Gel manicures are an oddly polarizing topic amongst beauty-lovers. Some people hail them as a conqueror of chipped polish, while others fear them as the destroyer of nails. Their long-lasting appeal is clear, but it’s the acetone soaking removal process that causes the nail drama. This professional base coat from Orly marries the shine and longevity of a traditional gel, but eliminates the damage thanks to a peel-off formula that cuts the acetone-soaking timing in half. Wrap your nails in foil, remove five minutes later, and watch the gel release itself from the nails. Magic! And, less time equals less damage and helps you get in and out the door that much faster. The base itself is formulated with vitamins A, E, and B5 that promote healthy nails and minimize splitting and breaking.
