Pretty Decent Set! Avoid If Sensitive to Smells!
This is a pretty decent set! For $25.99 (at the time of writing this review), you get a lot of items!!<br /><br />I love that it comes in a cute little caboodle box! Everything fits in it great! So all of the stuff is together in one place and it’s small enough that it’s easy to store!<br /><br />The little pots of glitter cake together in a little zip lock bag, which I appreciated because some of the glitter had spilled out, so that kept it contained. It was only a few glitter particles, but I was still glad it was contained to the little bag! The poly gel tubes each come in their own little bags too, which I thought was nice. None of them leaked, but if they had it would have been very messy had they not been in a bag and still messy if they weren’t in separate bags. So, even though mine didn’t leak, I’m glad the company thought of the possibility and planned ahead just in case!<br /><br />The polishes all come in their own box. I wish they would have labeled the OUTSIDE of the boxes. The only thing on the boxes were “Nail Polish” on 2 of them and “Gel Nail Polish” on the rest. Since 2 were supposed to be the top and base coat and only 2 said “Nail Polish,” I figured those were the top and base coats. I was wrong. I’m not sure why 2 said “Nail Polish” and the others said “Gel Nail Polish,” especially since they’re all supposed to be Gel polishes 🤷‍♀️ So, I had to open each box and look at each nail polish bottle to see which ones were which. The base and top coats were labeled on the outside of the bottles. BUT, the colored polishes weren’t labeled in any way. So the only way to figure out which color was which was to open each one. A minor inconvenience, but annoying when they could have just labeled them with the colors! So, I ended up putting a dot of the polish on the top of each box so I’d know in the future. It would just be nice if in the future the company labels them better!<br /><br />The polish STINKS! It smells like burnt plastic 🤢 All Nail Polish stinks, but I’ve gotten used to the “regular” stink of nail polish. Smelling burned plastic while painting my nails is not something I’ve gotten used to! But, for the price of everything I got, it’s something I can deal with. But if smells bother you, this is not the kit for you!!!<br /><br />The UV lamp works okay. I took a few times of turning it on to get the nails to dry, but it’s small so I wasn’t expecting too much and they did and it was still faster than if I painted my nails with regular polish and waited for them to dry. So I’m happy!<br /><br />Overall, it’s a good little kit! I love that it comes all together in the cute little caboodle box. I love that you got an assortment of polish colors and an assortment of poly gel colors. I love that it came with the base and top coats. I love that it came with a UV lamp. I love it came with the tool needed for the poly gel nails. I love it came with glitter, foils, and strip tape to decorate the nails. I didn’t like that the polishes weren’t labeled better and I didn’t like the burnt plastic smell of the polish. But for everything I love and the affordable price for everything you get, I can get past those 2 things I didn’t like!!<br /><br />I’d say the only thing that would make me tell you to avoid getting this kit would be if you’re sensitive to strong smells because of the burnt plastic smell from the polish. Other than that, I’d recommend this kit!!
