My salon charges an extra $3 for a Vinylux mani. I cannot understand why, the polish does not cost any more than other brands, and it takes the tech less time to do since there is no base coat. I just feel like it is just a gimmick for more money on their part. Anyone else pay more for it? I will buy my own on ebay if I want to continue with it. Thanks.

My salon charges $5 more if you use their Vinylux polishes and top coat. If you bring your own it's the same price as a regular manicure or pedicure.
I was told they pay more for for CND products, even with professional discounts.

Buying it on ebay it is no more than the other quality brands. Some sellers offer very nice discounts on buying multiples in one order.

Vinylux isn't a gel polish. It's regular polish that can be taken off with non-acetone remover. You have to use the Vinylux top coat and it cures under regular light within 3-4 minutes. For me it lasts a full 2 weeks without chips, but I'm putting it on acrylic nails. Even OPI chips and wears off at the tips after a few days.
It won't damage your nails like a gel mani - it's just a longer-lasting regular nail polish. In my area I can only buy it at one beauty supply or from my nail tech.

Correct, uses no base coat, just 2 coats of V color then V top coat, not a gel, just remove with regular polish remover. If used properly it is supposed to be no chips for 7 days.

I love the Vinyux polish, I also have wraps and it lasts for almost three weeks, I was in and out of the pool and covers with sunscreen all Summer and the polish did not fade or change color
