STEP 3: GEL GLAZE Shine is captured and reflected from every angle 
I recently was sent a few of the new L'oreal Paris Extraordinaire Gel-Lacque 1-2-3 polishes. I then promptly ran out and bought some more.

Basically it is a lamp free gel nail polish, an alternative to the shellacs of the world that is 1) affordable, 2) easy to use, 3) easy to remove and 4) has amazing shine.

First apply the base coat, let it dry. Then apply the colour in two thin coats (I usually do three to get the coverage I like). Finally apply the top coat and wait for it to dry. Thats it, you're done.
Step 1 - Gel Primer Step 3 - Gel Glaze

As it currently stands I am really liking these polishes. They dry super fast and are quite thin in consistency. I  find that two coats of the 2 step just wasn't' enough, it chipped too fast and just didn't last as long. I started to use three coats and noticed a big difference in the wear of the polish.

Did it last? Ok three coats of colour is the key, but not matter what I do no polish lasts long on me, so I cannot comment on their claims. What I can say is, it lasted much longer than regular polish and stayed super shiny the whole time.
I personally loved how shiny the polishes are once the top coat is applied.

I definitely think they are worth checking out and giving a try.
