Overall pleased with purchase [SEP] This has only been the second gel base and top coat that I've used. I'm not super familiar with them, but the lagunamoon is incredible in comparison to the other brand that I used from Sally beauty. It's quite thick and has a strange odor, but the finished product is excellent. The nails are smooth and level when cured. I have had to apply two base coats each use though. The base coat is sticky and about half of the coat comes if when you wipe off the sticky layer. A second coat of base covers entirely and stays on. The top coat is wonderful. One coat coverage, no sticky layer, very glossy.  It has made my gel nail polish last an extra week so far without a single chip or any lifting. I will definitely order this again.
