For those who do their gel manicures at home UPDATE
I saw this new product! I'm heading to Target tomorrow for it!
I use the regular Sensationail kit now and I love it so to be able to use all my regular nail polish colors as gel nails??? Yes, please!
I wont need to buy the starter kit since I have the LED lamp, but they sell just the transforming gel for $8
Sensationail transformer kit
Refill kit
UPDATE
So I finally used this product with one of my Sally Hansen gel (no light needed) nail polishes. I did my nails Saturday night and so far only 1 tiny chip on my thumb so far. So it definitely works!
My two tips for using this are: 1. Use about 10 drops of each (they suggest 6) I had to remix more for the 2nd coat 2. Understand that you are basically diluting the color so it will be lighter than what you are used to from your regular polish
Also, there are 2 methods of using this. As a top coat or mixing. I did the mixing method based on a couple YouTube reviews I watched.

You can actually do a gel top coat over regular polish so there is no need for this

Yes! I bought the Sally Hansen gel top coat and used it over regular cheapo nail polish. Lasted nearly two weeks. And I do housework and stuff.
The Sally Hansen one - u don't even need a fancy light. You can use the one in your living room!

I should try that one. I tried the Essie Gel Setter top coat and it stunk. Did nothing

I find Essie to be overrated and overpriced

Me too. I know there's a lot of nail polish fans here but I simply refuse to spend more than 2 dollars on polish (except the top coat I bought).
I honestly love Sinful Colors. I do 2-3 coats and then I also do a little extra coat just on the tips of the fingers on my right hand (which I use as I'm right handed and tends to be exposed to more) and I always make out pretty well.
I had purchased pricey polish and it didn't do anything for me.

Yep agree. That and OPI. They chip so fast. I only use Zoya now

I used the Sally Hansen gel polish and top coat. It only lasted a day more than regular polish for me. Not exactly impressive.

Use the gel topcoat such as gelish or fingerprints over regular polish with a good base coat. Make sure the polish is completely dry and use a led light to cure it
