Review (5/5): Great for beginner DIY, easy to learn.
This was my first time ever using anything on my nails other than traditional polish. And I can confidently say it's just as easy.
The polish is thick, but that makes it easy to work with. I'm sure we all have issues painting our non-dominant hands, but I find the thickness of this polish actually helped me keep my nails looking neat on both hands. The thickness actually helped me glue down my fake tips with the base coat, which feels incredibly sturdy.
My only con be that the black is actually a really dark purple, so you must make sure that you're getting good thin coats each pass through so you can build it up to appear black.
NOTE: as a beginner I was unaware that gel polish has a sticky feel to it once it's cured and I thought it simply wasn't curing. However I found through research that it stays sticky until the top coat is applied and cured, then wiped clean with alcohol or gel cleanser. Once that is done, the sticky feeling is gone for good. Also, it's better to over cure than under cure, don't rush.
