works but takes time [SEP] so this product was interesting i got a gel manicure for my engagement pictures and the salon did a wonderful job my manicure lasted over days and then finally began to chip which is where this product comes in so i was skeptical but figured it was worth the risk it was extremely thick and gummy consistency which made it hard to paint on my nails but after painted on and waiting a little seconds maybe my nails began to tingle which kind of freaked me out the thing about this product is that if you have a really good gel manicure with a lot of layers then this is a process you have to wait minutes then scrape off a layer then re apply until you got all the layers so it works just not a quick process so depending on your time it might just be easier to go to the salon
