Potential Sub for Gel [SEP] Though the application was not as smooth as youtube videos depicted, if COMPLETELY dry between coats, it was pretty good coverage. If not COMPLETELY dry, it didn't really seem to dry and was soft an mushy. Not at all the hard shell like gel nails - which they claim to be like. However, for the price, the colors are pure and represented well on screen.  A single coat is not sufficient coverage. I had to use 3 coats on my toes to get a solid color. Price is very reasonable, so if you have time to dry between coats, it may be a good option for you.
