Bumping for you, as I'm interested too!

I started out with sensationail but was very expensive and chipped or lifted wthin days. I then tried mygel not much better and was a nightmare to get off.

I now have been using bluesky off amazon since May and really impressed. Pedicure lasts a good 4-6 weeks and manicure 2-3 weeks. I have a toddler and baby so my hands get washed so many times and a lotof housework etc. No chips or anything. I love the colours as well. Good pigment and nice consistency. The hard gel is fab for strengthening your nails as well. I would recommend it.

I use bluesky which I buy off Amazon. You will need the nail 2-1 prep and wipe I use the mylee one. UV lamp, Gel base coat, gel nail polish and top coat. You will also need lint free wipes a nail file cuticle pusher and cuticle oil.
My finger nails last 2-3 weeks and toe nails about 6 weeks

I also started with Sensationail but have switched to Bluesky polishes.

I hated the removal. Sensationail do a peel off base which is great for me. The polish doesn't last quite as long (around ten days) but it also doesn't ruin my nails.

Bluesky from Amazon. They vary - some need two coats and some three.

You can buy the whole mylee starter set together on Amazon

The mylee starter kid on Amazon is good

Another vote for bluesky. I’ve been using it with a mylee LED lamp for over 4 years. I find it easier to use than normal nail varnish as I always smudged it while it was drying.
