Gel nails home Kits

Hi all,
I’m looking for recommendations for gel nail Kits or gel nail polish brands that I could purchase .I already have the sensational nail kit and am finding those gel nail polishes don’t last on me, they lift straight away and peel off whole. Thank you

I have the Red Carpet Manicure system and really like it. It doesn't last as long as a salon gel manicure but is easy to use and is decent. They do gorgeous colours too. I also love CND Vinylux, not a gel polish but last a good week on me (my nails chip within a day usually).

I have the mylee lamp and I use bluesky polishes. They're brilliant! They last till they grow out and never chip and theres loads of colours. I buy them on amazon.

Iv got the gellux system. Recommended to me. Takes 30 seconds to cure. The gellux polish is nice too but iv also bought cheaper ones since.

I use the sensational lamp. (Did have mylee but it broke) I have a range of EzFlow trugel polish, CND Shellac and IBD just gel alongside sensationail

Most of the at home polish systems are the same product rebranded. To get it to last you need to do proper cuticle work, a once over (I do mean once) with a white block, cleanse then apply in thinking layers that are capped at the edge.
It's very important that you use the lamp that I'd matched to the products you are using if you want it to work properly and you want to avoid overexposure and reaction to the chemicals.

Thin layers. So daft that you can't go back and edit autocorrects on this site Hmm
