Review on Modelones Gel Nail Polish Set - 6 Colors Nude Pink Skin Tones Gel Polish Starter Kit All Seasons Neutral Brown Soak Off Nail Polish Kit Nail Lamp Manicure Nail Art DIY Salon Home Holiday Gift For Girl by Bricyan Krzywicki

I've been trying my hand at gel nail polish since acrylic has been rough on my nails and gel is easier for me to get off. I liked these colors because of the pastels and neutrals. I did some swatches and I loved the color pay-off. However, I've been using these for a few months and I'm not super impressed.I've had issues with peeling on my natural nails. They would barely last a week doing them this way. After a lot of testing, I found that using a dip powder foundation and then applying the color, plus a strong gel top coat has been the ONLY thing that has preserved the color for 3+ weeks for me. It's a shame because I've used different gel polish with great grip on my natural nails and fewer coats that do better (they just cost a ton). It seems this humid weather makes the polish lift without a literally solid base to hold it down.Lastly, the formula is weird. I'll be halfway through painting my nails and it'll start to pill on me like it's already semi-drying before I even finish one nail. I keep the lid on every time I finish so it doesn't sit open and dry out the polish but it still gets gunky randomly when I apply. Also, it varies whether it'll be opaque or sheer with each coat. I find sometimes a nail just needs two coats and looks great. Then other times I'm having to go over it 5x to try to fix how patchy it looks -- all in one session of painting my nails. Its time consuming and frustrating when I've had easier and faster applications with other brands. I've used a couple of different brands of gel polish and I've never run into this issue except this one.Overall, it's meh. It's not bad enough to throw away, but it's definitely not a kit or a brand I feel I can repurchase from. Maybe if you're more experienced with gel polish you'll have an easier time with these, but I would ask why would you want to even bother with a product that works so janky if you can find something better? Do not recommend.
