Standard brands "gel effect" varnish ?

[BeaLola]

Have seen quite a few with gel effect varnish eg Nails Inc, Dior, Essie etc etc . Just wondered if any are good compromises to having salon gel nails done and also how long they take to dry,

Nail polish Virgin here but have grown nails and they are looking so much better .

I've not tried any of the brands mentioned but I have a clear gel effect top coat varnish from topshop which I love and looks just as good as when I pay ££ to get them done at the salon

Have you looked at Smart Polish? It's a gel polish so you still need the UV light, but no base or top coat so much, much quicker.

I use Barry M Gelly Colours and really rate them.
Also George at Asda Gel Polish range has been great and really hard wearing.
I think the budget gel polishes are great value
