I bought this because I wanted something that would hold better than gel iq, but unfortunately it doesn't. To remove it from the nails, you have to soak them in warm water for 3 minutes with or without their oil, which is very strange since most people shower longer than 3 minutes, resulting in the nails loosening up after the first shower, it becomes like white bubbles at the edges. It also doesn't matter if you take a little or a lot of gel and make sure to cover the edges of the nails, the gel starts to come off your nails anyway.
