These varnishes don’t come labeled with their numbers even though other sets from this brand I have received are. I have done my best number them myself but some of the reds were best guess.
The varnishes themselves are nice and easy to apply, perhaps a little thick so don’t overload your brush!
The manicure tends to last me around a week before chipping starts but I’m still learning how to apply them properly (I also have a manual job that doesn’t help!)
Great polish, easy to apply, be light handed though as it can be quite thick so wipe a lot of excess of and Do a thin layer, cure it then repeat until desired colour payoff!
I use a uv led lamp to cure it. Nice and smooth!
So I got this when it was on offer and this is the best decision I’ve made! This kit comes in a lovely box and could be ideal to gift. There are so many colours to choose from, so given the sun’s finally out I went with a bright colour, but looking forward to using the grey, black and two of the pinks, coral and burgundy!
I tried it as soon as it arrived and it was super easy and quick. It was very easy to apply, the bottles are small so the brush isn’t massive, which I like as I feel I have better control over the application. I love that you’re done so quickly and can get on with doing manual tasks straight away, rather than touch everything delicately in case of leaving a mark. I used to do it in the evening and leave a few hours till bed time and still managed to get prints on my nails in the morning, I think now I can safely say this is a thing of the past.
I had to purchase a UV lamp to cure the gel polish (LKE UV nail lamp) and the whole process was done in 15min.
1- Apply a layer of the base gel and cure for 60sec.
2- Apply a layer of colour (I only needed one with the turquoise so I don’t know if it’s the same with the rest) and cure for 60sec.
Both these stages made the polish feel a bit tacky to the touch, like nearly dry polish so I did 2x 60sec curing just to be sure but it was still tacky. Just trust the process.
3- apply the top coat and cure. Again I did 2x 60sec and the finish came out shiny and smooth just like in the salon. It tingles slightly if you put some on your skin around the nails so try and be careful when you apply but anything left on the skin comes off easily.
Honestly it’s a game changer for me, no more removing polish after only a couple of days because it peels off or polish that has pillow marks all over it, this looks shiny and professional, super happy with it!
Overall i’m Really happy with the product:
Base coat: great formula, really easy to apply, a little bit goes a long way, cures well in the LED lamp (I cured each coat of base coat, polish and top coat for 1 min to be sure it dried. Although I am confident 30 seconds would have been enough.
Top coat: also a great formula, not too runny nor gloopy, there is no requirement to prep any of the steps. The top coat dries without a sticky layer (in my view this is absolutely amazing – I have never before done my own gel nails and I was able to do an amazing job)
Colour: all the colours are really pretty. The formula IS a little on the thicker side, but I actually preferred this for the colour because it was easier to apply I thought that those polishes you get which run all over the place. I prefer a thicker formula which I could distribute easily and not get the colour into my cuticles. The brushes are a good size too so it’s really easy to apply.
Overall this product I highly recommend,the bottles of colour are small, but could easily provide between 3-5 manicures for all ten fingers in each colour. Considering that one manicure costs 30 in my area, that is approx 100 manicure (300) worth in one small pretty box 🙂
Drawbacks: the only drawback is the removal: it’s funny so many people have said that this polish came off within days – because I couldn’t get it off my nails even after soaking it in acetone for 20 mins! Mind you, I have tried to do this after applying many layers of polish (my first manicure was a marbled manicure with multiple colours – which is really great to do with these because they do not dry out and can be easily wiped off), and I have tried to take it off one week after putting on the design because I didn’t like to wear the same design for that long and wanted to change my nail colours. I suggest to try wearing for the full two weeks and probably by then there will be a little wear on the nails. There was a little chipping on the tip of the nail but I did this myself and I did not seal the tip of my nail with the top coat.
I attach a photo of the manicure I have just done and after sealing it I can see that this polish will not come off for next two weeks – for sure.
I will definitely recommend this product and will be buying more of the other colours from this brand, because the formulas are great. Disclaimer: the colours are fairly opaque, but I still used a base, two coats of colour and a top coat.
I hope this review clears up some of the questions which arise when purchasing these kind of products over the Internet.
