The Yves Rocher Laque Effet Gel Nail Polish is a gel effect nail polish. Gel-effect nail polish is a nail polish that is semi-permanent. Meaning that it stays for long on your nails (for at least two weeks according to this article from The Cosmopolitan) without flaking. The nail polish stays impeccable till your nails begin to grow then you can change the polish. The nail polish is shiny and is less harmful to your nails.

Gel manicures are done in beauty institutes by professionals under UV light. But the Yves Rocher Laque Effet Gel Nail Polish enables you to do your gel manicure at home by yourself. And you know it's cheaper to do your nails by yourself at home.

I love the colour. This is the softest pink or beige I have seen. 

Another thing is that the smell of the nail polish isn't strong and indeed it is a good thing. 

The nail polish is quite light so I could apply it once or twice if I wanted it very light or many more times if I wanted it thicker. I applied it three times to obtain these results seen in the pictures.

To tell you the truth, on the sixth day after applying it, the nail polish on my fingernails started to crack and flake off. But those on my toenails were still perfect and shiny as they were on the first day of application for up to two weeks.

In my opinion, the nail polish on my fingernails started going off as a result of daily house chores which required me to dip my hands into water often. I cooked, cleaned, scrubbed and hand washed clothes as usual. I tried to be careful but I couldn't be that careful while doing the dishes or cooking or just doing my daily stuff with my hands.


So yes the Yves Rocher Effet Gel nail polish can stay on perfectly for as long as two weeks. But it will require that you stay away from serious house chores that will damage your nail polish.

If you can't stay away from house chores like me, it will stay impeccable for six days or let's say a week.

I also think that the nail polish cracked off because I applied the polish thicker on my fingernails than on my toenails. 

It's almost two weeks and my toenail polish is still as good as new. They are still shiny and nice to look at. I haven't worn any cover-toe shoes with them though.

My last thoughts about this nail polish...

I love this nail polish. I must say it's the best nail polish I've used for far. Most of the things I read about it are true. It stays shiny and stays on intact for a long. 

I love the colour of the one I used. It's a nude colour. It's visible yet very cool. And that makes a whole difference on the nails.

I advise that you apply it lightly - just one or two times so that it stays longer on your nails. It also looks better in the long run when applied lightly.

That's it for the Yves Rocher Laque Effer Gel nail polish review. I hope this was quite informative and useful to you.
