Base Coat & Top Coat

I haven't used the matte top coat yet, but I have used the base coat & topcoat. Mixed with the Modelones nail primer & nail prep dehydrator, my color has adhered wonderfully & has stayed looking great!Little backstory:I'm the girl who has NEVER been able to make polish look even remotely professional! If I polished my own nails, it looked like my 9 year old did it. Which, to be honest, my 9 year old probably knows more about nail care than me! I could probably count on one hand the amount of times that I've actually removed overgrown cuticles myself verses going to the salon. I've probably only ever touched a nail file maybe 20 times in my life & THAT was simply to file a sharp snag from a break or crack in the tip of my nail! Most of my polishes, files & clippers were either over 10 years old or belong to my daughter!However, thanks to COVID, paying for the convenience of a nail salon isn't the easiest thing to accomplish in Michigan at the moment. If the salon isn't all the way closed, you need an appointment to he seen. Of which, you can't really get anytime before April 😔. So I decided it was time for me to give it a go myself!👀... I mean... I trim my animals nails all the time! My kiddos nails too! And never ONCE did either the tiny humans OR the animals need emergency services afterwards! So there's THAT!My Pinterest projects always seem to come out great even though I swear I don't have a creative bone in my body! There's THAT too!If I can do crafty things & trim nails without causing blood lost or the need for emergency medical care...than doing my own nails shouldn't be THAT difficult right?! 😬I spent weeekkkks researching brands, nail tools, supplies and anything else that would be needed. Literally. Weeks. FINALLY I decided on what I would need to order for my newly acquired at home nail salon!I ordered gel kits, nail dipping kits, polygel kits, nail tips & nail forms, glue on nails, a UV/LED light lamp & essentially... EVERY. SINGLE. nail tool known to man! I'm still not sure what most of them are for! In fact, I have NO IDEA what 1/2 of this stuff is! 😂Soooooo obviously, this was my first time applying my own gels at home...It actually wasn't too bad! Certainly not the nightmare I had imagined!!with that said, I'm on day 6 of application & there are a few (very few...maybe 2-4 small areas) bumps. Just tonight (again, day 6) I noticed 3 tiny (so tiny almost naked to the eye) chips at the tips of my nails & most likely, it's because they weren't capped well enough. The step by step directions included in this kit made it VERY user friendly & SUPER simple for a clueless beginner as myself! I plan on ordering this product again and again and again!!

I've bought this brand several times. The product is quality. The top coat dries under the light in about 90 seconds. Lasts for a few days as long as you apply it correctly. Thin layers, and capping the top edge of the nail. It's my go to!

The media could not be loaded. I've been using gel polish for years and never had a no-wipe top coat. Finally decided to get this set and I'm very glad I did!It does exactly what it is supposed to do - the base coat does seem to be tacky after normal cure time, but it works just perfectly.The top coat finish is just as shiny as the wipe kind. The only difference I've noticed is that when I swipe my nails against certain surfaces.. it feels a bit sticky. It isn't wet at all, just a slight tugging feeling when my nails brush over certain surfaces. Weird but not a big deal.I still find these easy to peel off with no damage after a few weeks when I need to re paint my nails. As you can see in my photos I went over 2 weeks between my first time using this set and when I swapped my polish and it was in pretty good shape. I also wash my hands excessively so I'm impressed with how long they lasted.Definitely buy these, they are great! They came in a cute little box too.

I have not had a chance to use the base coat on my nails but did test it on a surface to see if it had the (right feel). It does have just enough tacky to let you know you will get good adhesion with your gel polish. The top coat is thick but not too thick. Easy to spread even and sort of self levels to smooth. It really cures to a high gloss shine. I am using it to delay having to completely do a full fill and Gel polish on my nails for now. The feel and finish is as good as a salon product. If I go back to the salon I will try and pay more attention and see if they are using this product as well. They have so many different items it is hard to keep track. But I would guess some salons would use G&E for the value and ease of use. I will be sure and recommend this to my daughter who also does her own nails. I bought this set for the price but really think it is high end. I also like that is comes in a box together and not just wrapped in bubble wrap and separate from each other. Easy to store in the little black plastic holder tray that comes inside the box. Nice touch.

I use to settle for modelones base and top coat because I couldn't find anything better. But I still hated it. The base was fine but the top coat was always inconsistent. Some spots would be shiny while others were dull or matte. Plus it would always be sticky around the edges of the nail when fully cured. Even with thin, fully cured coats it felt like it never fully cured because it wasn't as stiff as it should be. Then I found this. I was skeptical because the price was so cheap. The base was fine. The top coat knocked it out of the park. It leaves a beautiful clear coat with no stickiness. It is very consistent and strong. This will be my new base and top coat.Update- ordered more, they arrived with bottles empty and top and base coats spilled all in the box.

I used the top and base coat to do a gel manicure. I have been doing my own nails at home since COVID. I wanted to try a no wipe base coat. I was hesitant, but boy am I glad that I decided to give this a try! It went on smooth and easy! It wasn’t thick or sticky or difficult to use at all. It cured excellent and my manicure came out wonderful! It is shiny and I keep staring at it and smiling! I used this base and top coat and silver glitter explosion from Gelish. This will be my go to top and base coat! I hope they don’t stop selling it! I also used the GA&EN tools for cuticles and it is amazing! I will definitely be looking to see what other products they have to purchase. This came packaged very well and the customer service is top notch! Quality products and great customer service is very important to me! I love it!

Works it’s great
