Gelish Fantastic Four Essentials Kit – Long-Lasting, Chip-Free Shine, Durable Finish, Complete Professional Manicure System for Salon-Quality Nails at Home

This is definitely the best quality gel set I’ve ever used. I’ve used DND and CND in the past, but this has been the strongest by far. I’m currently on day 7 of my manicure that I do at home, and it still looks as perfect as it did on the first day. I’m a mom to littles, and I tend to be hard on my hands/fingernails, but this has held up wonderfully. The color I’m using I is Red Alert my Gelish also. Good nail prep is definitely most important though! Don’t skip that part. I believe that has also helped this hold up as well as it has. I also purchased the Multi Surface Nail Cleanser by Gelish after buffing and before putting on your pH bond. I have been trying to grow my nails out, and not bite them so much and I can tell this will help greatly. I’m excited to get to eventually try out the other colors I have purchased. Highly recommend!

I've been doing my own gel polish with builder gel sets since 2013. I was really loyal to a certain set from a box box beauty retailer, but they changed their formula a year ago and I had to start looking for another. I thought that was one great, but my nails would still chip on the corners or break and I really didn't think much of it. I tried a few off brands on Amazon and felt they were a downgrade and really difficult to soak off. I finally found this Gelish kit and I am in love! My nails are long, healthy, and this polish is strong enough to keep my corners from chipping! It soaks off well, which also contributes to a more healthy nail, and it doesn't peel on the edges (so that I don't peel the edges more...)! I'm so impressed that I just had to write a review about it. The kit is reasonably priced and the bottles are large. I'm not sure how long they will stay potent given their full bottle size, but I'm willing to replace as frequently as needed at this fair price. Don't waste your time trying other kits, just get this one!

This set is a good investment! Especially compared to the other gel base and top coats that I've used in the past (that usually came with kits), these just feel like quality. The bottles are large and sturdy, and the bristles of the brushes are the perfect length and thickness for an even and smooth manicure. The gels glide on easily without being too runny, and they cure quickly and stay glossy. The ph bond has definitely boosted the longevity of my manicures, and not just for gel. When I prep the nail bed properly and use this stuff, I can go weeks without the lifting around the edges I had just accepted as my fate because of my thin nails. It works with my dip powder, too. The cuticle oil has a noticeable scent like essential oils that I find pleasant, and it quickly revitalizes my cuticles after the damage of filing and soaking in acetone. I have used this gel with other gel brands, dip systems, acrylic, and regular polish to seal it in, and it always works well.

Good product that works!

Love the Gelish products!

Overall, I have good luck with the application of this product, but this polish peels off of my nails very easily. I purchased this because i had read that this polish doesn't chip or peel, and it does both for me. I really love the different applicator brushes and think all of them are well suited to their particular product. I like the short brush for the base coat.

I have a 20 year old daughter that does nails and she swears by this brand for the base and top coat. It doesn't get sticky and clump like so many others. I buy her these every year for her Christmas stocking.

Works well, love the brushes, cures perfectly.
