My review of this product so far... I said I would let you all know after I used it for a bit. This is just my personal humble opinion :)
I am blown away by Gelish. I called in the two clients that I always had the worst issues with natural nail manicures lasting very long. I wanted to put this product to the test. I was only getting 3 days on their natural nail manicures in the past ( with regular polish) and was completely frustrated with not being able to get them to last longer on these two ladies. I never got into other soak off gels in the past because I did not like how the structure of the nail and some of the surface inconsistencies appeared - it just wasn't as smooth as I would like. I also did not like the bulk of the product and was waiting for something that was a thinner consistency. So I had the two difficult clients come in to get a Gelish manicure and they both chose a dark color. Today is day 9 and they are still going strong. They are both extremely happy and very impressed. I also did a spa party and did Gelish Manicures on 2 new clients and I heard from the party host that they are wowed by the product and just LOVE it. I personally wear acrylic on my nails because I don't like the shape of my natural nail and when wearing any regular polish the true shape of my nail was obvious through the polish and when I tried other SOG's the bulk of the product bothered me. So last night I took the Gelish and a similar color in another brand ( popular, expensive, pot type) I am able to use both hands when doing nails but I am left hand dominant. I put the pot type SOG on my right hand and I put gelish on my left hand. There was no doubt about it. The Gelish was CLEARLY thinner, smooth and really... I could not find ANY flaw. It smoothed out my nails and made my natural nail look like great ! I do want to see how long it lasts on my nails because I have hand acrylic on my hands for so long that I have no idea the wear on me yet. I will let you know. All I know is as soon as more colors are released, they are MINE ! Using this product makes me want to try Hand & Nail Harmony's Traditional gel line and that is saying something because I am using Masterworks right now and totally happy with it.
