I have to say my favorite is Shellac. I find it easiest to apply and certainly easiest to remove. However...I also really like Gelish, with Eco coming in third. I love the Eco colors, but just can't seem to get the application down so that the darker colors apply evenly. The Gelish colors are awesome as well, but I seem to struggle with the removal, even after etching the TIO. Tho I like Shellac the best, the color offerings are just boring, even with layering. So... there's no one perfect system. HTH
