AIMEILIHema Free Base Gel Nails, Soak Off U V LED Clear Sheer Gel Polish, 4 in 1 Nail Strengthen/Enhance/Base Coat/Color Set Of 6pcs X 10ml - Kit 46

The media could not be loaded. Great peachy and white tones, the nude color one is a very beautiful nude for my olive skin tone.Bought these to help grow out my nails as they are over filed. Rubber base gels are supposed to have some give that helps thin/weak nails grow without being so hard that they can break easily (compare a silicone straw to a plastic straw.) these have less give then I’m used too but still great.This was used on a warm Texas day but the AC inside was on full blast so the product was not warmed up but actually cool. I mention this because the formula was super thick but the self leveling was on point.Great coverage, great colors.No issues with peeling or lifting.Planned on using polish over these but the colors were beautiful I used it alone. Tip- since I did all the colors on my nails I just did a white toned gel over the pinks and it looked like an ombré effect. So try doing a pink base and last layer a white tone over it, ombré hack for long nails sure it won’t work on short nails as the light can’t shine through the tip.Also…weird test but I do tend to expose my nails to heat a lot by either grabbing hot food with my nails like tongs or turning hot tortillas and this formula withstood that. Another brand I have would sorta melt back, hard to see but you could see the edge of my nail and the polish would be perfectly round but no longer at the edge of my nail. This has not melted and has stayed perfectly at the edge of my nails. A cooks dream builder gel I guess!

These have allowed me to wear gel manicures again. I'd been doing my own nails for years and randomly started to react to it, so I took a break for a while. When I started again, I used sensitivity products and tried to get HEMA-free products. This is the only one I actually don't react to, and all the colours are stunning. I'm able to use these to attach full cover tips as well, and I'm so happy I can have my manicures back because I felt so sad without them. I will purchase these forever, thank you!

Thick consistency, takes a big more work to apply but super durable.

This year I started doing gel nails at home. However, due to improper care, ( I cured the gel that was on my skin and didn't remove it immediately ) I started developing an allergic reaction to regular gel polishes. My cuticles would swell and my hands would always itch like crazy. I also ended up with a crap ton of small blisters on my fingers at one point. It happened to be contact dermatitis, as per google lol.So I decided to try these out along with their base and top coat and absolutely enjoyed them. I did not get any reaction at all. The rubber base was of medium viscosity which I prefer compared to more flowy products and the colours are pretty nice as base colours.The only downside I have come across is that the heat spikes that occur when curing is strong. I am not sure if it's just my nails but they're pretty painful. Fortunately they only last a couple seconds.Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.Edit - I would like to mention that the smell is quite pungent and not that great. It's not the worst but the best either. It's manageable for me and I get used to it as I carry on with each manicure.

I have thin and "bendy" nails that make it difficult for hard gel manicures to last, as my nail is flexible and bending under the hard gel of my manicure/extension causing the product to lift from my nail. Rubber base gel was introduced to me as a solution, and that is how I use it. It is now the first layer of all my manicures, with or without extensions, and helps build shape and strength without lifting AS MUCH. One nail at a time, I apply a thin "slip layer" of rubber base and then take a larger amount of rubber base, plop it near the base of my nail and push it up to my cuticle line and then float the product down the middle of my nail, creating a sort of "V" line. After floating the product down, I float the product towards the side walls if it has not already started doing so on its own. This product self-levels pretty well. Then, I flip my hand over, palm facing up, for 30 seconds to a minute to help create an apex. I always check the leveling, from the side and with my finger pointing towards myself, before curing. Once cured I proceed with filing any unevenness or small bumps. Sand to etch the surface a bit, then go in with builder/base gel/polish/etc. Whereas before I could maybe go 4-6 days before seeing lifting, I can now go 12-14 days, depending on how much energy went into nail care. There is definitely a learning curve here, so I would recommend first time users allocate plenty of time for the beginning nail sessions using this product. It is quite viscous. The smell does not bother me, but I still always use a mask and suggest others do as well, especially if they are sensitive to nail product smells. All in all, don't get me wrong, there is still lifting, however it has been noticeably reduced and does not happen as quickly or as often, effectively doubling the lifespan of my manicures. Because of that I do not have any complaints.

I’ve been doing my own gel manicures for over 10 years and have a professional light. My nails are naturally thin and flexible, so I use builder gel to help strengthen them. I heard a rubber base is more flexible and will bend with my nail, and therefore won’t lift. I’ve tried this a few times now. Applies easy, and is good for leveling out imperfections, and looks nice. Unfortunately, it only lasts a week at most before it lifts. I do all the proper nail prep steps, but still have lifting. I had high hopes a rubber base would work for me, but it doesn’t. If you don’t have issues with gel polish lifting, this will probably work great as a builder gel for you.
