I am blown away at the quality of this product. This was my first time using a gel nail manicure on myself and I did quite a bit of research before purchasing on how to apply the correct way and the dos and donts. I’d say my nails turned out very good for a newbie. Honestly, they were giving me salon vibes because it looks 10x better than just your average nail polish. For this look I did a thin layer of base cured for 30s, builder(my nails are really thin so I wanted to add thickness) cured for 30s, thin layer of color( I used the red 0687 & honey she gives ?) cured for 60s, thin layer of color for a second coat cured for 30s, and then the clear top coat and cured for 30s but it needed a bit more so I hit the 30s again and it was perfect! I will say that I was so nervous about this because of the mixed reviews but mine came flawless works amazing and I’m a super happy woman right now best thing I’ve gotten myself in awhile! ****** ladies this lamp is HOT so I did hold it above my hand about three inches because I noticed that it was tingling on my middle and left ring finger and I didn’t want to burn my skin or ruin my nails so if you find that your skin is a bit more sensitive just lift the machine up a bit and pull some of that heat away from you ;) your welcome. Also, wanted to mention that all of the products this kit comes with look great quality especially the nail files!! I posted a pic of my box when I received it, an inside photo and some pics of the color outside as well.

This is an amazing product if you are trying to start doing gel nails. Amazing choice for beginners since it includes everything you need to get started! The actual products are long-lasting and reliable. this is my second time buying this kit and I have no complaints. Perfect as a gift for anyone!

Overall, I liked these polishes. Each sample is two coats with a MEFA top coat. A couple of the polishes were thickened and were somewhat stringy. Once that was removed from the nails I was able to cure and the color looked great.
