GAOY Rose Garden Jelly Gel Nail Polish of 6 Transparent Nude Red Pink Brown Colors Sheer Gel Polish Kit for Salon Manicure and Nail Art DIY at Home

This polish applies very smooth, brush is good size and shape. It does look better over a fake clear nail instead of natural nails in my opinion because you get that “jelly-transparent” look over the clear tip of the nail. The colors do look very similar, just looking at colors when opening the nail polish bottle. Hopefully it’s different when actually applying to the nails. My left pointer is the nail that has the clear tip.

The color and finish on these polishes are beautiful. It is a set of pink and nude colors with a high opacity, so I do two coats and cure in between coats and also apply a top coat at the end. It applies evenly with no streakiness. This is a really good nude collection of polishes for a good price.

I bought the rose garden set to add to my collection. I have quite a lot of gel polishes from various companies, and have been doing gel on bare nails and on gelx extensions for about 4 years. The colors are well-represented by the swatch photos - the two darkest are very jelly-like, while the lighter 4 are milkier, but still with good transparency. They came nicely packed and are a decent size (unlike the occasional super tiny bottles that come in these sets), and have a great consistency. With all jelly/transparent colors, it can be challenging to get an even coat of color, but after a few coats I'm very pleased.I'm currently wearing the red wine color on my bare toenails and gelx fingernails, so I'll update regarding longevity, but I suspect it will last a few weeks until it's grown out and I'm ready to change the color. (update: they did!) For those in the reviews who are having trouble with chipping, here are some tips:Prep:- Rough up the surface of your nails to give the gel something to adhere to, then use a dehydrating primer to prep the nail. If the nails are slick, of even have a little bit of natural oils, you'll have issues getting any polish to stay.Painting:-Make sure to paint the tip of the nail as well, not just the top. This will help prevent lifting, and generally look nicer.-Use a thin layer of base coat, cure for 60s, and don't wipe the surface with anything-Repeat for each coat of color, cleaning up the edges around the cuticle with a wooden stick/ small stiff brush dipped in acetone-Add a top coat, and cure for 90s. Do NOT add a second layer of top coat, as it won't adhere well. If you need to add another layer of top coat, you must rough up the surface with a file again.Removal:-If you want to try an acetone soak, rough up the surface with a file/efile before you start. You can use a bowl, or dip cotton in acetone, apply, and wrap in foil. Expect to soak for at least 15 minutes, possibly more than once.-I use an efile to remove all of the polish (and my gelx extensions) but it is very easy to accidentally file your natural nail down. If you aren't sure, take off as much as you can safely with the efile, then soak off the rest.If they're still chipping, consider whether your natural nails are thin and flexible - if you imagine bending an object with paint on it, it's natural for that paint to chip under stress. Consider strengthening/stiffening your nail with an extension or a layer of builder gel to increase wear time.

Overall good quality, I would definitely buy again. I am not an expert nail tech, just started to do my nails but overall I like the colors. It does not leave a Matte finish but I do love the glossy look. Would order from them again.

These colors are so pretty and delicate. They're particularly fantastic over magnetic polish. They are absolutely jelly shades, but if you apply it too thick it can be opaque. Translucent or opaque, there's still that depth you're looking for with jelly. It you want it transluscent, then thin coats are important. These are GEL POLISHES. Therefore, THEY REQUIRE A UV LAMP TO CURE. They will not dry fully without one. They're on the warmer side of pink, but look great on any skin tone. Application is smooth like butter, but it can be thick in cooler temperatures. The great thing about gel is that it's self-leveling, just have patience.

Wonderful colors. Applies smoothly. The picture shows each color swatched 3-4 coats (i forgot the right number lol)

The colors are pretty. It takes 3 coats to achieve the full effect, but the nails began to peel less than 24 hours later. And I had followed the directions exactly. I'd roughed up the nail bed, etc. I'm going to try 2 coats next. Maybe it'll last longer. But if you're not going for more than a good look for one night out or a special occasion, then it works.

Love, love, love this polish. I've been using another popular brand of gel polish and wasn't happy with the colors, and consistency. This was so smooth, went on easy, dried well, and the colors are perfect! It's a great deal if you want to do your own gel. Big bottles. I used my SUNUV lamp and it cut my manicure time down. Only 4 stars until I see how it lasts. If I get 2 weeks for this price I will not buy anything else. I also bought the nail builder for strength and the top and base coats and got 10 bottles of polish.. Cost me less than 4 bottles of the other brand. other brand.
