Company
Danny Haile, CEO and Founder of Gelish, founded Nail Alliance North America. Haile is a two-time International Champion of Competition for pink and white Acrylic nails. Since 2009, Haile’s experiences have allowed him to see a need to fill the market gap. That gap was the separation of gel and bottle. Fueled by the idea of merging the two, Haile created what is now popularly known simply as Gelish. Gelish has produced over 100 colors and counting, and it has been sold in over 80 countries. The company now occupies a 220,000-square-foot facility in Brea, California, with the support of 300 employees. Additionally, Haile collaborated with Morgan Taylor after 25 years of experience to transform the industry once again and exceed all competition with the new lacquer line Morgan Taylor, which is the most recent of Haile’s projects and is named after his daughter (Morgan) and David Daniel’s daughter (Taylor).

All Gelish polishes are good, and I also enjoyed the gel top coat. The gel stays shiny for about a week, which is good for me👍🏽

I absolutely love Gelish gel nail polish. I’ve been using it for over ten years. There are lots of colors to choose from, and it holds up well.

Gelish is one of my favorite gel nail polish brands! It lasts for 2+ weeks, and as I’ve started to do my nails at home, it’s a wonderful gel even for new users. I got it for a great price from Nail R Us.

I like using the Gelish brand of gel polish. The colors are beautiful. The polish lasts a while. It goes on smoothly. I would definitely recommend this brand to someone.

I just started doing my own gel nails and extensions at home, and these polishes are great. I find them beginner-friendly and of very nice quality. I love how opaque they are, so I can use them for nails and then add a top coat to thin them out for a “jelly nail” effect. These are awesome polishes and are also the brand my nail lady uses when I go in. I really recommend these to anyone, from professionals to home users❤👌

I’m so happy and excited to have the Gelish Pro Kit at home. I liked that the kit included the starter pack products as well as a book on how to use it. Let me tell you, I will never pay for another manicure, ever! The lamp works amazingly. It cures each coat amazingly. For any thick coats, I recommend curing the nails twice and using a top coat too. I do this to make sure it’s all set.

says:
I had my nails polished with Gelish soak-off gel polish yesterday but it peeled off before I made it home. What could have been done wrong or is that typical of gel polish?
-
says:
Based on my experience as a nail technician who has been doing gels for almost ten years, they either did something wrong when they started to prep your nails or maybe they did not cure your nails under the LED/UV lamp long enough. You should go back and ask to have them redone for free.

I went today for a pedicure and manicure. I was recovering from a sprained ankle, so I asked the nail tech to be careful with my foot. She was very kind and caring and checked in with me throughout the pedicure. It felt wonderful. Then I inquired about the Gelish Dip powder for a manicure, as I have stopped using gel and other treatments for well over two years. The owner explained the process and the technique. She discussed the pros and cons of each type of process. The nail tech did my nails with the Dip powder, and they look phenomenal. I will be doing my nails again with Gelish Dip Powder!
