Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro | Gel Like Base and Top Coat Set | Delivers High Shine and Extended Manicure Wear | No Lamps, No Tools, No Damage to Nails

I decided to kick the $60+ a month nail salon habit.I spent a fortune on home gel polish systems that had great reviews but I had the same problem with all of them: The gel polish would take forever to remove with 100% acetone and dry my skin to the point of flaking.I started using Deborah’s base coat and top coat with her color polishes. Fabulous! Such a game changer. It lasts me a week which is perfect because the worst part of salon gels was wearing the same color for 3-4 weeks.Dries fast and my weak nails are strong.

I like these products. It makes my life easier. Many of my friends like to go to the salon to have their nails done. Not me. I don't like to take the time to go to the salon. I use these Gel Lab Pro products and while it isn't exactly the same as salon nails, it's close enough for me. After using Lippmann for quite a while, I have a pro tip: make sure you don't have lotion or any cleanser residue or anything on your nails. It will interfere with the adhesion of the base product. Any interference with the base will limit the length of time the polish will remain on the nails. And BE SURE to use Lippmann nail polish. And BE SURE to use the Top Coat because it protects the strength of the nail polish. The times when I have skipped the Top Coat, I regretted it because the polish chipped. When I use the Top Coat, my nails can last quite a while, without a thought.

I've been using this product for 4 years now and it's never let me down. My color lasts much longer with this base and top coat than with other higher end brands - and I've tried a lot! Doesn't hurt that one of my friends is a manicurist and recommended it. She said a few things were key: 1- to buff your nails 2 - apply a super thin layer of the base and top coat 3 - be patient (ha ha!) and wait for each layer to dry. I'm the most impatient person on earth, so that was asking a lot but it made a huge difference. When I let everything dry before I add another coat, my manicure can last 2 weeks - no joke. Yes, its' a bit of a splurge but it is worth every penny compared to doing your nails at the salon. I get the same results but at a much cheaper price. Plus I make it a fun day - I set aside 2 days out of the month for self-pampering. That's when I do all my womanly upkeep a the same time: mani, pedi, brows, face and hair masks. Gotta do what you can to look good!

Love this brand. First two polishes lasted a good 3 weeks. Problem is that top coat gel got very thick quickly. Was wonderful, long lasting when new.

My 80 year old toes 3 months after a pedicure using this basecoat, topcoat and Deborah Lippmann polish. The color is Lady is a Tramp. Still shiny with no chips. Like a Gel treatment but no heat or lamps, just polish. I have used it for years with a good experience every time.

Chips are one day, so disappointed. Followed the steps as outlined in instructions. Waited the correct amount of time between layers. The pink is the same brand - purchased together. Even gave myself time before doing anything to be sure everything had time to dry and set. Bought in hopes for it to last longer than 24hrs. Very unfortunate to make such an investment for this poor of a product.

Product was thick and didn't go on smooth. Very disappointed with quality. Polish lasted only two days before started to chip and wear.

I have purchased this product many times, though one my shipments did not perform well and disappointed. The base coat seemed to not adhere to the nail, so experienced the nail polish peeling off all together on a nail in 1-3 days. I did get in contact with manufacturer and they provided a replacement after discussing the issues. My next set was good, so will continue to keep using.
