Most Helpful Positive Review I love this lamp! I have never had a gel manicure, not even in the salon, so I cannot compare to that. I'm anemic with brittle nails that constantly break, so I have to have polish on at all times to try to stop the ripping. And I swim. I have to do manicures twice a week and was hoping for something more long lasting that wouldn't ruin my nails like acrylics. I tried this kit and the SH one. I LOVE this lamp! It easily fits my large hands, and is more enclosed than the SH one so the light doesn't bother my eyes. Turning the light on was weird at first but you just lightly tap the button and it goes on. Proper On/Off switch on the bottom, which SH does not have. Very easy to use. Just follow the instructions EXACTLY. You also need to paint the tips of your nails to seal them in (the one thing the instructions don't say). The polishes it comes with are very gloppy and hard to get thin layers on, plus no Top Coat. Practice with these polishes til you get the hang of it, then buy a different better brand. I did get the top coat in the Holo and Chrome sets and really liked it. Those are super cool finishes too. Super cute and you can use it for pedicures. Even the USB cord is pretty. Really can't complain. I loved it so much I bought the mini for touchups while traveling. Even my husband thought it was cool, lol.
Most Helpful Critical Review It's fine The kit is beautifully packaged, the lamp is very cute and works with the nailpolish. However, I think the nailpolish is just okay. It's quite difficult to apply, the colours do not match the pictures on this site or social media at all, and to my experience so far it lasts over a week but I do not think it will make it to two weeks. Also, to get an okay look you have to apply at least 3-4 coast of polish and more is definitely better. The application process therefore takes a long time and is way over the 15 minutes promised. In my experience you can easily spend an hour due to the extra layers, plus the 60s dry time is often too little. I think it is still worth it compared to normal polish but there are some factors to calculate into the purchase of this brand for sure.

Essentially I paid for a LED light for my Chanel gel polish because if I wear this brand they will smell me a mile away.
Never going to the salon again! 5
Chel from California
This kit is amazing, my nails look like I just got them done at the salon and I get compliments ALL THE TIME. I will say it does take a tiny bit of practice, especially if you are only family with regular nail polish. I started off using way too much polish and found that it wouldn't cure. If you follow the directions, and don't give up too soon, it WILL work and you WILL absolutely love it. Anyone giving this set a bad review either did not follow instructions, or tried once and gave up. Buy it! You won't be disappointed.
Great kit 4
Rosa from undisclosed
The kit is easy to use but the lighter colors need more layering so it's a bit hard to get a solid look with the lighter colors. The dark colors work great!
So easy! 5
Brooke from undisclosed
I'm a gel manicure newbie and this kit made it so easy to learn how to give myself a professional-looking and lasting manicure. I'm a huge fan of the colors included in the kit and love the large size of the LED lamp! The only complaint (and it's a small one) is that I have a tough time fitting the lamp in the pouch.
Small problem,But liked product 4
cute nails from Fort Worth,Tx
I really enjoyed this product the only reason I don't give it a 5 star is the nail polish smell horrible. it's such a strong smell I get nauseated and that's all 4 polishes smell the same. overall packaging so pretty ,super cute.
Wonderful product! 5

I wanted to find a product for doing my mani at home due to pandemic situation but I didn't expect it to actually reach a professional quality: this kit proved me wrong! I must say that it is truly amazing. easy to use, very fast application and durable results.. generally it lasts from 7 to 15-20 days, it depends on how much I stress the hands with chemicals and housekeeping :) I'm absolutely satisfied and will definitely try other colours in the future!

Colours do not correspond 3
Patracia from undisclosed
The set is easy to use, but the colours on the gel bottle do not correspond with the colour you get in your nails it's a bit disappointing

Simple and elegant 4
Karen from undisclosed
The product is easy to use, goes on very nicely. I would recommend 3 coats for the lighter colors, and an extra minute in the lamp for the final coat, to clear up any sticky residue. Looks really great once you add that last coat!!
Love the product! 5
Lilia from undisclosed
Love the kit! The colors are very pretty. I just used it for the first time and absolutely love the outcome. I cured it as stated and no tackiness at all. Much faster than nail dip and regular painting, I just ordered more colors!! LOVE!

It's so easy to apply, no need for all these extra base and top coats. Saves me a lot of time and my nails look like I had a professional manicure.

Very good quality 5

Very satisfied! Really high quality and very equipped kit. The shades of the nail polishes are beautiful. I recommend it for all girls who want to have their own manicure! Outstanding results!
Way better than multi step gel polish 5
Kat from WA
Just used this for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it! Gel polish does ask for attention to detail in order to look good. It's been years and I am so glad we've evolved to polishes that don't require multiple steps to cure.
It's vegan, doesn't contain many harsh ingredients, and within an hour I completed both of my hands.
The LED cures just fine. The polish is hard and not tacky at all once you're done.
One of my nails is a little sore but I assume that's bc if something I did during application and expect it will be fine by tomorrow.

My order arrived timely (no COVID related delays, yaay!) but I was a little disappointed when I opened the package. The top of the lamp looked scuffed but I first assumed it was the plastic packaging that was scuffed which is typical. Unfortunately, the lamp was actually scuffed and it had some kind of residue all over it but which was strange. The lamp worked with no issues though so it was just cosmetic. Considering the price, I expected the product to come flawless. Maybe a tissue or foam placed in between the lamp and plastic packaging would've prevented the scuffing? The polishes are beautiful colors, with antique rose being my favorite. This is my first gel at home set so I am sure there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to applying the gel since the consistency is different than regular polish. I love that I can do a mani and pedi without a huge lamp (it's a great size). I have pretty small hands and I can't put my thumbs in to dry, but after looking at other options I choose this one because of sizing and already considered the potential of not being able to cure all 5 nails. The beautiful velvet bag holds lamp well but it was a bit of a struggle to get it in. I'm satisfied with my purchase overall.

Lacey from undisclosed
Wow! Day 4 of wear and I am totally impressed! Love that this product is easier to use than most gel kits, no base and additional top coat needed! Just color and cute! I have been disappointed in the past with other kits that peel in one day, but not this! And I am not easy on my nails either, I am a teacher and constantly washing my hands.
Just like the salon 5

I'm a new mom and don't have the time (or money) for nail salons anymore but this is just as good - you'd never know the difference!

Amazing Product! 5
Victoria from undisclosed
I've tried multiple gel polish systems, and this is by far my favorite. Nice high quality lamp, pretty polishes, high gloss finish. Easy to use and I got a great mani on my first try. Love the polish formula too!
