Hi Kellie,

We’re so happy to hear that, despite the little hiccups, you’re loving your Instant Gels™ and all those gorgeous colours. We completely understand wanting to collect them all! Choosing a favourite is honestly one of the hardest parts 😍

We’re really sorry, though, that you’ve been having a little trouble with durability. Your job actually gives us a really good clue as to what may be happening. Having to open products and repeatedly reach into boxes, pull things from shelves and put pressure on your fingertips throughout a shift can place quite a bit of force on the free edge of the Instant Gels™. Even when the bond between the natural nail and Instant Gel is strong, repeated pressure or leverage on the tip can eventually cause one to lift or pop off, particularly with the amount of hands-on work you’re doing every night 😅

About the length, our Almonds are designed to be a shorter style, but we completely understand that “short” can feel very different depending on your natural nail length, hand size and, of course, what you use your hands for every day. If you’re putting a lot of pressure on the tips at work, we can absolutely see why you might prefer something even shorter.

That’s genuinely helpful feedback for us, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to the team as we continue developing the range. We’re always looking at how we can make Instant Gels™ work beautifully for as many different lifestyles as possible.

We also love your suggestion about including another glue and wipe! We’re always listening when customers tell us what would make their experience easier, this is genuinely super helpful.

In the meantime, we’d really love to help you get the most wear possible from your Instant Gels™. When you have a moment, please send us an email at support@glamrdip.com and pop “For Patricia” in the subject line. I’d be more than happy to have a chat with you about your prep, sizing and application and see if there’s anything we can tweak to help them stand up to those busy night shifts a little better.

Thank you again, Kellie, for the lovely words, the honest feedback and for giving Instant Gels™ a place in your mani rotation. We’re absolutely delighted that you love the colours, and we’ll happily cheer you on as you work your way through the whole collection! 💜

Warmest wishes,
Patricia

Hi Ashleigh,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re so soo glad to hear you’re loving the colours and finding the Instant Gels™ easy to apply  💜

At the same time, we're really sorry to hear that you had to deal with sensitivities. Unfortunately, they can be super tricky. The human body is wonderfully individual and what feels completely fine for one person can unfortunately not work the same way for someone else. We know how disappointing it can be when something you’ve enjoyed becomes something you can't comfortably use.

And honestly, this is exactly why we worked so hard on Instant Gels™.
We wanted to create another way for people to enjoy beautiful, salon-perfect nails without exposure to products they may be sensitive to. Hearing that you’ve been able to make the switch and continue enjoying GLAMRDiP in a way that works better for you genuinely means so much to us. That was one of the biggest reasons behind developing Instant Gels™, and knowing they’ve opened that door for you makes all the years of work that went into them feel very worthwhile!

I'm also so sorry to hear about the trouble you had with the adhesive tabs initially. It does sound like you discovered one of the great things about them, because they’re removable and reusable, you can simply pop on a fresh tab if one decides to make a run for it. One thing that can make a difference is the fit of the tips. You want to choose a size that sits flush against your natural nail from sidewall to sidewall. This helps maximise the contact between the adhesive tab and your natural nail. We'd really love to help and support you through the troubleshooting rather than leave you to figure it out yourself x

As for the length, we completely understand that the coffin/ballerina shape isn’t everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to length. It’s one of those funny things about nails where even a few millimetres can make a huge difference to how they feel day-to-day.

We’ll definitely take your feedback on board as we continue developing and expanding the range. Most importantly, thank you for giving Instant Gels™ a chance. We’re genuinely thrilled that you’ve found something that lets you enjoy gorgeous nails again, and we really hope you love your next set just as much x

Best,
Charlotte

Hi Carol,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Instant Gels™ We’re really glad to hear that once you found the method that worked for you, they stayed beautifully secure, although we’re sorry it gave you a tricky start.

There are a couple of factors can make a huge difference with the durability. The first is finding that perfect fit for each individual nail. Every natural nail is a little different, and even the tiniest difference in width or shape can affect how much contact the adhesive has with the nail underneath. Ideally, the Instant Gel should sit snugly from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping onto the skin. If it’s slightly too large, too small, or not sitting quite flush, it can create little gaps or movement that make it much harder for the adhesive to get a really secure hold.

The fact that the Base worked so well for you actually makes perfect sense, too! Like our nail adhesive, Base creates an adhesive bond between the Instant Gel and your natural nail, so it can provide that firmer, more secure hold you were looking for. The tabs are intentionally designed for a more flexible, temporary application, while the adhesive options are better suited to longer wear.

And please don’t give up on those remaining sizes just yet. Each Instant Gels™ set contains 32 gels across 16 different sizes, so there are quite a few combinations to work with. It’s very common to have some sizes left over after a set, and depending on your individual nail measurements, there may still be a way to use more of them than you think.

We’d genuinely love to help you work out your sizing and get the most out of the set you have. When you have a bit of free time, please feel free to send us an email at support@glamrdip.com and mention “For Patricia” so it can come directly to me. I’d be more than happy to go through your sizes with you and see if we can find a better fit for those remaining nails, we certainly don’t want perfectly good Instant Gels sitting unused x

Thank you again for sharing such helpful feedback, Carol. We’re really pleased that you found a method that worked beautifully in the end, and we’d love to help make your next set an even smoother experience from the very first nail 💜

Warmest wishes,
Patricia

Hey Emily,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. Honestly, your Instant Gels™ experience made us smile from ear to ear! We’re absolutely thrilled you loved them and that they held up so incredibly well through a house move, unpacking, building furniture and everything else you threw at them 💜

At the same time, we’re genuinely sorry for the experience you had surrounding your order. We know there were several points where we could have communicated better, and we completely understand how disappointing that must have been, particularly as a longtime GLAMRDiP customer.

The good news is that the special production of the Birthday colours for customers who missed out is now complete, and instructions for accessing those shades will be going out within the next couple of days :)

We’re also genuinely sorry it took a while for your order to reach you. To be completely transparent, we’ve been super hard at work on our warehouse processes, packing checks, stock planning, shipping partnerships and, importantly, the way we communicate with customers when something doesn’t go according to plan. While we’re already seeing improvements, we know that what matters most is that you actually feel that difference when you place an order with us.

One of the things we’re most proud of about GLAMRDiP is that we’re a real team of people who genuinely care about every parcel that leaves our hands. Every order is packed by someone who knows there’s a real person waiting for it on the other end, and we never want that personal care to get lost as we grow.

But being a small, human team is never an excuse for letting things slip. It’s simply a reminder that when we do get something wrong, we need to own it, learn from it and put better systems in place.

We’d really love the opportunity to make it up to you. When you have a moment, could you please send us a quick message through Instagram or Facebook, or pop us another email, and just pop “For Patricia” somewhere in the message so I can make sure it comes directly to me? I’d love to personally try and make it up to you.

Thank you again for sticking with us, Emily. We genuinely appreciate it x

Warmest wishes,
Patricia

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We’re so soo happy to hear you’re loving the convenience of Instant Gels™ and, especially, that you’ve found the variety of sizes to be a great fit for your smaller nail beds. We know how frustrating it can be when press-ons simply don’t come small enough, so hearing that the smaller sizes were perfect for you is something we’re absolutely delighted about 💜

We're a little disappointed to hear that the lengths have been a little tricky for you. When we developed the range, we actually had customers with shorter natural nails very much in mind. The Instant Gels™ are designed to sit over the natural nail rather than requiring you to grow your nails out first, we wanted to make sure there was enough coverage and length across the range for customers who prefer a little more extension. That said, we completely appreciate that what feels like the perfect length for one person can feel far too long for another.

About being able to see the edge of your natural nail underneath, depending on the length and shape of your natural nail, leaving a little of the natural nail underneath can sometimes mean it’s visible from certain angles. We certainly wouldn’t want you to feel like you have to cut your natural nails all the way back just to enjoy Instant Gels™, though!

We’ll absolutely take your feedback about having more flexibility with the length on board. The ability to customise the length while maintaining that beautiful pre-finished shape is something we know would give customers even more freedom, and feedback like yours is incredibly helpful as we continue developing the range.

Most importantly, we’re so pleased to hear that you found them easy to apply, that they’re staying beautifully secure, and that the sizing is working so well for your nail beds. Those are exactly the things we hoped Instant Gels™ would make easier!

And if you’d like, please feel free to send us a quick DM. We’d genuinely love to have a little look at your natural nail length and shape and see if there’s anything we can suggest that might help you get the fit and finish you’re looking for without having to cut your nails right back. We’d love to help you get the absolute most out of your Instant Gels™

Jennifer, thank you again for the lovely feedback and for giving our Instant Gels™ a try. We really appreciate you sharing the little things that would make them even better for you, and we’ll certainly keep your feedback in mind as we continue expanding the range x

Best,
Charlotte

Hi Jess,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. First and foremost, we’re incredibly sorry for everything you’ve experienced. Reading your review was genuinely heartbreaking because what should have been an exciting first order turned into one frustration after another, and that’s simply not the experience we ever want anyone to have with our small business 😓

We completely understand why you’re disappointed. Each issue on its own would have been frustrating, but having them happen one after another understandably left you feeling like you had to chase us just to get things sorted.

Regarding the £45 free gift, we completely understand why you expected to find £45 worth of products inside your parcel. While we have offered physical gifts with previous promotions, this particular gift was intentionally split between physical items in your parcel and a £25 gift code sent by email after delivery.

We send the code separately as a little surprise, giving you the opportunity to choose something you genuinely want rather than us selecting another product for you. You might already have a particular shade, need more of your favourite liquids, or want to try something completely new. We thought giving you that choice would make the gift more worthwhile.

We’re sorry that it didn’t come across that way and, without knowing there was still a gift waiting in your inbox, made you feel as though you hadn’t received what was promised.

Regarding the missing colour, I’m genuinely sorry. That was a packing mistake on our end and should have been caught before your order left us. You shouldn’t have had to identify it yourself.

I’m also particularly sorry about the return experience. There has been a genuine technical issue affecting our return-label generation system, including the QR-code option, but that’s our problem to solve, not yours. You shouldn’t have had to chase us for a label or wonder whether you’d need to organise and pay for the return yourself.

Looking back, your order was unfortunately affected by a combination of unexpected system issues and human mistakes.

Our latest sale was an incredibly busy period for our small team. Everyone was working incredibly hard to get orders out and look after our customers, but things that should have been caught simply weren’t, and unfortunately your order was one that slipped through the cracks.

That’s not an excuse, but we wanted to acknowledge it honestly.

I’d really love the chance to personally make this right for you, Jess. Please send us a quick DM via @glamrdip on Instagram or Facebook Messenger with your order number (or checkout email), mention this review, and ask for Patricia.

I’ll personally locate your order and previous conversation with our team and make sure your refund is processed promptly.

We’re truly sorry, Jess. There’s a real person behind every order here, and we never want you to feel like yours was just another number in a queue. We’d really love the opportunity to turn this experience around for you x

Kindest regards,
Patricia

Hi Kerry,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. We are genuinely happy to hear that you're enjoying the process and are finding great success with the longevity of your sets!

This makes your feedback on removal even more heartbreaking to hear. The removal process is such an important part of the whole system, and you should never be left feeling like you have to force, scrape, or battle the product off your nails. When used together, our Remove Solution and Remove Bowl are designed to make removal much easier, with the usual removal time taking 15 minutes. Gently filing through the shiny top coat first is particularly important, as it allows the solution to penetrate and dissolve the layers rather than requiring excessive force.

Our Remove Solution is also infused with Calcium, Keratin, and Vitamin E, so it isn't just about taking the mani off quickly but also helps keep the removal process feel gentler and healthier for your natural nails as well.

If you are open to it, we'd genuinely love the chance to turn this around with  personalised support. Small adjustments can make a big difference, and our team is very confident we can help you get a much smoother, cleaner result next time. We'd also love to send you our Remove Solution and Remove Bowl free of charge, along with step-by-step guidance from one of our mani experts so we can support you with the most nail-friendly techniques moving forward.

If this is something you'd like to explore, please feel free to DM us over on IG/FB or send us an email at support@glamrdip.com and pop Attn: Patricia in the subject line so I can personally take care of you from there 💜

Best regards,
Patricia
