PROs: came nicely packed in the box, bottles feel of quality (glass bottles), I LOVE LOVE the small brush on the base and pH bond (makes it easier and better to work with it), cuticle oil smells like lemons but not overly stinky, in general the system has a small but not as bad as a system like KODI is, easily can go a month without doing my nails i just dont due to growth lol CONs: top coat is thin (personally not a fan), not as shiny as other tops and stained quickly, pH bond is NOT. a primer but just a dehydrator that alcohol can be used for meaning you need to buy an actual primer if you like working with one,

Since COVID, I’m not getting my usual biweekly mania or monthly pedis. I had a UV light box for gel from several years ago. I dug it out and ordered this set so I could DIY. I did the 180 sec setting on my light box for each coat. I’m pretty impressed and likely to continue to DIY even when it’s safe to be back in the salons. Glad to get this four pack of full sized bottles at such a great price. Was able to purchase this and a color (Gelish Primrose and Proper is the color if your curious from the pics) for the cost of one mani.

So far I'm very impressed. I will definitely update with how long they last and see if they start lifting at all but so far so good. The polish goes on nice and smooth and is a nice consistancy. I like the addition of nourishing all as well. The real test will be seeing how long they last. It has been only 4 days ago far and no issues. When I do my gels with a good binder they can last 3-4 weeks. The quality of this set makes me likely to check out their polishes. Update* Its been almost 2 weeks and my nails are still doing great. They are not lifting or peeling. This is a solid product and I plan on trying their pink structure gel next.

4 full-sized bottles for 30 bucks! I couldn't believe the value and knew I had to order it. This set is wonderful. Great sizes and great products. I have done two manicures with this set and I removed them after around 2 weeks but there was no chipping and it could have easily lasted another 1 or 2 weeks. I have always struggled with doing gel manicures because they would chip after 2 or 3 days and just peel off. It was extremely frustrating, but everything has changed since using this set! NO CHIPPING OR PEELING! I start with an extremely thin layer of the base coat and scrub it into the buffed nail plate, cure, and then do another thicker layer of the base. Then I add my color, cure, and finish with a layer of topcoat. I wipe off any residue and moisturize with the amazing smelling cuticle oil. I'm extremely happy with this set and will get so much use out of it!

Ok first attempt to do gel nail polish on my nails. I am tired of polish coming off so easily so I bought the gelish kit fantastic four and used it with my favorite essie color. I love it!!!! I do my own nails regularly so if your not used to doing that this may be a little harder for you. I know I have to be careful of the foundation and top coat spreading to the sides of my nails but overall its really easy. If the finish lasts more than a week I would be very happy!!! I may update later but I'm already thrilled with it!! Oh and I didn't have a cleaner for the excess stickiness you have to remove at the end so I just used rubbing alchohol and cotton balls.

Very good - larger bottles than I expected. All in all would buy again, also could just go with the foundation and top coat separately (see notes for detail). A couple notes on use: - Make sure that when you use the Foundation you do it super thin and check for the correct cure time - it says on the bottle. It can be splotchy if applied inconsistently so sometimes I do two coats. Note that it is a dry wipe off, not a wet cleanser wipe off. - The ph Bond is pretty much just acetone to dehydrate the nail bed, so if that's what you're looking at, not sure you need it. - The oil is fine, but lotion works just as well.

I’ve been using the Red Carpet brand versions of all four of these Gelish ones. Gelish is by far noticeably longer lasting and easier to cure. I love the small brush on the Foundation base coat. Don’t love how sticky it is and how it tends to drip down the bottle when trying to wipe excess off the brush, makes the bottle all sticky. Fixable by wiping with acetone. Really love the wide and rounded brush on the Top It Off top coat! It makes application super easy and top coat is lovely shiny. (Attached photo was my very first time ever using tips and testing what this Fantastic Four and gel color over top would look and last like.)

So I purchased this brand because it was most used by multiple salons I’ve been to. After being quarantined and getting tired of regular polish I decided to give this gel polish set a go! I must say I am not disappointed at all. I read all the steps which is pretty easy and watched a video just to make sure I don’t waste my money and I must say I am impressed. The gel polish and base coats were easy enough to paint onto my nails and to control the amount of polish used. The top coat is my absolute favorite because it’s super shiny; I think it’s even better then the salon. I would definitely recommend this kit for your gel manicures; it has everything you need.

A great kit, especially for one such as myself who was just starting out doing my own gel nail polish. There are instructions on the back of the box which help out, and the bottles actually contain quite a bit of product. What is not included though is the cleaner that is needed once you have finished setting the top coat. The first time I used this I didn't realize I needed it, and my still-tacky nails didn't last long at all. After I purchased the cleaner, the final step (just wipe on after finishing each nail) my nails set beautifully. BTW..I used an LED light as opposed to a UV, as I found that UV bothers my hands (made them feel sunburned all of the time) and have found that gelish products work equally well with both.

I love to paint my nails but regular nail polish lasts about 1 day tops before chipping. I was tired of constantly having to fix my nails so I decided to purchase Gelish polish (from Sally’s) along with this kit. I am in love. The picture I shared is my nails on day 5. So far the longevity is amazing! I’m super happy with my purchase and I’m sure with more practice, my nails will last even longer.
