Sally HansenSalon Gel Polish Nail Lacquer, Red My Lips, 0.14 Fl Oz

Having my nails look pristine is a staple in my overall aesthetic, but I am HARD on my nails, i.e. I frequently wash my hands, I foster dogs that like to nibble and play, etc. Painting my nails several times a week is too time consuming, and I refuse to pay for expensive salon trips. Therefore, I reviewed at-home gel kits for months before finally deciding to purchase Sally Hansen. reviewed is I made my decision because (a) the majority of the reviews from several websites were positive, (b) I can get the colors from CVS and Ulta which are both close by, and (c) to be honest, I got a gift card from Amazon and this kit was on sale!I am 100% satisfied with this kit, especially for the price I paid. After reading the reviews from several sources, I amended the process in four important ways:1. After I prepped my nails (e.g. filing, shaping, cleaning, etc.), I cleaned each nail with alcohol to get rid of any oil.2. I cured my nails under the UV light TWICE rather than for the 30 seconds it recommended.3. The "Shell We Dance" was a bit light for me, so I used three coats. I have since purchased a different color that only needed two coats.4. I used a bottle of alcohol to clean the tacky mess off my nails when I was done (rather than the alcohol wipes the kit includes). I read the ingredients in the wipes; it is just alcohol. So, I found using my own alcohol with a cotton ball was more effective.I have completed two sets of nails so far, and they have lasted with out chipping for about 9-14 days.PROS:A. Budget friendlyB. Colors, Top-Coat, Base-Coat, etc. can be purchased at local chains such as CVS, Ulta, and WalmartC. The gel shellac is strong and (for me, and I am HARD on my nails) didn't peel or chip *If I did have ONE nail that chipped, I could have fixed it at home instead of making an appointment at a salon!D. Super easy to useCONS:A. Lamp is a bit small, so I had to do my thumbs separatelyB. Time consuming because of the size of the lamp and the need to press the UV light for a second curing. The entire process (cleaning and prepping nails, painting, curing, etc.) took me about 45 minutes both times.C. Quantity: the nail polish allowance is much smaller than normal polish. Just keep this in mind. You get longer wear with gel polish, but it still seems like the colors run out rather quickly, especially if you use more than one coat.OVERALL. . . I will be using this kit for a long time to come. I have received copious comments on how gorgeous my nails look. I've been asked numerous times, "Where do you get your nails done?" It's wonderful to be able to do them at home while watching my favorite show or listening to music. LOVE THIS KIT!

So far I am giving this kit a 5-star rating. I was fortunate and I had two of my salon-manicured nails chip on Saturday so I was able to try out this kit on those two nails. So far so good! It's been three days and there has not been any chipping and I must put in the disclaimer that my nails right now are in horrible condition.In January I reluctantly got acrylics put on my hands and the girl who did them used a drill on the first fill and left ridge marks on my nail beds. I decided to go to another girl and her product started lifting, leaving me with a mold on one of my fingers.One month ago I decided to have the nails removed and go with gel. I knew they would not be strong but I needed to do something. The girl I went to did not soak off the acrylics but used one of those plastic slider things to remove the nails. This left my nails very, very thin and rough.After my first salon gel manicure I had nails chipping and lifting in the first week. I went in to get four of them fixed 10 days later and she used power and glue to strengthen them. I went back 10 days after that to have them all redone.Well, one of the first things I noticed is that the manicurist did not soak off the gel with acetone. Instead she took a shortcut and used the drill to drill them down but there was obvious old gel still on my nails. I asked for power and glue on them all, but still within a week two of them had chipped.As you can imagine, this whole process of trying to have nice nails, from the first acrylic set, has cost a lot of money and way more than I can afford or believe I should be spending on nails ... which is why I bought this kit. I figured if the manicurists can do it, so can I and for a LOT less money.Anyway, I had a lot of trouble getting the old gel (and powder and glue) off my two nails and I probably did not get it all off but the gel is sticking on the two nails I did myself. In fact, applying the product is so easy and it does not take very much time.This weekend I am going to set all my fingers in a bowl of acetone for however long it takes to get all the old gel and glue off. Then I am going to take my time and do a really nice manicure on my own hands.I think this kit is well worth the money, especially when the price is marked right. I purchased some other manicure accessories today. I will already have paid for the kit and the accessories before I get done with my third manicure.
