Pros: Works similar to Shellac and stays on for a long time. You can use your own regular nailpolish so there are lots of colours to choosse from. Does a great job if you follow the directions properly.
Cons: Take a long time because you have to do your thumb seperately from your fingers.


I purchased this item because going to the salon to do shellac is just getting way to expensive.  I love using dark colours on my nails but I really do them myself becuase they end up chipping within two days of putting the polish on.  When I saw I could use my own polish colours with this item that is what sold me.

The item was shipping out really quickly and was in perfect condition when I received it. The only thing it doesn't have included that I would like to see is a cuticle oil.  I had my own so it wasn't a problem.

If you follow the directions properly the colour will stay on a really long time.

There are a few things to really pay attention to:
1) Don't let the top coat get too close to the sids of your fingers.  It will harden on your fingers and then it will begin to peel and also it will feel funny.
2) Make sure to put a bit of elbow greece when you use the finishing liquid to really clean off the nails at the end otherwise they feel a bit gummy.
3) Have a stop watch or something near you so you know when to do the next coat.
