Review (3/5): Tried hard to like, epic fail
When I spotted the Mocmaki gel polish kit, several things caught my attention, the assembled color palettes to choose from and the number of polishes for the price.
The gel polish arrived packaged well. All gel polishes were tightly sealed, with no leaks, and came with application instructions. Disappointingly, these were the only positives factors. First, the bottles are made of cheap-feeling plastic, which surprised me. Second, the gel consistencies were just too thick, especially the glitter gels, note room temperature was a steady 72 degrees. Thus, I decided right then and there, the Mocmaki gel polishes were not for me.
There are a few honorable mentions however, all the colors were very vibrant and highly pigmented. The white and red applied the best, both brushed on smoothly and had a nice opaqueness after just one application, I still went ahead with a second coat, nonetheless.
Although not a professional nail tech, I do have over 6 years of DIY experience and have used many different gel polish brands throughout the years. The Mocmaki gels are by far my least favorite, but given the few bright spots mentioned, they earned at least 3 stars. Worth the price given the quantity, mmm sorry to say not so much.
