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...

New Formulation 😒
I received 4 bottles of Red Carpet Fortify and Protect LED polish as a gift, one pink, and three different shades of gray. I have been using them with the Red Carpet LED light, Structure, and Brilliance, in addition to the prep products. First, the pigments in all the polishes are not staying toge...

This explains things
Verified Buyer
I thought this was regular purple nail polish and was unable to read the bottle well. Put it on and it would not dry. Probably because gel polish. If the label had been clear I would not have purchased it as I do not have the equipment or training for gel polish.
Light coverage never sets
Very streaky, little coverage. no amount of LED/UV/lamp cures this stuff. Will always be sticky and wipe off. Not sure if its the formula, or if you have to buy their whole system (their own lamp) but im not gonna do that when i have a perfectly good lamp at home.
The polish wrinkles
Verified Buyer
the instructions say to put 2 thin layers on your nail and use the LED light in between layers. However, the nail polish would wrinkle under the light. I tried to correct it with the top coat layer, but you can still see the wrinkles in the polish. I was disappointed and will be returning the product.
I would not buy this again
Verified Buyer
I've been doing self-gel polish mains for approximately 4 years. I'll never go back to regular polish. I do a job that's hard on my nails and this was a great investment. I get at least 2 weeks out of the polish. This color goes on thin and need two coats to cover. it's an elegant look and works well for layering.
Never again!
Verified Buyer
I bought this because it was 90 percent off at the checkout counter. What a waste of money! It streaks and smudges and doesn't dry! No wonder it was 90 percent off!

Do I need to use a UV lamp for it to fully dry?
- Asked by Ellie
- Official Answer By Red Carpet Manicure - Brand EngageYes, 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 EngageHello, 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 EngageHello! 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 EngageHello! 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 EngageHello! 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
