I've got a sensationail kit, how long does the gel polish last on you ? I'm finding when I do mine it's chipped the next day!! Tips welcome!

Are you capping the end of the nail?

Current lot on my toes has been on almost five weeks and is slightly chipping now. Thin coats, cap the end.

Well I attempt to cap but my nails are short! I wonder if I'm putting it in too thickly! I'm going to attempt it again and see what happens!

Does anybody know if you can use other brands of gel polish

Yeah I use all different brands with the sensational lamp. My favourites are fairyglow on Amazon but blue sky are also good. I've got an assortment of brands and never pay much and I find they last the same as sensational. I stick with the sensational top and base coat though. I use just cheap alcohol wipes from Amazon I think they are called mylee Smile

Ooh, does this actually work..? I’ve had the sensatuonail kit in and out of my basket on Amazon numerous times!
Does anyone know if the polish they do that you mix with regular polish to turn it into a gel is actully any good. I’ve got a lovely array of polishes, some of which were quite pricey that I wouldn’t want to give up but they chip so quickly I’ve stopped wearing them.

I gave up with my sensationail kit. Long nails and chips straight off no matter how much I apply

I have this and was never great but ive found a couple of verrrry thin layers lasts longer. But the sensationail Express range seems to last over a week...the one that doesnt need the top coat
