GelishSoak-Off Gel - Structure Gel Translucent Pink 0.5oz/15ml

I switched back from power/dip nails to gel. I wanted something that added a little more strength to my natural nail, but without using nail extensions. Following the basic Gelish instructions, I used this between the base layer and the color layer. The manicure lasted about two weeks. Some comments for this product say that this is difficult to take off. I just refreshed my manicure and found it was no more difficult than normal gel removal. I gently roughed the outer layer, applied nail polish remover until the gel was soft, (the same way it would be done in a salon) and then wiped the old gel off as normal. It applies like nail polish. It isn't hard like acrylic, powder or a nail extension, so I don't think alone it would suffice for nail extensions (you'd need something underneath it). The color of this product is a soft transparent pink. I used it first with color, and now I have it with two coats without additional Gelish color. With two coats, you can still see the nail bed beneath, but it came out very soft and natural. The product arrived quickly and was well-packaged. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I have pretty weak nails. They break, tear and I could never grow them out. My friend introduced me to gel manis, and I absolutely loved how much stronger they made my nails feel, but they were still a bit prone to tearing, and I'd have to get them done every 3 weeks. The constant gel removal made me natural nails so frail I had to stop for awhile.COVID happened, and I couldn't get my nails done professionally anymore, so I bought a kit, a gelish set and started doing my own and the one polish I could never live without now is the structure gel. They have made my nails indestructible. I only use one layer, and two on my index and thumb since they were the most prone to breaking. My manis last forever and they look so damn good. And since I don't break anything now, my manis get removed less often which means a healthier nail!I forgot to put the structure gel on my right hand this last time, and wow. The difference between my left and right are night and day. I'm extra careful with my right for now because it feels so much frailer than my left. Won't ever forget again!

I'm licensed as a nail tech, and with proper application and prep, this stuff is amazingggg. It's very good for French tip manicures and if you don't want to do a full pink acrylic, you can just take the top layer of the gel off. A coworker showed me this and I'm obsessed. Love it!

I notice a huge difference in the longevity of my manicures and how much stronger my nails are after using this stuff. I cannot believe what a difference this makes. I love this tint too because it looks pretty without color on. I always put a layer over the foundation/base, then add 2 coats of color, then my top coat. My nails always feel harder and stronger with this product.

I have been a long time user for the gelish structure gel, first time to try this translucent pink, the color is ok, quality is as good as expected. Not a huge fan of wearing on its own. Sinxe I would always cover it with some other colors gel polsih, just get this one or the clear one whichever is cheaper, both function the same. If you are looking for something good to wear on its own, I highly recommend the one in cover pink instead.

This color is so natural and looks great. I really like it better than a solid color. Your natural nail shows through. It also looks more like a natural French Manicure.

I was hoping it wouldn’t be as RED. I was hoping it would be this pretty pink I could put on under clear top coats, but even with a thin coat of this stuff my nails look too red. And translucent red makes the white of the nails look a funny color. Not sure if it will strengthen my nails…have to add to my review once I’ve worn it a few times. Likely best to wear underneath a stronger color. A shame, I really like the clean simple look without the hassle of trying to paint on white tips.

Perfect light pink color to add a bit of strength to my brittle nails.
