Review (3/5): You get what you pay for
Buyer beware!
Pros:
Packaging was great. Nothing spilled out or burst open. Colors are gorgeous.
Shipping was ok. I got a message basically saying shipping was delayed due to my error of not providing the right address, yet I ordered 4 items the same day and provided the same shipping address. They supposedly corrected the error and got it shipped to me in less than a week.
Now, let's talk about the cons:
I can't say this product is a true polygel. When using the slip solution or isopropyl alcohol, the solution dissipated and the brush dried out within seconds. Once I was able to start smoothing the product out, I got one good pat before the product became extremely sticky and unmanageable due to the brush drying out. It definitely took some finesse to get it to work. Also, do not use the dual forms as the product is not thick enough to hold it's own without moving under the light. If you have paper forms or nail tips, you will have much better luck with this product. I will say it definitely took me way too long to do one set but filing the product was great and so easy.
After trial and error, if you want to take the time to make it thicker, put some on a smooth flat surface and add clear acrylic. Make sure to use a metal spatula to mix the 2 products if you so choose to. Also, THIS PRODUCT IS VERY STICKY. If you are not careful, you will get this product everywhere.
I would give more stars if the polygel was a thicker constancy and the brush didn't dry out seconds after dipping into the slip solution or isopropyl alcohol.
I will give this kit a try again when it's time for me to change my set, but I'm not sure I will purchase this kit again.
