purify 4oz

PURIFY

Every piece of art starts with a blank canvas. RCM's Purify cleans any oils or debris off your nails to prepare them for gel. It can also be used after application to cleanse the surface of your nail.

revitalize cuticle oil

REVITALIZE

Beautiful nails need more than a pretty polish. RCM's Revitalize cuticle oil nourishes your skin and nails so they're gorgeous AND healthy. Your skin can sparkle and shine just like your polish!

erase 4oz

ERASE

Our gel manicures last for 21 days, but that doesn't mean have to leave them on that long. When you're ready for a change, safely and easily remove your gel polish with RCM's Erase gel nail polish remover.

prep primer

PREP

The key to a long lasting manicure is a primer. RCM's Prep ensures that your gel products are perfectly adhered. The max adhesion primer is critical for a strong, sturdy set of nails.

structure gel

STRUCTURE

A building needs to be more than pretty to stay up, it also needs structure. RCM's Structure base coat gel makes sure your nails are strong and smooth for a perfect polish application.

brilliance gel top coat

BRILLIANCE

A good nail set isn't complete without a top coat to lock in your gorgeous gel color. RCM's Brilliance seal & shine top coat protects your nails in a high-shine gloss.

    I already have a Red Carpet UV light that I love but I needed to refill the products that come with it to make it work (prep primer, purifier, revitalize oil, structure base coat, brilliance seal and the nail polish remover) all the kits with those products were slightly over $30.00 and up and then I found this kit that had all of the above, another light plus a nail polish for just $29.99 so of course I got it, it arrived like 3 days after I ordered it and it didn’t come with just the bonus nail polish, it came with 4 bonus nail polishes and surprisingly they’re not colors that would be considered unpopular, they’re all very nice colors (I’m at work, if I remember to, i’ll Get pictures when I get home) Anyway, I was going to just give someone the extra light but it’s actually perfect for doing my feet because it’s shaped sort of like a stapler so it doesn’t have the hood like my first one has. It’s really a very nice product and you just can not beat the price. I’m keeping this seller on hand that’s for sure!!!!

    Red Carpet kit was recommended to me. This kit was just what I expected. I've only used it once so far. I was surprised how well my nails turned out since this was the 1st time I've done my own gel manicure. My only disappointment was the box was shipped in a thin plastic envelope so the box arrived damaged. I would have liked to be able to store all the components in the box.

    The light stopped working mid-manicure the third time I used it. Terrible product and service. I tried but couldn’t contact anyone for replacement or refund. Got stuck in an Amazon loop that product was not available for return or replacement. Very very disappointed. I will never by Red Carpet again!!

    Wonderful as expected. The only gripe I have is that you advertised the pink polish that I wanted in the photos , but this kit only had red polish in it. The clear is gorgeous as it always was, self leveling, it did not require grit filing , it is smooth clean and gorgeous when applied directly following instructions, and when it doesn't touch the cuticle as it specifies. It's endurance is medium hard, which is great for allready healthy nails. This product has multi application uses, and is a versatile answer to short or long time quality soak off gel applications. It can be filed, and filled weekly or at intervals depending on your needs or the adherence taken into consideration everyones body oils are different. You can use the base gel as a builder if you have time for curing and are patient with sculpting. If you adapt this product to your needs understand you cannot touch it to the cuticle or skin, or it won't stick, so use a foil form or tips if you need extensions. For basic manicuring, this product will out perform regular polish every time if you follow the directions. It is a versatile coating for natural or artificial nails, yet it performs as great as artificial builds when applied correctly. In thin self leveling coats, it has performed as great as acrylic sculptured nails when used in the correct manner. This product will chip if you bite it . It will chip if you dig at it, clip at it, or apply other products on top of it. You cannot mix this product with other formulated brands, or it will not work . Take care to apply to dry buffered primed nails or artificial surfaces or it will not bond. I reccomend using this product 100% with their own brand primers, removers, bases, colors and top coats. If you are not a chewer, you haven't a worry as long as you don't mix products, this is awesome. When curing in the light , you may experience 3 to 5 second tingling depending on the thickness, if applied in thin multiple coats of 2 or 3 passes, you will find this tingling of the curing reduced, and more uniform surfacing, if you try to apply large thick coats it will run, tingle and bubble because it is not designed to be thick . The pigment coats take about 1 pass to perfect. They are beautiful and hardy and most cure out as well as the clear base and top. They aren't suited for tiny delicate paintings of 3D or fine detailed paints, but they will hold non metallic glitters well. Metallic glitters will heat inside the gel and cause pain and pitting, cracking and splitting. I put this on myself regularly, and it is beautiful and simple to apply. You can expect a minimum of a week for oily nails , and for dry nails 2 to 3 weeks , for touch ups of slightly blemished nails with no lifting, you can use a buffer, the oil lifting cleaner, the primer , a thin base touch, and a thin top touch, and you're good to go. You can blend colors with this product, given the batch is good, you can ombre the edges. You can file , fill, or soak these off in foil wrapped cotton balls .

    3.0 out of 5 stars Think before you buy - go for the best lamp you can afford.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2016
    I researched the market and thought I was aiming at a middle of the price range kit that would suit my needs - I am a novice at gel nails and didnt know whether I would find it beneficial. Unfortunately I didnt realise quite how important it is to have a lamp that will cure in a reasonable time frame. This lamp takes 2 minutes to cure each coat and as you will be applying 4 coats (your thumbs separately) - it takes a long time to complete your manicure. Th upside is, it is portable if you need that facility.
    I have since found much better lamps for only 25.00 which cure in 45 seconds. True, I could have purchased the Red Carpet Pro which had a lamp meeting this criteria but it was so much more expensive. In hindsight I should have purchased the items separately but at the time I didnt have the confidence to do this. The supplier Ella Gray gave no cause for concern and I certainly didnt have any problems with the seller.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little set
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2016
    Nice little set, the polishes are great and can't fault them. I found the lamp a bit fiddly to use and actually bought another one but it worked fine (think it was operator error). However even with buying another lamp I still think it was good value for money.
    Seller was also great.
