DND Gel Polish Set, Red Collection, UV/LED GelPolish and Air Dry Nail Lacquer, Matching Chip-Free Polish Duo, 0.5 Fl Oz Each

Painted my nails 6 days ago and they still look great! I’m very hesitant to go to a nail salon to get gel nails because they always feel so thick and chip or peel within a week. I’m a nurse and wash my hands constantly. I put base layer, 2 thin layers of polish, and top layer. OMG they’re better than nail salon nails. I have spent 10+ hours in the pool since painting them. I could have done a 3rd thin layer next time. If you struggle with painting your own nails this might be a little struggle.

These are the best gel nail polish and I will always stand by that. The colors are always amazing and smooth. This red was bright and exactly what I was looking for !

Okay this sounds crazy, but the color changed overnight. At first I was annoyed because I used the Lava regular polish on my toes and the Lava Gel polish on my fingers, and the colors didn’t match. My nails looked red and my toes looked the bright orangey red that I expected. As any DIY nail person knows, it takes hours. I didn’t finish my right hand, I was sick of polishing, so I went to bed with my left hand and all toes polished and the nails on my right hand bare. I woke up this morning and finally put the gel on my right hand. Lo and behold, it doesn’t match the left!! Overnight the gel on my left hand turned the same orangey red as my toes, the color I wanted! Now my right hand looks red but I’m going on with my day hoping it catches up to the left. I have no idea how or why this happened, but I’ll take it! Edit: yes, the color changed throughout the day and caught up, both hands were the same color by dinner time

If confidence came in a bottle, it would be this bright red DND gel polish. This shade isn’t just red—it’s powerful, bold, and a little bit dangerous (in the best way). One swipe and suddenly, I’m the main character, dramatically tapping my nails on a wine glass like a woman with secrets.The formula? Chef’s kiss. Smooth, rich, and ultra-pigmented, it goes on like a dream and lasts longer than my commitment to a skincare routine. Plus, the gel finish gives that perfect glossy, just stepped out of the salon look.10/10, would wave my hands around unnecessarily just to show them off again

I am such a fan of DND Gel! I have dozens of colors and Red Mars is kind of a bold pink red. Is it more pink or more red? I think it probably depends on the undertones in your skin and how many coats you apply. Red Mars applies like a jelly, a little transparent at first, but the opacity builds with each layer. This color does not have any sparkle. This is a pink red you can see from a mile away! It’s a challenge to capture the true essence of this color. But I hope my photo helps. I ordered this and Hot Lava at the same time only to find out that they are almost the same color, Red Mars is slightly more pink, Hot Lava has a little gold sparkle. I do all my manis at home and I am not a professional. I’ve used this with the top and base coat of the same brand as well as the Beetles brand. I prefer Beetles for top and base coat. This polish is easy to apply and lasts long too. For gel manis, I use an LED lamp I got from Amazon. I appreciate that this brand sells their gel polish with the matching color in a lacquer (normal polish) too. I’ve ordered several DND polishes from Amazon until I found out where to get them locally. I now realize the price on here is quite high. One star off because of the price. Other than that, I’m quite happy with this brand.

Beautiful color and my nails feel like I got them done at a salon!

Ordered Boston University. Gel & lacquer combination. Gel polish needs up light to cure. High gloss, no chip. Have used this brand for years.

Watery gel polish. The color is beautiful, the liquid consistency was not easy to work with. I had to apply at least 3 coats and play with building the polish at the tips.
