Melissa's DeLush Downlow: What sounds better than pretty buffed-looking nails instantly? Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. And in fact, your nails DO look pretty great after applying this gel. And it does dry practically as soon as it's applied. It doesn't have a strong odor, either. But here's what I don't like: By the next day (or even the end of that same day if you've done a lot), it starts to come off a bit and look peel-y and not so cute. You pretty much have to re-apply whenever this happens, or be prepared to take it off then. For me, it's a good quick-fix for finished-looking nails, but you can get the same effect that lasts longer with quick-drying buff or clear polish. Bottom line? Good for a quick-fix if you are prepared to apply every day, but not a must-have.
