GAOY Red Gel Nail Polish, 16ml Soak Off Gel Polish, UV Light Cure for Nail Art DIY Manicure at Home, 1149 Dark Red Cherry

The color is very saturated and pretty. True to the listing as well. It self levels beautifully and also cures very well, with thin coats. I find that 2 coats is perfect for full opacity. However in one coat it would do very well as a semi opaque syrup gel. The bottle is nice generously sized, and attractive. I love that it is lightfast and doesn't have any little windows that can let light in, which can cure the gel over time. It is durable and does have a tacky layer, so it's slightly sticky once cured. But most topcoats that I have used go very well over it, with no pitting. However if it did happen, no big deal. Just cleanse the sticky layer with some cleanser or alcohol prior to topcoat. I would easily buy them again.

I have been searching for the perfect red wine nail polish color for the holidays and this is exactly that. The polish goes on smooth. It’s a bit on the thicker side of consistency, but in a good way. You won’t run into problems with it running and it’s self leveling so it’s easy to get consistent coats. I used 3 coats of polish to achieve pictured level of darkness. I saw one review saying the brush is too big, but don’t know what that’s about. I included a picture of the brush size and it’s the same size of every other nail polish I have ever used. Will report back on longevity because I also saw reviews saying it started chipping/peeling same day or within a couple days. UPDATE: After one week the polish is still going strong! I have one chip on my thumb nail from jamming my finger, but other than that they are still beautiful. Cuticles have slightly grown out. Will update after significant chips start to show. I think the people who reported peeling/chipping within a day or two messed up with application. 1. Either didn’t prep properly 2. Didn’t apply base and/or top coat 3. Flooded the cuticle with polish which will almost always result in immediate peeling

Very pretty. Having some issues with chipping and peeling even with extensive nail prep.

Beautiful dark red shade, exactly like the photos. Applies smoothly and two coats give full coverage.

Love love love. GAOY is the GOAT. Great products with great finish. Goes on well and stays on. Quality brand, my #1 go to.
