I'll admit that I have tried soak off get polish a while back. It wasn't the greatest experience, the gel polish seemed difficult to apply and needed far more than 2 coats. I was also not happy about using a UV lamp, so I only used the system twice
I set some time aside to apply the Madam Glam gel polish and was pleasantly surprised. I picked up some higher percentage rubbing alcohol and some lint free pads at my local drug store. I'm not going to get into the application process, there are a bunch of instructional videos online.
The polish was relatively easy to apply, with 1 coat of base coat, 2 coats of colour and of course the top coat. I think the key is to apply thin coats and take your time.

The only wear I thought was significant was at the tips and that was because I was unable to wrap my tips because of the shortness of my nails...so obviously I am going to get more tip wear. The shininess is slightly less also, but I think that is expected with normal use of the hands. Other than that this gel polish stood up for 7+ days, with no peeling, chipping or lifting up. I usually change my polish every 2nd or 3rd day, so it was difficult to keep it on for 7+ days. This would be an ideal system for a vacation or people who just like to do their nails once a week, every two weeks, or even every 3 weeks.
I did pick up 3 other get polishes to try, manis to come!
