I have never bothered much with my nails. Regular polish chips off immediately, so there really is no point. I have loved gels and they last, but I really haven't had the time or funds to go to the salon regularly. I bought this a few months ago figuring it could be fun to play with at home for myself and my 3 daughters. It was such a great purchase! After a couple of manis with this set that went really well, I bought more polishes from this brand. We've done so many nails in the time since and here are my lessons learned so you don't have to learn them yourselves.-Prep, prep, prep. If you don't prep your nails properly, they will fall off whole pretty quickly. Adding a dehydrating step will help adhesion a lot.-For my oily nails that tend to be more fragile, I find the builder gel is a better base coat than the one included. Worth the price extra purchase and 90s of curing time.-The base coat and color coats WILL be tacky. Cure the base for 30s and color for 60s for each thin coat (2-3 coats, depending on shade for color saturation). All will be well after curing with top coat for 90s.-Sometimes the colors look streaky when applied, but they smooth and blend when cured and come out looking the way they should. It's like it melts together into a beautiful sheet of color. But I found it concerning when I first saw the streaks.-These tend to adhere really well to the free part of the nail and we're really hard to get off soaking with acetone. Save yourself the time and get the Aliver gel polish remover Revain sells. It removed this like a dream without the damage to my nails.-I have found that Modelones stickers on their polish bottle tops don't reflect the color super accurately. They tend to be brighter on the nail. Not a huge deal, but good to know.I've had so many compliments on my nails since I've started doing them with Modelones polish. There has been a learning curve and lots of touch ups as I figure it out. But I've had more compliments on these than with $50 salon manicures, so I am going to keep it up. And the bonding time with my girls has made it more than worth the price.
