I was skeptical when buying this product but after a bit of research, I thought I would go for it as reviews were generally positive. I have been using my nail kit for 4-5 months now, it is a good alternative to salon nails if you are looking for something cost effective, if you get your nails done regularly BUT you will need to have a lot of time to spare as they take ages to do! It is completely untrue that they take 1 or even 2 hours to do. My first set with tips took 5 hours and honestly even with practice, this time has not reduced massively and my nails without tips still take 2.5 - 3 hours and im pretty confident with them. The one thing I will rate this product highly on and would say was honest marketing is, the condition of my nails after removal, they were much better than gel or acrylic, I was shocked at how healthy they were after removing my first set. It took 3 sets in a short space of time for my nails to be damaged and then I gave them a break as I usually would. So, that is great but these nails do not last 3 weeks + on your hands, my longest set on my hands lasted for about 10 days, they often chip in a matter of days or break very easily. I would not recommend this product if you do anything heavy handed for work or in your daily life as they will not last. I lost 3 nails on one hand from carrying luggage through the airport. I did them the night before for my holiday.. I wanted to wait awhile to write this review incase I just needed time and practice but at this point, I am doubting that. Another thing is, the packaging for the nail Polish bottles are very cheap and inefficient, the brush head and brush comes apart all the time and I can't even close my bottles anymore as they have broken so my polishes have dried out as a result of not being able to twist them fully to close. I would expect better quality packaging for this price and I definitely did not get 30 manicures out of my set. Overall I spent about 130 euros on this product and sure that's a lot more manicures than a salon would do for that price but the quality is not as good as it is marketed. I just did a set and when I put the top it on, it dried in and turned white and crusty, it looks super lumpy and gross, I assume it's because the polish has dried? I have done no more than 15 sets for sure and this is definitely my last one with these polishes. I am pretty disappointed that i did not get more sets out of this kit for the money spent and for the overall durability of the nails. Now I am unsure wheather to buy refill polishes or not as i have a lot of powder left, 35 seems like a lot to spend on polishes that I fear will just come apart again. If the brand were to upgrade the packing on the polish bottles, I would be more inclined to keep trying with this product. Also, a review on the lash lift kit, it js pretty good, my lashes lasted for ages BUT my eyes were very sensitive afterward. So be very careful when you are applying it.
