[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the colors! I love the glossy shiny look after my mani. The set is pretty easy to use & goes on beautifully. My complaint is longevity- these peel off so easily. I was expecting to have to work to get them off but I’m having the opposite problem. And I quit using the easy peel base coat and they STILL just peel off. I’m constantly redoing 1 or 2 nails “quick” to keep it lasting. Frustrating & probably not worth the money, sadly. I really wanted to live this set!
Pretty but destroyed my nails

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent lots of money on this gel set and wanted to love it. Longest they stayed on was a week and I was able to repaint them after each week. My nails were so thin and started to curve upward. It's been 2 weeks without anything on them and they still have yet to grow back normally. Very disappointed and wish I could return.
Perfect at home mani

My first attempt was a disaster. Print so small on the instructions that I missed how long to cure the layers. Also very hard to apply thin coats. I put on too thick and then didn’t cure it long enough. Such a mess. The tried to remove and that was a project. What a waste. Not sure I have the patience to try it again. Think I will stick to traditional manis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The system is easy to use. Nails look great. But the peel off system allows for the nails to peel off within days, sometimes, next day. It is not long lasting!
Great kit!

MMM - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
Love this starter set!! I was debating and debating but finally took the plunge. Thin coats are the key to longer lasting and professional looking gel mani. My first trial I used the peel off base (worked beautifully) and a couple of my nails peeled off after 7+ days but of course not the ones that weren't so pretty - those lasted too long and I had to peel them off after 14 days (I couldn't take it lol). I've since done my toes and another round of fingernails. If you have trouble in the begining keep trying and follow the directions because you are worth pretty, shiny nails!!!
Not 21days

21 day wear is a definite stretch; more like 6 days in my case. Followed directions and was so hopeful this set would work better than all the rest. Now stuck with several bottles of nail polish. Would not recommend.

I was hoping it would last a week. I am disappointed.
Sadly the peel off doesn’t last long

Overall it’s a great kit and I’ve been loving it. Ideally if the peel off base coat lasted more than an hour that would be a game changer- that was a huge selling feature but unfortunately it doesn’t work for long term wear. 🥲 that’s the only reason I didn’t give the full 5 ⭐️.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first tried Gel Mani with my sisters on vacation. She loved it so much that when someone stole her first kit she had to buy another, so of course she brought it and we all tried it on vacation! It was fun and easy and mine lasted more than 2 weeks! Another sister and i both bought the kit with the best seller colors. However when I got my brand new kit in the mail the paint color was goopy, thick and harder to apply (I shaked them vigorously too) It left my manicure bumpy since the paint was so goopy. I still like it but was a bit disappointed when a few colors were this way, I have yet to try all the colors. I almost bought a kit for work (to share with coworkers) but was discouraged when the colors didn't seem right. Thanks for listening! Laura

I love this set! I have saved so much money not going to salons and was surprised how long the gel polish stays on for. I also love the peel off gel so I can easily change colors.
It's just ok

It does the job for a quick fix to a manicure, but it does not last nearly as long as a salon style gel manicure.
Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only like clear on my nails. I'm still learning how to best do this, but so far, I love the kit! The gel is so much prettier than polish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely loving this gel manicure system - I’ve had other systems in the past (Red Carpet, OPI, etc. ) but this is by far the easiest and longest lasting. I actually appreciate the steps it takes to give yourself a good looking manicure - gives you a sense of accomplishment!
Great set

Once again, Olive and June did not disappoint. I’ve been using their polish for years and recently invested in the gel system. It’s so easy to use for a salon quality look! I get compliments all the time and asked who does my nails. I always send them to Olive and June!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had pretty much stopped painting my nails because I never have time to go to the salon and when I tried doing it myself, the polish never lasted. It took me one practice round to get the gel system down, and now I love it. It's so easy to do, and the polish looks professional. I can't wait to order more colors!
