I’ve been eyeing their shades for a while, and finally decided to treat myself to some new additions. The brown cardboard box arrived, securely packed, and I couldn't wait to dive in and see these beautiful gel nail polish bottles.
First impressions are everything, right? As soon as I opened the box, I was greeted by the sleek, professional look of the MelodySusie gel polish collection. Each white gel nail polish bottle is clearly labeled, indicating it’s a soak-off UV&LED cured formula, which is exactly what I look for in a quality gel. The generous 15ml/0.5 fl.oz size means these bottles will last me through many manicures, providing excellent value for money. I also noticed the unique hexagonal shape of the bottles, which makes them easy to hold and looks super chic on my nail desk.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the colors! I managed to snag some truly stunning shades. Among them, I found a gorgeous light blue-green iridescent, which shifts beautifully in the light and has such a magical quality. Then there's a dazzling light yellow-gold iridescent, perfect for adding a touch of golden hour glow to my nails. And for those days I need a little extra sparkle, I picked up a vibrant pink glitter swatch that just pops! The clear sticks with the swatches really help you visualize the true color and effect before applying them, which is a huge plus. The glitter in particular is so finely milled and vibrant, I'm already imagining all the fun designs I can create.
Applying MelodySusie gel polish is always a breeze, and I’ve found a routine that works perfectly for long-lasting results. I always start with a clean, prepped nail, followed by a thin layer of MelodySusie base coat, curing it under my UV&LED lamp for 60 seconds. Then, I apply two thin coats of my chosen gel nail polish color, curing each coat for 60 seconds. Thin coats are key to avoid bubbling and ensure a smooth, even finish. Finally, I seal everything in with a MelodySusie top coat, curing for another 60-90 seconds, and wipe with an alcohol wipe for that perfect, glossy shine. The UV&LED curing is super efficient, making my DIY manicures quick and salon-quality.
One of the main reasons I keep coming back to MelodySusie gel polish is its incredible durability. I typically get two weeks of chip-free wear, even with all my daily activities and chores. It's such an affordable and convenient way to keep my nails looking fabulous without the constant salon visits. Plus, being a soak-off formula makes removal so much easier than traditional hard gels, which is a huge time-saver. If you're looking to elevate your at-home manicure game, I highly recommend checking out MelodySusie's gel polish range. You won't be disappointed!
