Gift Lounge at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards

About a month ago I received this Gel Polish Starter Kit from Red Carpet Manicure. As a makeup artist, nail polish collector I was excited for the opportunity to try this at home Gel Polish kit.

Cost: 59.99

You get 8 piece set including the LED light that is portable.

The claim is it will last for weeks !

So, I could have reviewed it right away because I not only did my nails I did 2 friends and a client/friends nails. I wanted to have all of us try it out in our day to day life and see how long it would really last.

It was around 5 days before I noticed the first signs of the tip of my nail flaking up. The other ladies said their nails lasted past the one week mark almost to 2 weeks before the first sign of wear. In my opinion for an at home gel nail kit, that is amazing. I simply filed nails, came home and just redid the application on the nails that were showing signs and it lasted for another week before I noticed any wear. I got compliments on my nails, and I took this with me when I went out of town. So it truly was portable and easy, and I didn't end up needing it for myself but I do not like messy nails so I was prepared.

It comes with instructions, and that is what we followed step by step. I was like to add that you have to be careful when applying this gel polish.

1.Put it on in thin coats as it states, don't paint your nails like regular polish.

2.Put on a thin coat of polish then cure it under the light, go back and add another layer if needed.

3.Use the Materials provided to clean up around the nails so that the polish doesn't peel off if you leave gel around the cuticles.

4.Be sure to set a timer and cure your nails under the light for stated time. You will have beautiful gel nails in less than 15 minutes!(for the entire process from beginning to end)

If you are a nail polish lover, I suggest you go and buy this product now! It is amazing being able to do my own gel nails at home or if I travel. My nails feel stronger and the red polish that it comes with it beautiful so I am happy they include such a beautiful shade. I must go and buy some of their other 36 shades because I really enjoy the whole process.

If you are interested please go to their website,Ulta and a few other stores listed on their website to get your very own.
