Thanks so much for all your help , Beauties ! Has anyone used this right after taking off acrylics , or should I let my own nails grow out first ? TIA ! Xenagirl

Personal I would let my nails recovery before using gels. Good oils or Nailtek for strength until they are ALITTLE stronger. There are many good treatments to use . It took me years to recovery from my acrylic habit.

I've had the Mally kit for a while and it's really nice. Everything you need comes with it, and the most recent times she's had it on air it even came with a bag to carry it all in. It's really easy to use, and I buy Gelish polish locally at Sally's when I need more. I was having lots of trouble with regular nail polish cracking and peeling because my nails were thin and "bendy". The gel polish adds some volume to the thickness of my nails to prevent this and it lasts much longer!

I have heard of people sandwiching regular polish between layers of gel polish, but I just do a more natural color gel polish for every day wear, and then when I want color put some regular polish over it. You can remove the regular polish with polish remover and it doesn't damage the gel polish at all! The only thing I regret about my Mally gel nail system purchase is that they weren't including the case with it when I bought mine!

Thanks , Beauties , for all your help. I think I'm going to get either Mally,s or the Red Carpet set. I'm kind of leaning toward Mally ,s. Thanks again !

Today, Various artificial nail fashion models are available at market. Each of them has different styles in a unique pattern of designs. I most preferred the branded gel nail sets. What are the general tips should we remember at the purchasing the gel nail sets ?

Love Mallys set! I never had a gel manicure and always do my own nails. SUPER easy to use and worth the investment. I purchase additional nail colors at the drugstore or Amazon because with shipping the prices are a little crazy on the Q for polish.

I use the Red Carpet Manicure LED Set that I purchased at Drugstore dot com and LOVE it! I also purchased one for my niece and she loves it as well. My polish lasts around two weeks and I am hard on my nails (along with them being prone to cracking/breaking). They are better protected and crack/break less when I have the gel manicure applied. I highly recommend this system. My Target sells the polish (and system) along with Ulta. Kind of a pain to remove the gel with the soaking that is required, but I do know there are new individual remover pads (actually like the foil wrap and cotton, I believe) which they are selling to make that process a bit easier. I'm going to pick some up in the next day or two at Ulta. I don't know how different this gel system is from Mally's, but it may be a heck of a lot cheaper at $79 and certainly performs well...especially nice when you can use a 20% discount that drugstore dot com offer at times (along with the free shipping). Hope this helps.

I have red carpet manicure and really love it. Like others have said I usually let my nails go natural for a week or use regular polish in between gel polish. I can get almost two weeks out of the gel. Love that!!!

Thanks for all your help,Beauties ! I got a set at Sally Beauty with a 15% off coupon. I also got some extra polish colors there and at Walmart. I took my acrylics off and am going to wait a couple weeks before I use it. It looks easy enough and I don't mind taking the time to do it. Now , to keep DD from taking it !

I have the Sally Hansen gel painting set. LOVE it. I would drive myself nuts, painting my nails and them ruining them with sheet marks, etc. It is AWESOME to paint a nail and have it PERFECT and hard as a rock IMMEDIATELY.
