Quick Take: nail gel
It works well on soft nails but need to be persistant since it peels on them. Otherwise works well.

Review 2 for Gel Coat
officially addicted
-04.01.13
I am addicted to this product and I have only been using it for a week! I purchased this product to strengthen my nails because they always tend to break once they begin to get long. I used this item as a base coat and top coat last week and my manicure is still going strong. I spend all day on the computer for work and do CrossFit 3-4 times a week and my manicure held up! I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs assistance strengthening their nails or is seeking a long lasting manicure!

Review 3 for Gel Coat
Worth the $$$
-02.10.13
Yes, the price may put off; but this is the first time in over a year my nails have grown over the tips of my fingers! My nails began peeling in layers last year. Dernotologist suggested biotin which I took every day. No success with that or Bariel, or Nailtique, Nailtek, Sallly Handsen, you name it I tried it! Buying my second bottles in pink and clear; I use one coat of each and it does not chip or peel.

Review 4 for Gel Coat
Love It!
-02.04.13
I went years wearing fake nails and decided to take them off and grow my own. This formula has helped strengthen my nails so that I can grow them. I have ordered this several times and love it- even if it is a bit expensive! Worth the money and I will continue to use it!

Review 5 for Gel Coat
really works
-01.04.13
I chew my nails, always have. My nails have never ever been long in my life until I started using this. Immediately my nails are stronger. I still chew on my nails but they don't break anymore. This stuff really stays on and doesn't chip. After only a week my nails have grown long enough that I actually painted them red and they look long and nice. I am very pleased. I was hesitant before purchasing because of the price but this has worked so well I am willing to spend the money to try their other products as well.

Review 6 for Gel Coat
good for in between polishes....
-01.03.13
when your nails need a break, this is a good place to take them....it's a nice way to give them shine, dries quickly, and does not chip or wear like most clear/base coats....i also have the pink gel but it has an odd tint and seems to affect the color of any polish put over it....this does not..... however, this formula does not strengthen or harden my natural nails to promote growth so i cannot give this 5 stars for that reason......i do like the strength it gives them while wearing this gel coat and the pink gel formula also....

Review 7 for Gel Coat
I love this product
-12.17.12
Quick Take: awesome
I have been using this product for over one year now - I put it on after a manicure and it keeps my polish chip free for almost two weeks. I also find that my nails break less often since using this product. I highly recommend trying this gel coat.

Review 9 for Gel Coat
Gel Coat is Amazing!
-09.25.12
This gel coat is simply amazing. I had been wearing gel nails for a couple of months before and after my daughter's wedding and my nails were ruined, gel coat fixed them! They quit peeling when I started using it and just became more and more healthy. I would recommend this to anyone. For a quick manicure with no fuss this does the trick also

Review 10 for Gel Coat
A MIRACLE
-08.25.12
Quick Take: a gift from the heavens, totally works
I have very bad nails and I mean bad!!! Recently I had a gel manicure and was totally amazed - it was exactly what I needed for my nails to look good-later I went into my "drawer of tricks" and found Perfect Formula Gel Coat" which I had forgotten about and started using it on my horrible toe nails-
being more aware at this point due to ugly nails I realized what this gel coat was all about-$500% pleased-will be purchasing again. To me it's the Holy Graille for nails.

Review 11 for Gel Coat
-07.18.12
Quick Take: strong, long lasting
I love how durable this makes my nails and my nail color lasts, but I was not a fan of how long it took my nails to dry. My nails seemed to grow since this clear coat protected them from breakage

Fantabulous
-06.26.12
this is a great gel - it goes on easily and dries super fast and really does resist chipping and lets your nails grow. I like natural looking nails and this keeps them long and strong.

I love this stuff. Normally I have trouble getting my nails to grow nicely without the use of products that can irritate my skin. This stuff is wonderful! I will keep purchasing it as long as it is available.

Review 15 for Gel Coat
Good but not amazing
-02.23.12
I read a few reviews before I purchased this but I was still slightly disappointed. It may be too soon to tell how great it can be. I like how thick it is and it does provide a coating on my nails. However, I dont think it has been making my nails any stronger.

Review 16 for Gel Coat
Thank you Perfect Formula!
-02.20.12
took off my gel nails about a year ago and had nothing but problems with tearing, breaking, peeling, etc. until I bought this! Saved my nails! I am even able to grow some length - WOW. I just keep adding another layer of the formula every day or so, then start fresh once a week.

Strengthening
-01.31.12
Quick Take: strengthening
This stuff did a good job of strengthening my nails and taking the yellow out. It's not as thick as a base coat usually looks, but I use it as one anyway.

Review 19 for Gel Coat
Not what I was looking for
-01.21.12
This looks/smells like plain old clear fingernail polish. I was looking for a natural product that might nourish my weak, splitting nails, not a chemical cover-up.

Review 20 for Gel Coat
Best out there
-01.14.12
Quick Take: fantastic
I had tried everything to have pretty natural nails and nothing worked, until now. I had just removed tips and my nails were a mess...I starting using the gel coat...once a day...every week...as stated in the directions. Now people ask me if my nails are real. And they ARE! Try it--worth every penny.
