Manucurist Green Flash LED Red Cherry Gel Nail Polish - Vegan, 12-Free, Plant-Based - Strengthens and Protects the Nail - Red Gel Polish - Made in France - 0.5 fl oz

Gorgeous color!I have been using Manucurist for half a year now and my nails are stronger than ever. I have never been able to grow them long without gel/acrylics before. And I just couldn’t keep up with the cost of it. When I bought this system - I started to do my own nails and it is a learning curve, but an easy and pleasant one. It is not gel, it will chip, but it is also much more durable than a normal nail polish. I can still do household chores while it keeps my nails guarded and hard enough to grow them long-ish.

I bought this system so I could do my nails at home. After 20 years of acrylic and then gels, my nails took a beating. I’ve had peeling of two of my nails since. I can say after the 3rd or 4th use, the peeling is finally clearing up. I also love that with just a minute or two with a cotton round and the remover, and the polish just curls up and comes right off. This color is light, which is exactly what I was looking for - a more natural look.

These products have just missed the mark. Despite leaving the different layers on under a light for more like a minute and a half, it didn't harden very well. And then it peeled off within a day or two. Maybe not the best product.

After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant on buying this gel polish but I'm glad I did. I put on one coat and put under an led lamp for 60 seconds and then a second coat for another 60 seconds and this polish is rock solid. The day after I put the polish on I assembled two heavy duty metal shelf systems and had zero dents or peeling to my polish. Wow! It's only been 3 days so I'm not sure how long it will stay this nice and I haven't removed it yet so I don't know how easily it will come off, but I give it 10 out of 10 for how well it went on and has stayed on so far.

Absolutely love this product because it is considered a eco-friendly gel. It is very pricey. I say I get an average wear of five days. I am quite active with my hands and do a lot of dishes (probably about 2 to 3 times a day without gloves). Not super translucent color is nice. It does take two coats to get good coverage.

The color is a beautiful color however this has been on my nails for less than 24 hours and the original color already faded and the polish is chipping. I also needed to use 3 coats of color to get it to not be opaque and it probably could have used more coats. I’m bummed because I bought 4 colors and I can’t return any of them.I guess I’ll be painting 5 coats of polish on and hoping it lasts more than 24 hours… especially with the promised 2 week wear.Edit:Changed from 1 star to 3 stars. I was able to contact costumer service and they were really helpful and issued a full return. The pink I ordered, color pop, is also a hot pink so it looks different than the color on the screen. I’m hoping that with more layers this can be a good polish!

This stuff is miraculous. It holds up to all the hype. Base and color coats cure in 1 minute each, top coat in 2. But most amazingly, it really does just slide off after 1 minute soaking in remover. I can't rave about this stuff enough!Milage varies by color. I've tired Dark Pansy which lasts a solid week. It seems to be a little more sensitive/delicate for the first couple of hours after application, which is a bit disappointing, but it is still easier and more ready-wear than any traditional nail polish. I noticed dulling of the top coat after a few days, but refreshing the top coat extends the wear significantly. I've also tried Poison, which lasted 11 days with zero chipping/dulling and went another 3 days with just one chip at the tip of a nail.Removal is super easy. Use the clips in the kit to soak each nail for 1 min. The color layers slide off in a sheet, and there is a sort of gummy base layer that stays on your nail. A quick rub with the remover on a cotton pad gets it right off. Zero filing, scraping, or damage. My nails have never been longer or stronger! (The polish doesn't strengthen nails, but because it doesn't damage nails mine have stayed strong when they would typically be damaged.)I got the kit that includes the standard light. I saw another review that said the light wasn't strong enough. They either used "low heat mode" or used the travel lamp. The travel lamp is lower wattage, so it takes longer to cure. The regular lamp cures in the times claimed by the company.

Does the job. I notice the lighter colors stay on longer than the darker ones.
