My got to manicure staple!

I use this product all the time. I was a CND Shellac addict but my nail artist moved away. So I started doing my own nails at home. I bought the Red Carpet line to use at home. I liked the color options. The prep part was a total MUST HAVE. The gel adhesion was not as good without it. YOU have to re...

Not needed - alcohol is just as good

Reviewers are right in that proper prep is needed for a long lasting mani. You just don't need this product. You get exactly the same results with 90+% isopropyl alcohol. Save your money for nice polish.

I used to do nails professionally. Have not been licensed for a few years now. I got tired of constantly painting my daughters nails and having them redo them every other day because of it wearing off and chipping. I applied this product about 5 days ago and so far on my 11 year old daughter she has not had any chipping or peeling and they are still very shiny. On my 9 year old daughter she has had one nail have the color pop completely off--kind of like when you lose an artificial nail. So far, quite pleased with the results. Much cheaper than going to the salon to get gel nails done. The polish is expensive, but you shouldn't have to continually redo your nails and have to use very much.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Prep after scuffing and purifying

This seems to be some sort of alcohol that removes any remaining oils on your nails to make sure your polish sticks. Don't skip any steps in your manicure--you only need a little of this product and it will last a long time.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I found this product similar to another salon brand to prevent chips. If I would have known they were so similar I probably wouldn't have bought it but I don't plan on returning it. It absorbs very quickly and takes all the shine out of your nail. I use this after the purify and before the base coat. It works exactly as described.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
