I followed all instructions for use including shaking gel polish vigorously for over a minute before applying. Only used OPI gel. It would take several minutes for each layer to become tacky, no matter what color. I painted thin layers. I used OPI Bond Aid, OPI lint-free wipes, the N99, the whole shebang. Sometimes my color lasted 3 days before chipping, sometimes 2 weeks. I just found the product didn't deliver every time.

I also have the CND lamp and several colors of CND shellac. That system seems to work much better. Color lasts longer and is more durable.

Works great! Once familiar with unit, it's super easy and versatile.

I have only used my OPI lamp once and I have no complaints so far, I have read the other reviews and understand some worked for a couple months and then no longer worked, so I hope mine continues to work as I love it... everything I ordered came packaged, neat and secure however I did opt for the insurance because I had never bought items from beyond polish, I also bought gel polish which seems legit, as I have ordered from eBay in the past and the polish/base and top coat seem thinner than what they should be. I posted a couple pics the first is newly done, the second is a week of wear.. :)

I never received my order from Beyond Polish. They now have almost $250 of my money and I have nothing. Customer service was not helpful, blaming me and telling me it was my job to purchase insurance. I was never offered insurance during the check out process. It is the seller's job to insure shipments. I now have nothing and I'm out a LOT of money. Great way to treat a cancer patient on chemo and disability. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

horrible! used it for a few months and now it wont turn on. emailed customer support and they said go to OPI. Customer support at OPI said beyond polish is not an authorized retailer, so they cannot help me. Beyond polish has been unresponsive since then. I do not recommend this purchase.
