Loreal gel kit review

Ok guys I finally got a minute to sit down. So I bought the new L'Oreal Gel Kit not really expecting much since I didn't buy a gel color to use with it but was really hoping for shine and staying power.
I tested it out on 3 of my most used polish to see how it held up to my job. The polish colors are ... Ring finger julep "love" middle zoya "valentina" and pointer finger OPI " Im not really a waitress" So while I went to bed with somewhat shiny nails. No I wasn't really impressed with with the shine,but I didn't use gel polish either so I could not complain much. I was surprised though when I was taking my shower before work Monday morning and had my polish on my right hand ring finger just peel right off. I thought oh great this will be interesting. So that started my Monday off (great start eh?) After work this is how they held up...

The thing that I found odd is that like after the shower, the polish didn't actually chip off but peeled off. In fact I was actually peeling the rest of them off while I was driving home LOL. I thought it would be great if I was wearing glitter polish but no such luck that day. What was left over was a bit more difficult to get off with my regular polish remover pads, so I guess there was a bit more protection. But in the end the shine factor was not there and that really disappointed me. I guess I'll just stick to a good topcoat for now :) ~Melissa

  2. I didn't get the gel polish to go with it mainly because I change my polish daily. I just can't commit to a color that long ;)

  4. I agree Melissa! That's why I haven't tried out the gel polish before. I don't think I could handle having the same color nails for more than 2 days! lol

  5. That's the worst! I had that happen to me too. I used an NYC top coat and by the end of the day, the nail polish on my ring finger completely popped off! Sad to see the L'Oreal polish is the same. Really like the zoya color though.
