I LOOOOOOOVE how you came out the gate with raw honesty. This is something that I appreciate. You are open, honest, and give genuine reviews. Not only did you make me laugh but when I searched “best gel polishes” ur video was the first to come up so naturally I clicked yours. This is the exact video ie as looking for. This has so many views but for some reason not as many followers on your channel. YOU DESERVE MORE so the best I can do is make ur sub count go up atleast 1. You have my sub now. Thanks girl for the realness , you deserve all the success. Keep this up. Stay you be true to your beliefs and stay strong through adversity. You fcking rock. Thanks again.
ALSO. Have you tried leminimacaron?
This is so helpful, thank you! I never heard of a lot of these since I'm just starting out.
I don’t understand the down thumbs from viewers. There is so much info you gave it’s made things so much simpler!
People are jealous.
I think she probably called their nail polish they liked bad 🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️
Their probably from competitors who don’t know shit!

Exactly
Excellent review. I love my gel nails!!!! Could not leave without it. Takes me 2 hours including doing my manicure but to me is therapeutic and worth it.
I absolutely love IBD Just Gel polish. I was blown away, really good formulation and had lasted longer than OPI gel polish I've used
Thank you for the tip ☺️
@@oliviakim7613 you're welcome 😊
How long does it last ? I'm looking for long lasting gel polish for press on nails
@@eceyaz9418 lasts good about a week
@@laranini9660 @Lara Nini a week is a very short period for a gel manicure to last, are you referring to the OPI or the IBD lasting a week?
My favorite glitter gel polish is Gelaze in “Fairy Dust”!!!!! It’s GORGEOUS!!
Wow thank you for this review, I just bought the Aimeli kit on amazon due to the reviews, haven't tried it yet and I was so unsure which to get, I was choosing from a few of these brands and it was a hard call so this video really helped thanks, Subscribed now
This is helpful thank you! I am new to gel and got a few bottles of kiara sky to start with, but they are expensive. I am wondering how their polish compares to the brands you mentioned.
To be honest, Kiara Sky’s dip is much better than the gels. I have 4 of their gels and they only last me about a week to 10 days without chipping. They’re good but not great. CND, Madam Glam, and Dimension Nails are still my favorites.
I was thrown in for a loop with the drastic change in opinion for the arte clavo shade since I just watched your first video on this topic and you praised it. 😳 I wonder what happened with that shade between the first time you reviewed it and after?
Regardless, this was very informational as I'm trying to decide on a gel kit to buy.
Very helpful! But what gel polish is great for pigment powder on top?
Very in depth thank you for this! Seems like I made the right choice in buying CND even though its expensivvvvve
How did you buy CND? I want to buy it but I don’t a like a salon license
Ashley Stankovsky Marshalls!
Thank you. Can you share your best gel base and top coats to use with dip powder? I usually like to change my mani after a week, just to try a different color, but am most interested in ease of removal more than very long lasting gel (2-3 weeks). I don't need that. Love gel but detest how long the removal takes.
YESSSS!!!! I’ve tried the RED CARPET brand several times and HATE it!! It literally never cures! I was wondering if anyone else ever had this problem as well! Thank you!
Hi ! Thanks a lot for this review ! It was very helpfull. As u said u r gelish ambassador , I would like know do u know any distributors of gelish as I want a good number of polishes.
You have to try the Sally Hansen salon gel polish! It’s the perfect consistency and lasts forever with no chip for me. My favorite even compared to more common brands.
Lily i do agree but for cheaper brand i like venalissa

Location please. In Kenya
I have the same Gershion top and base coats but mine doesn't smell. I am sensitive to strong smells ever since my first pregnancy but I can't seem to smell anything from it.
Wow! You’re excellent! Thanks for your recommendations!
Can you do a vid on which is a really good nail lamp? Too many negative reviews on Amazon! Maybe EBay?
Thank you for your show. You have some Products that I have ever seen even on the Internet thank you .
Hi, would like to ask you which your favorite long lasting shellac is (not glittery, just normal colors which are especially long lasting) ? Except cnd because they’re hardly available in Germany and also very expensive and I can’t differentiate between forgery and original at cnd. I would be thankful and I like your honest review about all the brands I just couldn’t figure out which of your favs has been the best about lasting :).
CND is the only shellac brand I work with. For gels Dimensional Nails, Madam Glam, and ASP have been my go-to long lasting gel brands:)
Nice video💜💖💜 you were in my recommend videos I'm subbing you
Thank you for uploading this. Do peel off gel base coats work?
Lanni W most of them do work. Depends on the brand.
Helpful, thank you❣️
You're the reason I only purchase CND Shellac and Madam Glam as a new at home gel user. Thanks so much for the great recommendations. I'm still trying to figure out which brand overall is my favorite but I agree that CND shellac is best for manicures and Madam Glam is best for manicures. I wish the brush for Madam Glam was a little smaller so I'm thinking about purchasing smaller brushes to reuse for application, especially for pedicures. Also, they have a no wipe top coat but I always forget and wipe it with alcohol anyway. Lol
Glad I was able to steer you in the right direction!
where do u purchase it from ? I heard u need to be certified to get real shellac nail polish online otherwise they are all fake and peel right away
@@roxannebennett5809 I purchase CND Shellac from eBay and Madam Glam from their website.
I bought cnd off eBay but was nut shellac , was fake
@@roxannebennett5809 I buy my Shellac from my friend who is a licensed nail tech, and I have also found some colors that did not sell well originally at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Both were authentic and lasted a very long time. I hope this helps.
ASP, IBD and gelish are the best! i love ASP the most though. more affordable
Any thoughts on venalisa? The price is super tempting.
Wonderful Video. Thank You for all the honest reviews. Can you mix and match brands? I read below that your favorite Base Coat is Madam Glam, favorite Top Coat is Dimension Nails No-Wipe Top Coat, and for manicure polish you like CND & ASP. Can all 3 of those different brands be used at the same time/same gel manicure?
Another question I have is how long should you Cure (with my Gelish LED Lamp) my Base Coat, Gel Polish Color & then my Top Coat for? I recently used All ASP products (cured each step for 30 seconds each) and at the end when I used their cleaner to clean the top coat off my nails/gel manicure like th instructions said but my gel manicure felt soft and mushy and some of the color ended up rubbing off onto my lint free wipe cotton round.
Following on the question if you can mix and match brands? I am interested if I could use Shellac top and base coat with Gelaze polish in between?
I heard people having problems with ASP saying it makes their nails soft yikes not good
I really like ASP. I just started doing my own gel nails and have had no issues. They cure perfectly and my weak nails are actually growing. I don't grow too long though as I type allot.
I have the fingerpaints light. I also have the ASP products too. I have not had issues with polish not curing. Maybe it is your light?
Thank you for sharing the links :)
Hi, thank you for this video. Can you recommend your favorite top and base coat. Thanks in advanced 😁
Favorite top coat: no-wipe top coat from Dimension Nails
Favorite base coat: Madam Glam's base
Wow red carpet been good to me I have black on now last 3 weeks on me.
This was a great video have you tried any of the Amazon polishes ?
This is what I'm trying to find. There are a million random brands on there.
Hi im a new subscriber what do u think of the Gleam brand on etsy?
Loving the honesty, much appreciated. And the sass
Hopefully I picked a good brand…..
Do you have to cure the base coat once before doing the polish?
where did u purchase ur CND nail polish?
May I ask what camera are you using? Everything is so clear! Im trying to find a camera to take professional photos.
Cheers Girl, great video👍
Maybe try a brand called Artistic Nail Design. They not too bad! Their bottles are absolutely stunning! I love Madam Glam. Some other brands that i like are BioSculpture and IBD have stunning colours!
Does anyone knows about how long does DND last on manicure?
What lamp do you like?
I used modelones gel brand it caused sensitivity around the nail area and on my body if you know a safe product plzz name it to me
I use red carpet and don’t have a problem with it at all. Lasts 3 weeks easily too.
Hi! I'm not really sure if you're still replying to comments ahaha, but I've been using my 2 sensational gels for a long time now but they've just started chipping in only a day and peel off super easily(I use a gelish foundation and top coat), I always take out all the oil from my nails and hand beforehand but they still just keep popping off, am I overusing the led light? Or maybe not enough time?
Use a ph balancer like young nails swipe to clean nails after you file and sand shine off nails.
@@skinnydog4 I already do though, I have a lot of prep items
Are you using the base and top coat for that particular brand? Some brands cant be mixed with other products due to formulation. Say you use base coat from one brand that requires a 48 watt cure and your color coat brand only requires a 30.watt cure. When u put the base coat in an under rated light , it wont cure properly and can cause peeling etc. Always look at the cure wattage on each product and make sure they have the same curing requirements
@@skinnydog4 no I have the gelish fantastic four, base, topcoat, foundation, and nourish nail oil
Very helpful Thanks for sharing
Can you use the sensationail light for the brands you mentioned, I just wasn’t sure if some need stronger or not? I’m new to gel so I wasn’t sure
I am unfamiliar with how many watts that LED lamp has. I recommend a 54-Watt lamp with a low heat setting.
@@polish.lover2129 great thank you!
Do you need the CND lamp with the CND polish?
can you try the beetles rainbow gel polish set? i cant seem to find any video reviews on it
Beetles the worst gel
There's videos on Beetles gel review now. I would send the links but I guess TH-cam doesn't do that anymore?
But I also have Beetles and with my bundle all the colors are as expected except the red. The red is lighter than I thought but that usually happens with most nail/gel polish I get. It's not bad, especially for the price but I'm still trying other brands too
Hi Polish lover. I use mainly shellac & the gel bottle and see you use lots of different brands. Do you have problems mixing systems? or are you fairly cool with mixing systems. which would you recommend for gel nail art? Thanks
I typically like to use a shellac base coat with a shellac color, and vise versa for gel. Yet, I use the same 54W LED lamp to cure all of the colors.
@@polish.lover2129 can you share which lamp do you use? Thank you
Which brand do you find easiest to remove?
Thank you 💗 for this. I have never stepped in a salon. I am frustrated with regular nail polish as it lasts 1-2 days. I am ready to invest in gel, where should I start? I would like to do it at home. Base/Top coat, lamp, and probably black,red pink shades...for manicures. Please help. Or this could be a video topic. Thank you so much.
I like the beetles bare collection. It’s on amazon it comes with base, top & matte coat. It’s affordable & if you don’t like it you can simply return
😂😂
Sensationail gel polish kit from Walmart. Includes everything, including UV lamp. Under $30. Lasts for at least 2 weeks. Just make sure you cap off the end of your nails when applying coats- that’s what makes mani last longer, delays chipping, etc.
Anybody have thoughts on venalisa?
Aimeili literally gave me a nail fungus infection. I’m now super scared to paint my nails again any thoughts/ tips? They are almost all grown out but I hate having bare nails
Are you a certified nail technician?
If so then any gel polish you can buy from a beauty store should be good. I am talking about the ones where you need to be certified to order from.
I've used it never a problem... if the bottle is new no gel could give a fungal infection ..
but inadequate prep definitely can. I ALWAYS recommend even with polish...wash nails with alcohol 1st...can happen with polishes too.but since not sealed or last as long not usually a culprit.
I agree polish does not cause fungus
I love the aimeili brand. I only have about 34 of their colours as it's hard to get here in Australia. But I've had no problems with them. I've used it on myself, my kids and friends kids. And if you prep your nails properly and use their primer I find the polish will last 3 weeks. Although I used a purple on my daughter and it's lasted a month of course there is a fair bit of chipping by this point though
Thank you so much for this video
So you can use the gel polish w/o using acrylic underneath, right?
Correct! Gel can be applied to natural nails.
Yes of course it can be used on natural nails, acrylic, gel extentions, polygel, dip powder I can't really think of something it can't be used on :)
You should try Modelones. Great colors, great price, and
wears really well 3-4 weeks.
as a pink girlie i want to start getting aimeili polishes right this second
Have you tried NSI? or Luxio? or Gelish? which do you think is better (also to compare with madam glam) :) ?
Gelish is reallyyyy good x
Can you list the LEAST BURN polish brand?
still watching but the laguna moon looks like if you put some thinner in it, it would be IMMACULATE!
ou same with the gelpolish brand..whew they are SO thick..!
I use Enail and mine were super thick and wrinkling or would crack within a few days..ever since thinning them, mine and my clients have had minimal issues! I hope you can save the laguna moon at least lol
I believe that is the wrong topcoat for the China glaze Gelàze. The Ever Glaze topcoat is for the extended wear line that does not require to be cured. The gel topcoat comes in the same shaped bottle in a silver color. I haven’t try he CND so I’ll be trying that out thanks!
I totally agree with you on this.
I also agree 100%
What to use to keep nails accessories intact with with nails? :)
I have found the nail glues are a hit in miss with keeping accessories on. What I recommend is a hard gel solution. You can lay a thin, clear layer of hard gel on your nails then place accessories on top. After curing the gel in a nail lamp, you could put a top coat in between the gems/bling to aid with a longer wear:)
Polish.Lover21 alright thank you☺️
Did you buy each lamp that goes with each brand?
Or do you use one lamp for all to cure each?
According to a scientist you can't use all gels in any lamp.. each lamp is designed for each gel.....
Which honestly I don't think is true but which lamps do you use n suggest?
His name is Doug shoon, each gel is formulated for certain wattage of lamp. Some are only UV or LED and some can be used in both UV /LED lamps. It is true, that's why some gels may wrinkle in one lamp but not in another lamp. That's why it's hard to actually go by some videos on a product if they aren't using the proper wattage of lamp. Most gels will say what wattage is required and what type (ie) UV or LED or combo UV/LED . Plus some gels will only work properly by using the base and top coats for that gel. I had a situation where I used a different brand base and the gel didnt stick to it very well and peeled off. Each formulation of.a brand is formulated for the whole system and cant be mixed with other brands. That's why you are seeing more customers getting allergies to over exposure and mixing of products. Always use the proper procedure for.each product and dont mix products.
Have you tried venalisa gel polish? They are really inexpensive and I don’t know if they work
I have used them and they work great! Lasts several weeks (even on a very active teenager and 8 year old!) Be sure to do thin layers. Usually only need two coats.
Im using CND led lamp, and gellen gelish base coat and top and polish and base and top r terrible. And it only stay ok about week. It peeling
off naturally.. so. I thought its base coat problem mostly . OPI review wasn’t good. Hummm so should i get CND base and top?
I'm sorry to hear that. I never really loved the Gelish top coat either. I have tried endless amounts of top coats, yet I have not tried the CND base or top coat, thus I can not personally recommend it. I like the OPI top coat, yet sometimes it shrinks when curing on some colors, so I don't use it on clients. The best top coat I have ever worked with is Dimension Nails No-Wipe Top coat. You should wait around Easter time where the site most likely will be 40% all gels. Madam Glam has my favorite gel base too. Hope this helps!
Polish.Lover21 thanks for recommend. And i wad looking for madam glam . It is only can purchase from their official online. Seems like? I might wait Easter
like you said..
@@yrzayrza Unfortunately, for both of the brands I recommended, you can only get the gels through their main sites. Sometimes, Amazon has Madam Glam, but they are expensive.
Make sure you clean your nails very well before polishing. Gelish is a great polish! Make sure you’re use the right lamp too.
Have u tried gelixir if so tell me how u like it
I have not. I will try it in the future!
Can I have the link for the ok! Gel polish please
the brand “gelpolish” is working really well for me
From what I saw, hers says Arte cavo and the one that you are maybe using is the clou beaute
I actually love Arte Clavo. I think I own over 40-50 shades and they work super well on my clients. They key is to do two thin coats.
@@NikkiZollmanMUA I agree 100% I also have a few and never ever had an issue plus it’s super affordable. I recommend.
Yay!!!!! I also love CND.
Have you tried wave gel polish? If you have did you like them?
I haven't sorry:(
Good bang for your buck n the colors are pretty.
What brand do you prefer over acrylics
What kind of lamp do you recommend? I want to get a lamp that will work well with any gel polish (opi, cnd, gelish, etc)
54W LED (you can get on Amazon/eBay)
How to order po
Great video. Which LED lamp is the best?
A 48 Watt lamp cures polish effectively and quickly (30-60 seconds). If you have sensitive, thin nails, I suggest getting a lamp with a low heat exposure option.
Polish.Lover21 I think that’s why wen I use to go to nail shops my nails use to hurt & burn 🙄🤯
@@irresistiblepinky5796 The more expensive lamps have multiple heat options. A client's nail should never be put under high heat immediately if he/she have sensitive nail beds. I'm happy you now know what to look out for:)
Polish.Lover21 yea I have real thin nail beds from gettin my nails done so I’m like it’s either this fake ass acrylic cuz you know how the shops be & this uv light ‼️🤣🤦🏾♀️
@@irresistiblepinky5796 oh boy!! Definitely tell them usually when I do hard gel....I put in 5 seconds remove...then cure fully but some creams you can't...love heat mode !! Never should hurt you!
Hi, Thank you for the video. Can you please tell me which gel is long lasting with the least damage to my natural nail?
Madam Glam, CND, and Dimension Nails are my top favorites!
@@polish.lover2129 bvb
What about born pretty gel polish?
My top 2 favorite gel nail polish brands are DND and Kiara Sky.
Hello, what's the difference between DND's Daisy and DC if you know? :) I am so confused
@@mariamiak1016 From what I understand, DC is the premium brand. They both are great.
I like Kiara Sky as well
I also like Kiara Sky.
I wish I have money for Kiara Sky gel.
Missu has great Polly gel !
I love my red carpet mani polishes!
What is the best gel polish for natural nails in your opinion.
CND (Shellac) and Dimension Nails.
@@polish.lover2129 Thank you!
What do you think of the beetles brand?
i have some and they last really well but wrinkle super easily, you have to do 3-5 suuuuper thin coats! but for the price i'm willing to work with it
How is Beetles Gel Polish? Please review next!
It's great. I just don't like the fact that they were smaller than expected. And the red was lighter than advertised (with the set I got). The red was only dark when I'd use a Matte top coat. But other than that I think this brand is not bad. If they sell bigger bottles they'll be my favorite!
Beetles have.full.size bottles, the sets come in the small bottles but if you go to their colors the individual colors are full size
Nice video
have you used makartt
I have used their polygel kit before, but not their gel polish.
have you heard or tried Bioseaweed gel?
she reviewed it at 11:07 ✨
I use that brand and I’m a nail artist, I really recommend it
Any suggestions on DND gel polish ?
It’s a great polish
@@jenniecartier3917 thank you
In my experience their formula is very gooey and if you get a gel/laquer (regular nail polish) they are not the same color. Sometimes my nails chip within in a week and sometimes 2 and I use the same technique along with their base and top coat. They generally always have a sale and are affordable but after my last purchase I’m looking to upgrade bc it’s too thick for me and the color looks chalky even when I do thin coats.
Have u tried Modelones and Beetles?
I have tried Beetles but not Modelones. Beetles peels easily; not a great brand.
@@polish.lover2129 thanks
I loved modelones!
Love Beetles. Never had any problems with the brand. Love Modelones also!
What brand do you recommend for manicure ?
That's the point of this video
For regular polish OPI
Bio seaweed gel is good for a long lasting manicure, doesn’t damage the nails and is a vegan/cruelty free brand
Whooooa, wonder what all of those cost :D
I think it may be operator and not the polish. I have used Red Carpet and have never had an issue.
Have you ever tried gelish?
Yes. I am a Gelish Ambassador.
@@polish.lover2129 hello. Over which acrylic brand do you recommend Gelish polish? Thank you for the video.
Ok, I used ASP and it turns my nails so soft to the point where my nails started to break. If you like this brand than this is the wrong video for me.
I thought all gel polishes do that
I lost count how many times you said the word however 🤣
All of these brands that you have displayed here are all hybrid gel polish so you get what you paid for you should try investing in 100% pure gel polish they never rinkle never total odorless. Eg. luxio gel polish and vetro gel polish absolutely no chipping no solvent ingredient
Which brands do you recommend?
luxio gel polish feel free to do your research on the company
I agree these are all junk pop up brands. Try professional brands, big difference in performance.
@@brittanakenlock9216 but ya hv to hv a liscense to purchase
What about the brand gellen nail polish?
I haven't sorry.
Gellen is AWESOME! I’m in healthcare and wash my hands several times a day and Gellen lasts a long time without chipping. Highly recommended!
Melanie & Stephanie it’s not good at all. It peels easily. It’s like a step up from regular nail polish but definitely not anything like nail salon gel polish. Colors are pretty tho
Love her honesty 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
You're wrong about some of these polishes. I like red carpet. And ibd. You Trippin.
Wish I could hear her
I love this nail polish... I used to sniff nail polish...nd wanna sniff more and more
Madam glam is the best!
Lol you says “however” a lot 😅
I bought ASP it didn’t even last one day! Used the base coat and top coat!!🥴
