GAOY White Red Black Gel Nail Polish Set, 6 Colors Brown Pink Nude Soak Off UV Light Cure Gel Polish Kit for Salon and Nail Art DIY at Home

Disregard my dusty area lol, I was playing with glitter prior. Photo 1 above is with iPhone 14 flash, photo 2 is no flash but my lamp is crappy lol. It’s a 6 pack set, bottles are kinda small (for those that don’t understand measurements like me 😂), but I think the price is good. There’s no overpowering smell. Application is fine. Streakiness can occur but I feel like that’s with any gel polish, thankfully these aren’t as thick as some gels I’ve tried. I did see some reviews about the polish not drying... I personally had no issue with it, maybe they’re talking about the tacky layer?? It goes away after top coat or you can wipe with rubbing alcohol. So now I will say what my “but” was for in the title. There are 2 colors that I personally don’t care for. 1318 and 1352 (the middle one on the nail holder and the bottom right one). One is orangey which I don’t understand why companies keep including it in nudes as it’s too orange to me. The second is a pale pale pink, almost white pink. I’m a fairly pale person and I don’t think that would even look good on my skin tone. The other 4 colors are great and I’ll definitely get tons of use out of them. I’ve been practicing soft and hard gel applications and I feel like it’s kinda hard finding good nude colors. I purchased another brand like a month ago, it was also a 6 pack and like double the price. All the colors were unusable as they all looked orange. Unsure if I got a bad batch or what but I noticed in many of the recent reviews people had complained so I’m glad I found this brand. I would definitely buy again!Also if anyone is wondering how many coats I used.. these were “2 coats.” I applied a thin “slip” layer first, cured it for 60 seconds then went back in and added a bit thicker of a layer, side swiping the polish back and forth. Hopefully that makes sense. The tips are a bit more see through because I just brush up like normal on the second coat so I don’t bulk up the tips and sides. If I wasn’t doing a French design or something to cover the tip and the transparentness bothers you, you can definitely build the color up more.Also if the paint job looks crappy, it’s my fault. I’m still new to all this. I’ve been getting acrylics for the past 14 years faithfully, I recently switched to doing my own gel nails.

I’m still working my way through all of the colors, but I am always impressed at the quality of this brand for the price! Cheaper than regular polish at the drug store, but lasts 3x as long. Sometimes gel can be really runny and difficult to use. I have not found that to be the case with any of their polishes.

Ordered March 12th & received March 14th (two days later). No broken items, no missing colors, neatly packed. Haven’t tried as of yet but will on March 17th & will keep you updatedUpdate:*3rd picture of nails on hand*Added picture of nails. Use as based color and it worked amazingly well. I use the Una Gella uv gel to stick uv gel nails to my nails and cured it. It was my first time but I think they came pretty good. Used these French tips nail stickers that I stick & peel off Amazon from a different seller to create the French tip look. Did these on March 17th and today is March 24th and they still stronger & vibrant than ever!

I really love this gel polish set! The colors are so pretty and the quality is amazing. It goes on smoothly and lasts a long time. Some shades need more than one coat to look full, but overall I’m very happy with it and will keep using it.

I like the consistency and application of the product. It goes on very nicely and gives a nice shiny and even coat. The next day I did find that one nail started to peel off when I pulled something out of my jacket pocket. So I may need to try using a base and top coat. But on the plus side, I do like that I could just peel these off without worrying about soaking them in acetone.

The media could not be loaded. I had a different brand of mood changing or color changing nail polish is years ago and when I looked to buy more, I found these. This set was a great value. The colors are gorgeous. During Christmas time and Valentine’s Day I wore the red and white color and it looked so festive. My other favorite is the pink and silvery white. Basically the colors changed, depending on if your fingers are cold or warm. You can change the colors instantly by dipping your fingers in colder warm water, but your natural body heat will change them as well. I always get compliments when I wear these polishes. I only need two coats and they stay on until I take it off. They seem to be high-quality and they dry nicely.

*Updated to comment on the durability of the polish*The polish itself is very pretty. The description is slightly misleading. Only two of the polishes are cat eye/jelly. One is just pearlescent. The other three are just plain opaque polish. Still pretty colors, but not jelly or cat eye.The packaging/quality control is very disappointing. The first package I received was not shrink wrapped (for comparison, a GAOY top/base coat and cuticle set I ordered came shrink wrapped, so I expected the same with these). Not only that, but the box was very dirty and damaged. I requested and received a replacement, but that one was also unsealed and dirty. I returned the first and second shipments and tried ordering a third time. The third arrived in similar condition (though not as damaged as the first order). In each case, the damage was not due to shipping, because it came inside other packaging that was undamaged.I decided to keep the third, as I really like the colors, but the quality control is disappointing.Overall, the polish itself is pretty, the quality of the polish is great (with GAOY base and top coat, I’ve had a set last over three weeks with only one nail chipping) but the packaging quality brings my review down.

First time ever trying so I’m sure I’ll get better over time but all in all, super easy to use. Nice colors, it is a little sheer so when building up, it’s gonna take me a few try’s to get it distributed more evenly. I’ve only worn them for a day so I’m not sure how long it’ll last but the fact none of them broke is a great sign. I paired it with the base coat, strengthener and top coat combo set.
