I recently tried out soak off gel polish, and once was all it took. The next week I ordered my own UV light and a few colors to start out. This stuff is amazing.
You need a special primer, top and base coat along with the UV light. Prep and polishing time takes longer than a regular manicure, but as soon as you finish your nails are completely dry.
They stay so shiny all week! I had no chipping, and I am not particularly easy on my nails.
At the end of 2 weeks, you soak them in acetone to remove the polish. My nails were still in great shape.
Gelish Carnival Hangover is a neon purple pink. These pictures don't capture the vibrancy, but this color is bright and summery.
