    Love!

    GelIQ is SO worth it. If done the right way, they can last 3-4 weeks. The nails in the second picture I had for 3 weeks, just did new ones (first picture). To make them last, I file the top of my nail so it’s not smooth, then I follow the instructions but I take more layers of the actual color than what it says. I STRONGLY recommend GelIQ! There are tons of videos on TikTok showing how to make them last better and longer!

    Side effects?

    I think the product is really good and the whole idea behind it is fantastic. But I've gotten worse nails and cracks under the nails in the skin that are recurring. I wonder if anyone else has gotten these cracks from gel iq? Since I don't know yet where they come from, but I get new recurring cracks when I change the color after 14 days. The nails have also "rested" which can be seen in the pictures. Is there anyone else who has had these problems?!

      I think it looks like dyshidrotic eczema. I have exactly the same.

    Not satisfied!

    Very hard to remove! I have worked in beauty for several years and am not completely lost on the subject, but even though I follow the instructions to the letter when it comes to removal, they don't work without damaging the nails. I bought this product hoping that my nails would grow strong, but I've never had such bad nails after use. The polish doesn't stay nice for more than a week either. Very dissatisfied.

      Hey Daniela πŸ€— Thanks for sharing πŸ™ It's so disappointing that it turned out to be a letdown. I really understand the feeling when you've hoped for a good result but it doesn't turn out as expected, especially when you're used to working with similar products. Sometimes the removal can be extra tricky, especially on drier nails. A tip that usually helps many is to use Gel-iQ Remover along with Removal Wraps-foil, which you can find here: πŸ‘‰ lyko.com/sv/depend/depend-gel-iq-removal-wraps- Do it like this: Saturate a cotton pad with remover, place it on the nail, and wrap it in the foil. Seal it well and let it sit for about 15 minutes (a bit different depending on nail type). Open one foil at a time and gently scrape off the gel with a manicure stick. Wash your hands and moisturize with cuticle oil afterwards πŸ’§ It usually makes a big difference! But don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions πŸ€— Have a nice day 🌸

    Not worth the money!!

    Doesn't work at all on my nails. Since I have fragile nails that easily split, I bought a whole kit with gel polish and a UV lamp and happily tested them in hand - carefully following all instructions. They held well for two days. Then they came off and took pieces of my own nail with them, which became even thinner and also rough on the surface. Thought I must have done something wrong, so I tested again with the same result. Got for me to fix my nails again the day before yesterday, and with Depend's own video in front of me, I carefully followed the instructions, in case I had messed it up last time? Today I have four left, the others have worn off and taken part of the nail surface with them. They look nice for a day, but regular polish lasts better and is gentler on my nail. I am REALLY disappointed in Depend.

    Gel iq kit

    Doesn't work at all for me or my family. Doesn't even last a week, no matter how carefully I apply and prep. Very unstable, can peel off the polish So nae… for the price of this, you might as well go to a salon

      Hey Hanna, thank you for taking the time to review! πŸ€— So typical if Gel iq hasn't been a hit for you, it seems to be a bit of a dividing line πŸ™ˆ I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe a seasoned and loyal user here can come in and give some good tips for sustainability 🀩🀞

    I've been going to the salon for so many years but got tired of trying to find times and booking several hours to get pretty nails. I've tried many alternatives, switch nails, etc., but this is the salvation. Now I get pretty nails in 30 minutes and they last for weeks!

    Works

    Once you get the technique of not getting too close to the edges around the nail, the result is really pretty. The durability for me varies on the nails, on some nails it has lasted up to 3 weeks while on others only 3 days. Hence the rating. I have soft/brittle nails that easily break and it's hard to get some length. I think this is good and gives my nails support without having to run to the salon for reinforcement. #lykoreview #depend #geliq #nails

    Very good.

    I have had my Gel Iq set now for a few months and I think it works really well. It's an easy way to do some extra pretty nails. The product also lasts a long time and I have more than half left despite doing my nails very often. It goes very quickly and it's much nicer to not have to wait 40 minutes for nail polish to dry for someone who has little patience and always has to do something with their hands.

    Hi!

    I wonder if it's possible to use the Depends UV lamp with a real gel? For example, mine is from Luunails and I wonder if they still work just as well?😊

      Hey Indra! It's hard to say since it mainly depends on how many watts are recommended for Luunails products. Best to find out how much is needed for their gel, it might work but maybe you need to have a longer curing time under the lampπŸ₯°πŸ‘ Take care!
