SENSATIONAIL Gel Primer, Gel Base and Top Coat Refill Kit

Good

The SENSATIONAIL Gel Primer, Base, and Top Coat Refill Kit is fantastic for anyone doing gel nails at home. The products apply smoothly, cure well under an LED lamp, and give a glossy, long-lasting finish that rivals salon results. The primer helps the gel adhere perfectly, while the base and top coats ensure the nails stay chip-free for weeks. I also appreciate that this refill kit is convenient and cost-effective compared to buying individual bottles. Overall, this kit is reliable, high-quality, and makes doing gel nails at home much easier. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced users!

Used it to fix worn “corners” of a professional manicure. Lasted well, 1 week so far. Dried reasonably level with previously applied gel.

I have weak nails and this is about the only way I can get my nails strong enough to grow. Its great and very easy to do yourself. Doing this gel myself not only is much cheaper than going to a nail salon, I also can leave it off, at least overnight, let my nails breathe, moisturize them and prevent damage that other people I know receive from going to have a gel manicure done. I bought the LED lamp for this system over ten years ago and it still works. I love this whole system and it is one of the best purchases I've made! I highly recommend!!

I love this stuff. Pros: The primer and base/top coat work well. I have used them with Sensationail colors and with other brands, like Sally Hansen. In all cases the quality was good. I'm careful to follow the instructions and usually my polish does not come off until I take it off after a week or two. Cons: I really, really wish they would sell the gel primer and top/base coat individually, but I don't think they do. I wasn't able to find it. After I knocked over the brand new bottle of primer and spilled it all, I wasn't too happy that I had to buy another package with both items when I only needed the primer. Likewise, one time I decided to paint on the top coat in full sunlight and of course the UV light from the sun made it become gloppy and unusable. I know that is my fault, but still...I ended up having to buy primer + base/top coat together. I do hate how all the primer will easily spill out of the bottle if you knock it over. With the polish, if you knock it over accidentally, all is not lost. You might not even spill any. But if you knock over this primer, you're going to lose it all. I don't find their included orange stick to be useful for removing polish, if that is what it's for. I use their metal polish peeler instead and usually I can avoid having to use acetone soaks to get the polish off. The orange stick would be woefully inadequate for this.

Really like the top coat that sensationail do, prefer it to any other gel coat but just wish it was in a bigger bottle. Primer is also good but very sticky.
