MAGIC ARMOR Red Gel Nail Polish, No Need Base and Top Coat Fast Cure Soak Off UV LED Nail Gel Polish Classic Colors Starter Manicure Salon DIY at Home

Love the color but it chips easily

This gel polish is great! It’s thinner and less forgiving than other gel polishes I’ve used (Shellac, Gellish, Dashing Diva, etc.), so it takes a bit of extra attention to detail when applying. I also prefer to apply gel polish over the top of a regular nail strengthener (like ella+mila First Aid Kiss). That doesn’t work with this gel polish — it must be applied to bare nails to avoid streaks and pitting. That said, it went on quick and cured to a perfectly shiny finish faster than any gel polish I’ve used. One coat + one minute under the lamp = manicure done!There are a number of other reviews that are very negative. I suspect these purchasers thought they were getting a standard polish with a gel-like finish. This polish does have a strong smell. All gels do. My super sensitive nose didn’t find this one more disagreeable than others. Also, it must be cured under a lamp. I have a professional LED lamp, and it worked beautifully. This polish WILL NOT AIR DRY. Finally, I did receive the color I ordered — Clear Pink-036. It’s a lovely clear polish with a subtle, almost holographic pink shimmer to it. On my very fair skin, it just looks clear except on very close inspection. However, it has a perfecting effect similar to facial moisturizers with a faint shimmer. Overall I’m completely impressed and will certainly purchase more!

This red is gorgeous! It’s very shiny and bright. It lasted about a week. This was the exact red color I was looking for. The color is very opaque!

It peels right up if you scrape your nail on anything

Is good for 1-2 day wear. Will chip layer by layer after that.

Not sheer but I wasn’t looking for that. If your coats are too thick you will end up with a dry top layer with swishy wet paint underneath. I definitely had to redo those nails! As long as you keep your coats thin and light treat it dries nicely. The color is pink but not too bright. It doesn’t last as long as traditional gel but looks nice for a few days and is easy to reapply if touch ups are needed. Very convenient but not as long lasting.

I think you'd need like 4 coats to see any of the pink, just a sheer iridescent sheen

The product is a decent size not travel size bottle. The polish goes on smooth not too think and clumpy. Doesn’t run to side walls, two coats only needed, no top coat needed either. Overall the color is rich and vibrant true to the color swatch (I purchased red) gorgeous perfect color. Removal was easy. I removed with sanding bit efile and also tested with acetone cotton and foil wraps both superbly easy removal. I’ve used no top coat and considering I type for eight hours a day consistently it’s held up wonderfully. Normally within an hour I notice color rubes away from my nail on the free edge even when using top coat, but not with this polish. I highly recommend and I look forward to adding more colors to my collection. I love no need for top coat. One step polish is every nail girls dream. So far the only recommendation is they make a bit larger bottle. I will go through this quickly as I change my nail color each week. I hope this helps someone make a good informed choice.

I love the crisp white look with no extra top or base coat needed. It doesnt last more than 2 days though especially if you wash dishes or wash your hair. My toes were completely gone after being in hot tub.

Très beau vernis à utiliser seulement avec une lampe uv, afin de le durcir. Très beau fini uniquement après la deuxième couche. Je suis complètement satisfaite 🥰

I used it once, won't use it again. Have raved over other 1 step gel polish....this one doesn't do it.

I liked the product

Worst stuff ever
