticky, goopy formula

This is the goopiest, most tar-like nail polish I’ve ever used. It clumps up on the brush and paints on terribly, thick and uneven. Not sure why anyone likes this formula. I know you get what you pay for, but it says “UV shine” on the bottle but dries almost matte. Very silly advertising. I used a clear coat as usual but they shouldn’t sell this as something it is the opposite of. Definitely won’t be buying this again. I did love the color though.

Best application yet!

I’ve bought so many different nail polish brands that are about $10 each. Every single one has chipped overnight. This nail polish is the only one that has withstood the overnight test, and the pigment is bold and beautiful!! This is probably my best application yet! I applied 3 very thinnnn coats, and one coat of Quick Dry top coat. I didn’t even pay attention that it was only $3.99, because I was looking for a specific color, but the price is just a bonus! Love it indeed

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 - 2 months 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
