Review (5/5): Way better than the old way - practice makes perfect!
I used these for the first time last night and had very few goofs. I have only three nails that have bubbles and that's only because I let go of the form too soon. You should keep steady pressure on it for about 20-30 seconds before you let go and take off the excess. I also started to leave it alone for about ten seconds before I popped it off. I am NOT a nail tech, but I have done my own acrylics the old way two or three times. Let me tell you I will never do it the old way again! There are NO bumps or ridges including where the white tips were put on. I used the clear acrylic this time instead of the pink and clear so I could figure out how to do it first. If you look close you can see that even when you are holding pressure on the nail, there is space for the form to do the actual "molding". I got mine at Sally Beauty supply in a kit that included everything you need (acrylic liquid, powder, tools, etc.) for $35. It was cheaper than buying everything separately. On the box it says it can do up to like 15 sets or something. Definitely recommend it.
