Changes the gel nail polish game!

I absolutely love gel nail polish. I love how quickly it dries so you can get on with your day, I love the smooth finish it gives, and I love how much longer it lasts than regular nail polish. But I hate how difficult it is to take off - it takes forever, you need a certain type of polish remover, and - in my case anyway - it usually destroys my nails.

Enter the Born Pretty gel base coat. I decided to buy a set of gel nail polishes for myself and I bought this brand purely because it was cheap. But it is absolutely amazing!

The idea of this base coat - which I actually didn’t realize for a while because it doesn’t specify it on the bottle - is that it can be easily peeled off rather than having to soak your nails in acetone to remove it. You simply apply some cuticle oil to the bed of the gel, and it comes off smoothly without taking your nail with it.

The only issue with this base coat is that it does tend to start peeling off on its own after about a week. This isn’t a problem for me at all because I usually like to change up my nail colour every week, but if you wanted to keep the same nail colour for a couple of weeks it might not last that long.

I love this gel polish and have recommended it to so many people! Even if you’re not sure it would work for you, it’s so cheap that it can’t hurt to give it a try!
