I tried on the 'Lincoln Park After Dark' which I find it
REALLY GORGEOUS!!!
This Gel lacquer thingy is very different from nail polish.
It comes in this type of packing and you have to use
something that looks like a water brush to apply them
instead of the usually nail polish brush.

*samples*

The colour is quite thick but after application it looks
PERFECT.
One of the few things I find quite special about this gel lacquer is that
its colour definitely shines compared with normal nail polishes.
Mainly it's because inside this lacquer uses a different top coat
compared with our usual nail polish's top coat. Hence, it lasts longer.

Secondly, this lacquer can last for at least 3-4 weeks depending on
how you take care of it etc.
The top coat colour will not fade off easily like the usual top coat.
So your nails will still look as sharp as the first day it's applied
on the 21st day of appplication. :0

Thirdly, yes! It makes your nails look absolutely gorgeous!!! =)

However, there are also a few downsides of this Gel lacquer.
First, it is quite hard to be removed.
You have to actually file it a bit and then remove it with
the nail polish remover specially for acrylic nails.
Since it lasts longer than usual nail polishes, its remover
has to be of some stronger type of remover.

Another bad thing about this is, the PRICE!!

According to my supplier, the price which OPI fixed for the saloons
is RM 60 each session.
However, you'll definitely see some saloons offering this service at
a higher price.
If they go over this price, you'll at least know what price to bargain！

All in all, this new thing is worth trying though I must say,
we must check our pockets first. For now, usually people apply the
gel lacquer in plain colours only. Usually, it is more advisable to do
only one colour in a basic pattern as if you use other decos such as
Swarovski crystals and so forth, your pretty-pretty
OPI Gel Lacquer would be cover up. :)

Leave us some comments // questions if you're interested ya.

There is the OPI Gel Trial Kit on sale but I think it's best
if you go for the manicure in the saloon first before deciding to buy it.
Afterall, it is not cheap. :)

Happy Shopping.
