Bad investment, poor performance requires item exchange

I want to do my own gel nails to keep my nails healthy while maintaining long lasting color and save money by not going to the salon every day . Month. But the items in this set are of low quality, so my nails are weak after everything that happened (the nail polish peels off immediately after a day or two). Ultimately, this set is not the best investment. You need to replace the items in this set due to poor performance. Pros: The box it comes in is perfectly organized. Cons: The color doesn't last more than a few days. It peels off instantly for several reasons: - The lamp has the lowest wattage (36 watts) so you need to buy a more powerful lamp > 70 watts to dry in minutes and you can apply more coats of paint without chipping take risk . within a day or two - the paint is of poor quality, you need to apply at least three coats of paint. If the varnish does not dry completely due to the power of the lamp, then it will peel off sooner - the base and top are not of very good quality. I had to buy a better brand. It lacks a nail drainer, so you'll have to buy one of the ones you don't want your nail polish peeling off. Also, make sure you DO NOT get a layer of polish on the skin around the nail. because it comes off as soon as your skin gets wet from the water. Make sure you remove any paint that has come in contact with your skin before putting your hand under the lamp (so it doesn't harden). With a higher quality lamp (more power) and a nail dehydrator, the color stays on my nail so I can just peel the excess off my skin without lifting it off the nail. Because the paint actually dries and has less moisture. Of course the box is nice, but with a higher wattage lamp needed it might not fit in the box. Both the top and bottom nail polish are not of the best quality, so you will have to get another one. And you also need to buy a nail dehydrator ($5) to make the nail polish last longer. I just got a new lamp and nail dryer and when I applied the next layer of nail polish I noticed a difference. The polish actually dries completely within 5 minutes. I use glitter as it only takes 1 or 2 coats for a pretty look. (When I color I have to apply 3 layers, which increases the risk that the varnish does not dry and therefore peels off).
