I was looking for a way to have pretty nails without going to a nail salon every 3 weeks, and I just found it! I was using regular nail polish but It never drys correctly on my nails and looked tacky. But this kit is just perfect for me as it dries better than regular nail polish and it is not as harsh for the nails as nail salon gel polish.
I just notice that the quality of the mini light with mat finish is not very good, because just with a few uses I notice the paint peels off the lamp. So, if you can, choose a kit with a lamp like the Pearlescence or the Rose gold one.
Another thing to be aware of is that you may not get the results that you want on the first try. In my first attempt at using the kit, the polish only lasted on my nails for about 2 days before it started to peel off itself. It takes practice to be able to make this gel polish last longer. They offer on this site tips that I think you should follow, it does help. I'm on my 3rd attempt and it's been a week and my gel polish is still perfect. Maybe purchase the top gel, I think it helps.
