Great quality, but colors are not as bright and rich as portrayed :(After doing research about how to charge glow-in-the-dark nails using my UV light I went ahead and swatched all the colors under UV light so I could see which colors could blend together in a full set!I am apparently very horrible at my nail prep in addition to being hard on my hands when at work; the full set I did on my left hand ended up popping off but it looked similar to my other attempt of an ombre above. I created my main nail using nude color, and did a impromptu French tip on the tip of the nail after a cured. It was easy to spread with just the tube itself but BEWARE of Air pockets in your tube. they do not seem to be full either so be strategic w/the design if yours is not either.After shaping up as much as I could my cuticle area and the nail shape itself I went ahead with the most glossy topcoat I could find in my kit— if I were to try any decorations I would probably choose my velvet matte topcoat instead.Fun Fact: if away from your UV light you can charge the nails with you phone flashlight (i have an iphone 12) they don’t last too long but it’s really nice to look at truly for the price and illuminationA little tricky to spread but the colors are true to the label my daughter loved it.This is 1 week after I got them done I'm not a professional and I'm still learning so they are not perfect but I like them better that other brands I tried beforeI have purchased a few different “off brand” sets of poly gel, and I use model one kit with the pink lamp. This set, next to model ones, is the best I’ve bought.The gel is not too sticky, buildable and there tubes were full as they should be!I’m so sick of buying poly gel kits where most of the bottles don’t have enough gel to do a fill in, much less a single set. It’s a waste of my money and my time while leaving me angry!So, since this kit has what it says it’ll have I’ve rated it higher. I took one star off because I feel some of the shades are more opaque than shown in the photos, but my daughter continuously wants her nails done in a color from this set. If needed, I just mix dry the color she chooses with a bit of white so it makes the color a bit more solid colored, so far this has worked great.I also feel it’s a bit more sticky than the MO kit but it’s easy to navigate, just make sure you let the slip (or alcohol) dry a few seconds before curing and the end result will be just as good!Pictured above, is my daughters hand. Her nails are grown out (we’re doing them today, she’s been at camp) and she mixed two colors on this finger. You can see how the white mixed in makes them sort of a milky color instead of see through. The tip of her nail is the darker blue (it is lighter than the bottle or stock photo shows) and the base is the green color.The only color in the box I’d say is almost exactly like the stock photo is the bright pink, but even that is muted some.Again-STILL a good buy as the bottles contain all the product they should, and almost any colored poly gel I’ve found have an opaqueness to them.Will buy again, will buy more from this company.I have used many DIY nail kits because I love doing my own nails, but I also love that it saves me bookoos of money. As a beginner I started with dip powder, but then decided to try this and it is 10x easier. This poly gel is beautiful in color, stays on well, and is very sturdy. I do shorter nails (as pictured) and as the tubes look small, it only takes a small amount- anywhere from a pea size to four peas- to mold your nail and it not be thin. I cannot say enough good things about this brand. The other brand I have used doesn’t stay on near as long and isn’t as durable as this one. If you’re looking for a cheap, easy, DIY nail kit— use this one!Note: you will need a UV light, molds or foils, base gel and top gel. I also use nail dehydrator after filing my natural nail and before applying the base gel to help the nails last longer.Loved the colors and got many compliments. The gel isn’t thick enough. I got many bubbles, and a minimal slip solution isn’t helpful. Full disclosure I’m NOT a nail tech. Just a woman to want to save money, and get creative. Any tips are welcome.The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the colors are different then the picture the only color that is the same is the white the red glitter should've been made with red instead of clear polygel it would have given it the look like on the picture black is like a marble you can see you real nail under it. They use clear polygel with the colors when they should use the color of the glitter to give it that look like on the picture just my thoughtFirst gel was rock hard, put it water to soften, went to put gel on dual forms only to Literally have to squeeze over halfway before anything came out! Then spread it only to find when dried it was blotchy as seen in photo. Just if not barely enough for one set. Raging waited for this product to go on sale only to be let down!!.Lovely colours, the poly gel is easily moulded and not runny like some I’ve used. They are really long lasting, I did a set nearly 3 weeks ago and they are all still intact.Absolutely crap all the colours are the same it's so rubbish no applicator I was excited to see different pretty colours but instead got a lump of thick mess with all the same sprinkles of glitter CRAPVery beautiful colour but cannot seem to keep it on my finger nails for long it’s keep falling off need more adhesive to all it on my nails.The product doesn't cure under uv light as expected the surface looked cured but when touched its evident that the under layers are unsure and my nails are sticky. 20 years qualified nail technician.
