Great set πŸ’… could be perfect if…

I really like this set and it could be a FIVE STAR product ⭐️ if they fixed a few things. I hope to keep this review as simple and user friendly as I would like the kit to be customized! Please note that my opinion belongs to someone who has never done or even seen nails like this (YouTube doesn't count) until I got these and used them! I'm not an expert so I'm just speaking to a novice polygel user and nail enthusiast. BENEFITS: Great set with lots of fun extras! One of my favorite things is the blue light nail dryer! cool It's also a good size and seems long enough to fit four fingers but not as light as a thumb. It also has two buttons / time to choose 30/60. This is helpful because sometimes in your mid 30's you just want to harden your nails and then add or remove the shape of something. There are also times when it's desirable to heal them for the 90s so you don't have to play the guessing game, just hit the 60s and then the 30s. The colors that come with the set are dense, well pigmented and in a decent amount! The bottles were filled to the brim and looked exactly as stated on the tube. It also includes two nail polishes that can be used as a base coat and then as a glossy top coat. It's good quality and a good size! The kit also has a slip solution which is great! You can make your own by simply using 80% (I think that's recommended) medical grade alcohol instead. But this sliding solution is sufficient and works like a CHARME! The cuticle brush/pusher that comes with the kit is very good too! The nail file is good, but not outstanding. Various colors and sequins included in the kit are of high quality. The nail clip holding the shapes together is amazing! Be sure to learn how to use it! For a long time I couldn't understand what it was and why. The nail shape is great! There are many of them and it came and they are well made and very long. Maybe you just need the best nail file to deal with big mishaps! Great products included. If I haven't bragged about it and complained about it because I don't think it's good or bad, or I expected it to be bundled because everyone else has it and it's not something to brag about or not. NEGS: A great blue light thing doesn't seem high enough. I scratched wet nails now and then because there is no room for mistakes when growing! The next thing that could be better is a double ended nail file. It really breaks down after the first few uses and doesn't work hard enough to even out cured nail gel or file down cured grout on nails. Not only do you need a new and harder nail file, you also need an electric one. There should be more nail clips to hold the shape of the nail while you cure the color under the light. The nail file worked to file my nails but started breaking a bit when I used it on the nail forms and blended the shapes on the nails. I suggest you buy an electric one asap. I'm looking at a few and the prices range from $9.99 to $99. Since I only get my nails done and maybe my daughters if they let me, I'll pay $25 for one. May be. The worst thing about this whole set was a lame and horrible waste of time, space and paper instructions! You must post it on YouTube; However, if you google that particular kit or try to find a replacement for that exact kit, you won't. This name does not appear anywhere else. I think it's in a different language - just problems with the nail set. Many guides say that when using your slip, top coat, and base coat, you need to stick to the same brands so they all work together and literally stick together. They say that the top layer can sometimes ruin the polygel nail plate if you're not careful. Haven't tried any other brand yet and if that's not a problem I won't have any updates here until 09/2021 if this kit fits other brands, if not I'll either add another review (hopefully) or edit this one. So there is a lot of good stuff here and I hope you see it! Just a tip to look at some guides before you buy and get them kits they are familiar with as it is easier to buy poly gel replacement paints as well as base coats. Also grab the best file or several and even buy an electric one so you can make a nail, take it off and repeat it over and over to practice. Some kits even have practice and/or demo nails that you can use! But this one rules! I've found a new obsession that I love doing and I'm good at it! Watch YouTube videos and you will see how much fun this new hobby is and learn new skills! They are addicting for sure!
