3 Minute Gel Nails

After my favorite Sally Hansen Fast-Dry Topcoat died out on me, I was in the market for a new topcoat.  I've repurchased the Sally Hansen topcoat many times and even though I love it, I wanted to experiment with a few others. That's when this Nail-Aid 3 Minute Artificials caught my eye. I couldn't pass it up for the price! Not to mention, I absolutely love gel nails but going to the salon every two weeks can get time consuming and costly. What did I have to lose?

Here are a picture of my nails before:

Here is after I used the topcoat:

You can see this top coat adds tons of shine, as gel polish does! But 3 minutes?! Not too sure where that comes from. It dries to the touch after about 15-20 minutes. However, I painted my nails and seven hours later when I went to sleep, it still left impressions on my nails. I also experienced chipping as any normal polish so it didn't last for two weeks as my gel polish does.

Overall, this is not something I would repurchase or even keep using. Have you tried this product out--if so, what do you think?
