I have no idea I will never use anything from Sensationail ever again! It sometimes chipped off a matter of days after I put it on. Not to mention is put holes in my nails...I would find a different product.

I have had good experiences with Sensational. I have had several different branded Gel polishes at several salons and they chipped within the first 5 days. However, I purchased Sensational and the polish tends to last about 2 weeks without chipping (and I'm a hands on person). I think all these polishes depend on your nail type, how it's applied and how much activity you do. Hope this helps!

The first manicure I did with this kit, I followed the directions exactly and my manicure lasted 2 weeks. It probably would have lasted longer had I not wanted to change the color, so I took off the polish myself. My nails looked beautiful and I got a lot of compliments!

I don't really know haha My nails are still painted with this from the first time I ever used it. But it's been on for a week and there are no chips or peeling yet! :)

not sure what u wanted but I got nail art plates from 2 places, 1 from walmart and a bunch online at bundlemonster.com, no special name. the best polish, if you can believe it, was from 5below and cvs. at 5below I got "art club nail art lacquer" for 3 for $5. works great; from cvs I got "wet and wild's Wild shine" colors black, purple and pink. I was told to get some polish with "chromeiness" not sure what that was but I went with a opal type of sheen to polish. You do have to be fairly quick. polish nails and LET DRY!!!! Then decorate. set your self up with everything u need and cover surface!! it will get messy. once u put polish on plate get moving, scrape w/ a little force, roll over to ink stamp and roll on nail. After three or four tries you will get it. btw some mistakes look better than perfect nails. Mom loved her single flower oops better than the perfect arch on her thumb. Then top coat, top coat, top coat. not that u need 3 coats but must not forget it. Mine lasted 8 days when I kept renewing top coat every 2 days. Oh last tip DO NOT use any polish w/ glitter for stamp. It wont work. save that for base color if u want.

first opi gels, apply base coat to clean nails, place under lamp0 seconds, next apply opi gel color your preference, then light for 2 minutes, every treatment color r tips have to go under the laamp finish with top coat, lamp then use alcohol 90% or higher to stop the tackiness you have to use alcohol, make sure nails are smooth when you start and this should give you a two week finish. don't mix gels with regular polish it won't work

I don't know if that's a good idea. Maybe after they dry a little but when mine arrived it was very moist/drippy and the liquid ate the nail polish right off my manicure. I wouldn't recommend getting it near a car/letting the liquid sit on a paint job for an extended amount of time.

The gel is soft, but dries to a hard coating. So does the polish. It will last up to 3 weeks...

I had them put on at a nail salon, they lasted a good while,they just used the nail glue so when you take it off it will chip a little of the mail color.

My two teen age daughters use these. They use them for designs and as a polish. I know when they,put on the designs it doesn't chip. I am not sure when they use it as a polish. Good luck, they are happy with it.

Love this color too and it is not frosted. It lasts for at least a week and I would suggest you buy the clear coat to make it last even longer.

I use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of the CND Vinylux and no chipping for at least a week. It's the best top coat I've ever used.

Hi Colleen, What kind of lamp are you using? I have the cheap Sensationail LED one and I only do 60 second per coat - 2 minutes seems highly unnecessary unless you're using a UV lamp (which I recommend you get rid of... UV lamps tan/age your hands, go for LED!). What brand are you using for the polish colour? If it's not OPI, that might be why you're having issues. A lot of brands aren't super compatible, especially if you're using a drugstore brand (non-pro) with OPI. I use the OPI base & top coats mostly with OPI colour and it always lasts until I remove it or it grows off. If you find yourself frequently wetting/drying your hands (e.g. a weekend spent at the beach frequently in and out of the water) you might find it starts peeling because that amount of expanding and shrinking of your nails is going to make it difficult for the polish to stay adhered. If you have naturally oily skin/nails it might just mean that gel polish isn't going to work for you. But if you've had gel polish done at a salon and it's worked just fine, then something in your technique isn't working. Finally, get the OPI bond-aid - if that doesn't help the gel polish stick to your nails (I don't use it because I find it makes it too hard to remove), then I think you're out of luck with gel polish. Try shellac (chips like crazy on me but I know it works for other people really well).

I put 4 fingers at one time then did both thumbs--it takes 6 minutes of drying time, 30 seconds for each polish: base coat, 2 color coats, top coat. The polishing time is up to you. The first time I did it I was really slow, but I have gotten faster. There are two colors, a pink sparkle and a red. Both are pretty. The finish lasted two weeks, and I'm rough on my hands. Easy to take off and reapply. I'm going to try sandwiching next, using my own polish for the color. I'm more than happy with this kit.

Mine always lasts for at least a week, unless i pick at it or i missed a spot. I noticed when i do a french mani it doesn't seem to last as long, i don't know why that is, bit this is still the best top coat I've ever used.

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

The polish peels right off if you do it thick enough. I have been using it now for 3 months and my nails are still fine.

Well, the strips come in various sizes, and if some do fall to the side of the nail all you do is file that excess away. Personally, I hate the strips. They don't adhere well and it is most people's case that the strips start chipping merely hours after applying it. The GEL on the other hand is amazing. I use regular nail polish, let it dry THOROUGHLY and then apply the gel and cure with the LED lamp. This does extend the life of the nail polish and the gloss and shine is unbelievable. The strips.. nah!
