Recently, long-lasting gel polish has gained a significant at-home appeal, according to Allure magazine's December 2011 Beauty Reporter.

Through various starter kits and gel polish brands, the once salon-only treatment is becoming more accessible to the Do It Yourself (DIY) crowd.

The downside, says Allure, is that most brands carry DIY gel products that only last about a few days rather than a few weeks.
