    Great product when used with correct top and base coat!

    I first bought this product at Ulta at Christmas time. The salesperson helped me with product selection and how to use. I chose a color in the Led Gel polish and a color in the Fortify and Protect. She said we have the Insta-chrome step 1 and 3 so you only have to have this one bottle and this elimi...

    I had a gel manicure while visiting my parents before a trip. Within two days it was chipping. I ordered a cheap light from Amazon and picked up this brand at Ulta- the base, color and top coat. Two weeks later my nails are perfect- with the exception of one i fixed. I also received so many compliments on the color!

    Over two weeks- some grow out but still shiny.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Teahouse Traveler: cures bubblegum pink

    Submitted 3 years ago

    By MRL

    From Dallas, TX

    I wanted this to be the color represented on the bottle (soft/pale pink) but after drying under the lamp, the final result is a bubblegum pink. To confirm, I compared the finished nails to the bottle and it's not the same color. Although I think these polishes are decent quality, color representation has been off several times. If you want an exact match, make sure to test these after curing because what you see in the bottle often isn't represented in the actual polish.

    Disappointed

    Submitted 3 years ago

    By Sandy

    From Morgantown, WV

    I grabbed the Publicist in Pink for the neon/fluorescent pink color of the bottle. First disappointment was that the color was NOT true to bottle, and was more of a Barbie pink (although online swatch is actually fairly close). Second disappointment is that it doesn't seem to cure well. And third disappointment is that for a gel polish, it's extremely dull, not matte, but close enough to it. I will be returning this as the price isn't worth the disappointment from this.

    My daughter wanted a sheer nice gel polish to use for a French manicure. This was simple to use and the exact shade she was looking for. Natural but better or clean aesthetic.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Do I need to use a UV lamp for it to fully dry?
    Asked by Ellie
    Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand Engage
    Yes, Fortify & Protect is a gel polish which requires an LED or UV light to fully cure (dry down).Was this answer helpful to you
    Q
    Not what i expected. Can I return this? I don't do led . I love the color not the formulation
    Asked by Polish.
    Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand Engage
    Hello, sorry to hear this product wasn’t what you were expecting. Our Gel Polish formula is designed for long-lasting wear and a pro-quality shine, but they do require an LED/UV light to cure. Ulta’s Return Policy reads as follows: “You can return most new or gently used products, including nail polish, within 30 days of the original purchase date for a refund to the original form of payment. Returns made between 31 and 60 days are eligible for merchandise credit. All returns must include all original components, and a proof of purchase is required unless the original purchase can be verified in Ulta's system” Hope this helps! :)Was this answer helpful to you
    Q
    Why are my nails stilly tacky after curing
    Asked by Ms. Chrome Nails
    Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand Engage
    Hello! Great question. It is normal for Gel Polish to be "tacky" after curing, it's just a product of the curing process. Since this is NOT a one-step Gel system, all of RCM’s Gel Polishes will require a Gel Top Coat. You cannot cure this Gel Polish and leave it as is. Please apply a Gel Top Coat and cure. After properly curing both Gel Polish Color + Gel Top Coat, you will then have to WIPE OFF the top sticky residue with a lint free wipe & nail surface cleanser.Was this answer helpful to you
    Q
    I purchased a bottle of base coat and it is very thick( does not go on like the first bottle I purchased ). It's quite expensive and I really don't want to purchase another bottle, is there anything I can do ?
    Asked by Patty
    Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand Engage
    Hello! Thanks for submitting a question. We recommend not adding anything to the current product as it will alter the formula. If it is “thick” it most likely means it is starting to cure in the bottle. This can happen by leaving the cap open for long periods of times, or leaving the open bottle near your LED light during application. If it was purchased within ULTA’s return window we recommend exchanging it for a new one.Was this answer helpful to you
    Q
    What Red Carpet gel colors would I use for a natural French manicure? I have an LED light. Looking for a bright white and a nude sheer color (or sheer pink, but prefer a nude). Thank you!
    Asked by KSD
    Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand Engage
    Hello! For a nude sheer shade we would recommend "Naturally Beautiful" and for a nude/pink shade we would recommend "Timeless Beauty", A great bright white color would be our "Iconic Beauty" shade. Hope this helped create your french mani! :)Was this answer helpful to you
