Review (5/5): Worth the Practice！
I had tried at home acrylic sets and they worked fine, but the poly gel is much easier (in my opinion) for beginners to get the shape they want. It does take practice, but if you follow the instructions, you'll be fine. My only suggestion is to let your natural nails grow out a bit before applying. I'm a nail biter and didn't have much for the poly gel to hang on to, but they're going strong now six days in. Practice, practice, practice. This is a great alternative for going to the nail salon.
