Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this product after doing a search for UV Top Coat's on Amazon. I haven't been happy with the top coats that I have been using from the Salon supply store by OPI or CND, I have gone over my application and prep method and nothing changes, I have chips within 24-72 hours. I never had that problem in the past with the products so I decided to try something new. I used a UV light by Creative Nail Design to for the light curing process with this application. Most companies don't want you to know your UV light will work to cure LED polishes and that you should buy their light but that's not the case. A UV light will cure LED polish, it will take longer but it will cure both LED and UV polishes. There are some really great articles about that on the Nails Magazine website. I went to school to be a manicurist and I keep up on my continuing education and reading material from trade magazines although I am working in another field. For my application I followed these steps: I prepped my nails as always.Pushing back the cuticles, light bugging around the cuticle area and sides then cleaned my nail beds. I applied the base coat and put my nails under my light for the highest time setting one time. I applied 2 coats of UV/LED nail polish curing in between each coat for the full setting of time. I then applied 2 coats of the top coat curing under the light for the full amount of time between each coat. After, I just grabbed some rubbing alcohol and ran it over my nails to remove the sticky residue and finish the curing process. After 5 days, I have no chips. The only issue I have with this product, and it may be with Amazon not the product is the placement of the sticker over the instructions. It'd be nice if there was a second set of printed instructions inside the box but for the price you cannot beat this set of base and top coat. I would definitely try other products by this company. Also, with many LED/UV polishes there is no smell, that's not the case with this product. There is a scent. It smells like regular nail polish. If you have issues with scents you may want to take that into consideration. It's not obnoxious and you won't be smelling it in your house or on your hands for hours. When the bottle is closed the scent doesn't linger. I paid full price for this item and am providing the review for informational purposes only. Thank you.
