    I went from having my nails done professionally for years to doing them myself. They started out so thin it was horrible. Then I discovered ella+mila. I use the Firm Foundation nail hardner, a beautiful polish and the What the Gel gel-like top coat. My nails have never been this strong or healthy! I have got my fingers caught on things and my nails didn't break. I will never use any other product again! Love you ella+mila!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This top coat is great! It makes me polish last upwards of a week and a half with minimal wear and tear. Highly recommend if you regularly change your polish at home and want a bit more space between polish changes.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live that the product has little to mo oder. Applys smoothly onto nails and has improved nail health. However, my manis have not lasted more than a couple days before the polishes start to chip and by day 5, I am needing to change it. Otherwise, I like the colors and the ridge filler is my favorite!

    I don’t know what is in this product, but this what the gel topcoat is the best topcoat( I use it as a base code as well. Mix my polish last forever.) is the best product I’ve ever purchased and I keep buying it over and over again. I’m 55 years old and I’ve been doing my own nails forever. This is the best product. Thank you for making it. Actually got on this site to purchase it AGAIN !

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The look of this top coat is very nice. and very gel-like. I even had a couple of people ask if I had gel polish on. However, the reason for 2.5 stars and not 4 or 5 is that it's a little "sticky" for lack of a better term, even after it's dry. It also has a "nail polish" smell for a few days even after it's dry. It's the only one in all the polishes I have from Ella + Mila that does this.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love this Gel Polish! I have never had the Gel Manicure, but decided to try... it made a difference! My nail polish stays on longer and it does an amazing job.... Ordered more to keep in stock! Give it a try and see how it works for you! Please RE-STOCK JOJOBA polish remover- another favorite!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn’t seem to be any different from a normal topcoat. My polish began cracking and chipping the very next day. It’s not worth the money in my opinion.

    It was too thick, took forever to dry, and some of my nails had the dreaded sheet marks. it chipped fairly easily. Hard to remove with soy remover. I prefer in a rush top coat

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this top coat but it is almost impossible to remove with regular polish remover. Any certain kind I should use or just use acetone? Thanks

    Ella & Mila Finally responded to my issue of receiving a broken product. I did not have to send in the broken container just photos and they were able to resend a new product quickly with a complementary gift. The products I have used have been wonderful and do not chip.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am actually quite surprised I figured for sure that I would have the polish on for About two days and then it would start to chip. It’s already been a week and no chips.

    I was disappointed in this product. It made my nails look “wrinkly” after using. Also, takes too long to dry. I bought 2 bottles thinking I’d love it, but now I’m stuck with 2 bottles I’ll end up throwing away. The “In a Rush” product works so much better!
