This shade is the perfect nude for my skin tone (NC20). It is a milky beige-peach shade with a slight pink undertone. I only gave it 4 stars as I do generally find China Glaze polishes to chip faster than OPI and I also prefer the brush on OPI polishes. I would definitely re-purchase this shade though as it is a great nude colour.

I have been doing my nails for a long time now, but was a really late adapter for the soak off gel craze. I have just recently started using sog. I have used Gelish, Jessica, Orly, OPI, and China Glaze Gelaze gel polishes. So far I have been the most pleased with the formula of the Gelaze, I have very little issue with pooling at the cuticles (the Orly was a nightmare), shrinkage after curing (that was a real problem with the OPI). I use gelish foundation and top coat, and 2-3 thin coats of gelaze for the best results. I have found using the gelaze in this way I get very good wear, usually I remove after one week simply because I want a change of shade. Only once have I had it lift and pull off, that was Dorothy Who, on one nail that I did a poor job of prepping. As far as price goes, these are a bit more reasonable than most other brands of soak off gel.

These polishes are great! They lasted two full weeks without chipping. They were on sale for four bucks at Sally's so I decided to give them a try. Would highly recommend!

I've always been a do-it-myself manicurist. I'm extremely picky and usually don't like paying for something that I can do better myself. After deciding that gel wasn't as difficult to remove as I was dreading, I've invested in a few products. As a reference, no matter what brand or color I'm using, I always start with Gelish foundation, lay down three coats of color, and then finish with Kiss Gel (old formula) top coat. I do this because I'm very hard on my hands (I used to work in what essentially amounts to woodworking, using lots of tools, machinery, adhesives, and solvents).As for color polish, I've used Gelish, Red Carpet, OPI, Sally Hansen, Orly and Gelaze. Gelaze has been by far my favorite of all the brands. I've found with all others, I have to fight the polish shrinking back from the free edge and cuticle. It got to the point where I would just work one nail at a time, which ends up being far more time consuming. I've had very few problems with Gelaze shrinking back. In addition, I find the color of the bottles are truer to color than with other brands. There may be some slight variation but they're much closer than the colored/printed labels other bottles use. A prime example is Gelish's You Dare, I Glow. Label shows the color as a dark purple but the polish itself is a vibrant magenta, like the flowers on purple iceplant. (Also, the color is gorgeous but the shrink back is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE).I also find that Gelish wear time is excellent. I could easily go three weeks between manicures if it wasn't for the nail growth. Now, it may be because I use base, three coats of color and top coat but again, I do this because I'm rough on my hands. If I'm going to spend an 45 minutes to an hour doing my nails, I don't want to cut corners just to have to re-do them in a few days. I don't want to have to worry about them for another two weeks and with this brand, I don't.

These are my first gel polishes. I'd been intrigued by the idea of gel manicures for years, but only really decided to take the bait when I found out that China Glaze released their own line. The idea of wearing a gel version of For Audrey was just too great to resist. To my delight I got the starter set with Ruby Pumps along with For Audrey and Fairy Dust for Christmas along with a Sensational lamp. After some consideration, I decided that Ruby Pumps was more holiday appropriate. I decided to follow the directions that first time. Application was good, and although two were sufficient for opacity I went for three to get a deeper hue. Given my inexperience with gel and having to rush halfway through the manicure, however, I had some flooding and missed cleaning the cuticles first. As the polish lifted off my skin it lifted off my nail as well. Consequently that first manicure popped off within two days, after I took a long bath. Oops. That one is on me.I then wore For Audrey with Fairy Dust atop, and decided to also add a basecoat and made extra sure to clean my cuticles before curing. I removed the manicure before New Year's to wear my usual New Year's Eve manicure, but it had stayed intact. I felt that the basecoat added a little more structure and peace of mind. I did notice some slight, but not significant pulling at the free edges that first time that appeared to had disappeared with the basecoat, so that's the main reason why I deducted a lippie. I also did my mother's manicure, also with Ruby Pumps, on Christmas. I also followed the directions to a T with hers. As with me, application was great, and I didn't experience horrible pulling from the free edge. Ten days later she had very minor tip wear and a chip on a thumbnail, but her nails otherwise looked good as new. I had to look very closely at her hands to even notice the tip wear, to be honest. Removal was a breeze with a 20 minute acetone soak. Only one nail needed to be resoaked for another five minutes. I also realized after the removal that I had forgot to file the shine off and it still removed beautifully. Pretty cool.All in all, I'm very impressed with Gelaze so far. My mother was also very satisfied and stated that she loved the entire experience. I'd say it's worth a shot.
