Review (3/5): Patience is a must and stay in the lines!
My first attempt was a complete mess! If you cannot paint in the lines (aka without getting on the skin around your nail) leave it to the professionals. My second attempt was much better but still needs work.
You want to put on your coats thin. Best to use the base on one nail, dip into powder, clean up and then move to the next nail. I wouldn't put the activator on until you have your nail looking how you want it. Once the activator is on, good luck getting it off.
Not sure how my patience will be once I want to remove or change the color.
The colors that came in the kit are not exact matches to what was shown online.
Overall, I think if you have the patience you could have salon looking nails at home.
Side note: there is a smell to the product, especially the gel top.
