Okay so I bought this product because I heard about it every time I switched on my television, saw it whenever I opened my Youtube. You name the place I saw it there. So naturally when Dischem pharmacy had a special I didn't think twice. I grabbed and I didn't look back. (I got another brand with it to compare...)

I could wait to get home and try it out!!
I followed the instructions that read to apply two coats and and then the gel...
my first impressions, lemme just say that I was chuffed by the color. Now before I invested in this product I read some other reviews and it was very mixed to say the least. So I got it to decide for myself

I busted the top open and went to town (my nails were clean I made sure).
So I'm applying the first coat and immediately I was confused, I'm not sure if there was too much nail polish on the brush or my nail bed is too small for the brush or something I don't know! As I keep brushing I kind of get the hang of applying it with the big old brush. I applied the gel finish and waited. It didn't take too long to dry so that was a major plus for me. Shap!
Day 1 nail polish still looks fresh
Day 2 more or less the same as day 1
Come day 4! Well this isn't awkward. The tips of my nails was starting to show... and then by the evening I noticed that there were chips in my nails. Okay so maybe I didn't apply it correctly. So I take it off and start again.
And again ! Things became awkward by day 3.
Needless to say it didn't live up the hype and I didn't get my money's worth.
But I will give it one major plus. When things started getting awkward it didn't look all busted and what not, it just looked like I haven't been to the salon in a while and my gel overlay was over laying.
I'll give it two and a half coconut oil bottles out of five.
