Sensationail were kind enough to send me their new Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit.
The kit comes with a mini LED Lamp, Full size nail polish mine was in the shade Gone Fission (a pale Glittery pink colour), plug, USB cable for computer or plug, nail file, wooden cuticle stick, nail cleanser, pack of 12 lint free wipes.
It's really quick and easy to use you firstly push your cuticles back, file your nails lightly and then using the gel cleanser on the lint free wipe rub it over the nail you will paint.
Next you apply one thin coat of the gelnamel making sure to cap the ends and place your finger in the led lamp. Inside the LED lamp there is a groove where you can place your finger so that it's directly under the lamp for curing.
You press the button on the top of the lamp and the LED lights should come on and turn off automatically after 30 secs .
If you need another coat apply it now and repeat the process. It is meant to be a one coat polish but in this particular colour I required 3 coats for the desires intensity I wanted.
If you are happy with the coverage using the lint free wipe with cleanser on, rub this over the nail and that's it your done.
Nails that won't smudge or chip.
The day after I used this I did notice that one of my nails at the top had chipped off quite a large amount but the rest was holding fast.
I'm not a big fan of the colour it's pretty but a bit too transparent for me. I will be trying it over some of the other gelnamel plain polishes to see if I can make some use of it.
I did find the gelnamel to be quite thick and considering you only need a thin coat to ensure it finishes correctly this was a bit worrying. However it went on well and only one has chipped so I'm pretty impressed I'm looking forward to trying more colours.
Day 2 more nail varnish has chipped off on the tips of three more nails. And one had completely come off
4 days in and even more had chipped off this is when I decided to remove it
It's really small
which is great for travelling. I found removing it not too bad you have
to soak the gelnamel in acetone for 10-15 mins and then it can easily
be flaked off. I actually grew to like the colour the shimmer is really
nice and I think on top of a plain pale colour this would really pop and
look great.
Overall it's a good little kit this is based on my first application and I still really like it even though it did chip because it really quick to 'dry' compared to regular nail polish and this has a nice shine which you won't get with normal polish unless you apply a top coat or a coat with shine.
You can buy the sensationail, Fuse Gel Enamel LED Starter Kit from the sensationail website.
