They are bad. I ASSume that the Gelez and the Gelaq are the same
formulations since they are owned by the same company. Had I realized
this, I wouldn't have purchased from both lines. As it stands, I have
the base and top plus three colors from each. The base coats are
exactly the same (and they suck!). I applied it, cured it, and dry
brushed it. Color still went on like water. It takes three coats to
get good coverage.
To add insult to my injured pocket book, they crack and chip. Exactly
what we are looking for in a gel polish.........

I gave Gelez's Sin City and Candy Apple and they both chip horribly.
I don't use their base coat, so that could be why, but nothing else
chips like that.
