GAOY Ruby Red Gel Nail Polish, 16ml Soak Off UV Light Cure Gel Polish for Nail Art DIY Manicure at Home, Color 1154

This nail polish is wonderful! The color is vibrant and exactly as pictured, and it goes on smoothly without streaks. It dries relatively quickly and lasts for days without chipping. The brush makes application easy and precise, and the finish looks professional.

Very beautiful color goes on smooth and durable

LOVE this product. This is lengthy, but worth reading. I've tried lots of products for my brittle, thin, and short nails. Biotin worked great, but I believe our bodies become immune to it, and doesn't work anymore. I tried fake (glue) fingernails, only to find they eventually cause significant damage to the nail. I also tried the gel version of adhesive for a fake fingernail, but they didn't adhere sufficiently. Tried the other gel to 'create' a nail, but that was a complete mess. Trying to get the 'extra' gel removed from the backside of the nail didn't work, as I ended up pulling the gel from the actual nail. If left, it adhered to the skin, and caused damage and discomfort. This product is exactly what I needed all along. Something that could be applied to the top of my nail w/o interference to the skin. It truly works in that it strengthens your own nail while it grows naturally. The light pink is a beautiful/natural color. There is some skill required to apply the gel. Watch the video, it's VERY helpful. I did purchase the base and top coat separately, and I already had a UV light from one of my previous purchases. Best tips. When beginning, do one nail at a time. Again, it will take experience to get it right. After applying the gel, invert your finger (upside down) when drying under the UV lamp. Otherwise, the gel will soften with the heat, and expand beyond the nail at bottom and sides. The gel will not be completely dry, but once you apply the top coat, and use the UV light, the top coat dries completely and immediately. It's also VERY shinney. So far, so good! I may update this review in a week or so. Good luck!

This is my first time buying this product as I am a true user of DND. I love it just as much!! It coats really nice has a nice consistency and covers well. It is deep in color a true black like patent leather, really pretty! I purchased the base and top coat to make sure everything adhered properly no cross products. I would purchase this brand again once I see how long it lasts, chips etc. Update: 12 days in only one nail chipped. I have one more week to go!!

Very pretty but peeled off the very next day. Maybe I did something wrong but I have used this stuff for years and this was the least durable I have seen. The bottle is sturdy and doesn’t leak. The consistency and texture of the polish is great and the color has a nice transparency.

Blacker than my soul? Yes, yes it is. Gaoy is becoming one of my favorite brands for nails. And this polish hits all the right expectations and hopes. Durability? 100%. I work with my hands, forget gloves 90% of the time despite purchasing a ton, and this polish has held up against everything I've ever scuffed against, washed in, scrubbed through, etc. etc. It's glossy, a shine that rivals the glint in the very devils eye. And it lasts, for.ev.ver. Price is well suited for the amount and size of the product. No peeling, no nicking. I wear press one, and have had no issues with curing, nor chipping. It's a beautiful black, without a doubt.

I wanted to love this one but couldn’t. I’ve purchased a few other colors from this brand and they’ve all been amazing and don’t chip. For some reason this dark red color took much longer to cure, leaving some coats wet and caused bubbling so I had to take them off and completely redo them. The milky white and light pink cure within 60 seconds but this one I had to do 60s multiple times, even with a thin coat. The color is rich and not streaky, but the curing was just an issue for me. I’m thinking it may have to do with it being dark? Not sure. Love this brand though, and I’ve been using it for a few months now!

Here’s my honest review for this polish, I bought the color crimson, and used at home with a base coat, 2 coats of this polish and a top coat. Pigment: 5/5 I am honestly super impressed with the pigment! I did 2 coats with top coat for the photo, but probably could have gotten away with 1 coat if I applied it more evenly because it covered super well. Hardness: 3/5 I found that this polish didn’t cure up super hard. After curing each layer, when wiping with an alcohol wipe, a fair amount of polish came off. And it definitely would have been super banged up if I didn’t put a tough top coat on it. Curing time: 2/5 I found I needed 2.5-3 mins to cure each layer. And all crevasses needed to be directly in the light, as my first attempt the pinky coat came halfway off when I wiped it because the light hadn’t hit that side super directly. And as mentioned above every time I wiped it between layers, some of the polish smudged off a bit. Durability: ? I’ll try and update this review in a few weeks to provide my thoughts here. But so far after a few days there’s been no chips. Overall I liked this polish, and may buy more in the future. It just took a long time because of the curing time. But I appreciate no HEMA and the drawbacks that has.
