I used this brand when getting my mani/pedi done in salon in seapoint as part of my wedding prep. I grew my nails for the occasion so decided to get overlays instead of tips. The end results is gorgeous, but stayed that way for about a week (I had the french) until it needed to come of. After this I have gone for numerous gelish mani/pedi's and find that the solid colors last much, much longer than the french paint does. All in all, a bit pricey, but worth it as your nails are kept gorgeous looking for longer
