This is the best gel nail polish I have ever used. It dries so quickly with my UV light and it lasts a really long time.The Coffee (19) is more chocolate milk with a red tint than dark brown. Colors are never accurate with this brand, but I keep buying them because they last surprisingly well.I've used OPI polish and gel color for years, assuming it was best because it was used in salons where I had my nails done. A few years ago I bought the supplies to do my own gels to save myself the time and money. My biggest frustration has been with the sides of my white tips peeling up within 4 to 5 days of application. I was running out of OPI, and decided to try the OneDor white polish,, which costs $10 less per bottle. I am pleasantly surprised! For the first time since I've been doing my own nails, my tips have actually stayed in place for over a week. Another plus is that with my all OPI French manicure, if I had to file the end of my nail for any reason, within a day or two the polish would start to peel off at the end. With OnedDor, a few days ago I broke a nail and had to cut and file all the other nails to even them up. A half a week later, and all the polish is still intact! I find it interesting that I still use OPI base and top coat with this OneDor white, and the durability has increased so much. I wonder how long a whole OneDor manicure would last. My only small complaint is that the bottle is short, so the brush is short and stubby, which makes for awkward application, but I'm getting used to it. If the brush were longer and finer I'd give this five stars. Great product, great price!3 weeks and my nails still look great! No chipping, and the color has not faded.I ordered OneDor Gel Polish for my daughter. I was impressed by the variety of colors (47); she wanted to try 02 - White.Upon arrival, the OneDor packaging was attractive and the bottle felt solid and well-made. It would look good on her shelf. The lid was large enough to grip easily for good control and the brush ensured smooth application.The polish gel went on nicely with no streaks and a smooth finish. I thought she had come from a professional manicure appointment.Unfortunately, I did not read the product description on the website. It states directly and clearly that use of the polish requires curing under a UV or LED lamp (1-2 minutes). I missed this instruction and we don't have a curing lamp. So although the polish looked good going on, she was unable to use it. I'll have to get her a lamp next.The thing that I am looking forward to is the OneDor all-in-one application. I read that other gel polishes require multiple application layers and OneDor only needs one. Seeing how it looked when she applied it, I believe it.I was impressed that OneDor followed up with a customer service email after our purchase to ensure satisfaction. Once we get that lamp we'll definitely try it again.Love the color, it is very bright and summery. You can get by without base or top coat if you don't mind touching up the chips almost daily. I added a top coat & that extended the wear time somewhat.The reality of gel polishes, IMHO, is that you are not going to get the same degree of wear from a product aimed at the consumer market as you will with professional products, period. If you properly prepare the nail surface, use the approperate products to clean/prime/dehydrate/bond first, apply multiple thin coats, keep the polish off your cuticles, cap the polish and cure correctly you will get results similar to those from a salon and the polish will be just as difficult to remove.I am hard on any manicure, regardless if I do it or it is salon done. Maybe if I had staff I could order to do my bidding there would be a chance of getting 3 weeks out of a manicre but the demands of my day-to-day life mean no more than 10 days before a rework, especially if the color is really dark or very bright as mine usually are.C'est la vie, I like the colors and the price is right so I will re-order unless I find something with better value for the price.I've been using gel polish for years so imagine my shock when I tried to do my nails and all my polishes had disentegrated. All the color had separated and would not mix. So into the trash they went. I have to admit they were several years old. I have a tendency to buy more colors than I can possible use up. So I came to Amazon searching for gel polish and found this OneDor One Step brand that I had never tried before.Disclaimer: I bought this with my own money. Nobody sent it to me for free or for a discount. Honestly, I almost didn't purchase this because of all the reviews with disclaimers about getting it for free or at a discount for an honest unbiased opinion. Guess I am just skeptical by nature.To continue ... I received 2 bottles of polish yesterday (#25 Mahogany & #11 Currant). So of course had to try it right away. Removed my old polish (took forever because I had 5 coats of color, plus base, plus top coat). Wow, I love this one-step. Took less than half the time it usually takes me to do my nails. I love the color (applied 2 coats only) & my nails turned out just beautiful. They have a high-gloss shine, and they're hard as rocks. What's not to love. A few other reviews here complained about the smell; I honestly didn't notice any smell, at least not like regular nail polish (ewwww!)The other thing I loved was the price -- these are way less expensive than the brands I usually buy. I will definitely be buying more colors but hopefully I will show a little restraint. I do sometimes have the tendency to go overboard when I find something I like.Works just as advertised. Easy to put on and take off. I do have to reply every three days due to cracking but otherwise it works and looks greatFor this price point, I expected more coverage with just one coat. If you are going to pay this price, I recommend looking for GelMoments online - really the best quality of gel polish I have come across. Dark colours are adequate in just one coat. This blue is pretty, but it took three coats.Doesn't require a top coat and has good coverage but the color is very different from the picture- very bright opaque pink, not I was looking for.Worked well and cured within 60 seconds using a 24w led lamp. Lost a star only because it was not as matte as other polishes I’ve tried
