being a qualified nail technician myself, i love trying out new products.
my friend had had this kit bought for her as a christmas present and asked me to do her nails for her. i prepared her nails and gave her a manicure ready to paint. i applied the basecoat which went on smoothly, but then you cant realy go wrong with a bit of basecoat. then went on the pink layer of varnish.. which took quite a while to dry, but did dry with a smooth surface. i used the stickers supplied with the kit to apply the white to the tips, but i didnt find them much good. where i had painted the white on, which was quite runny so took a while to dry, it had seeped under the stickers and had smudged when i took the stickers off. so it all had to come off and be re-done. i never used the stickers the second time round, i painted the white freehand which i found much better. once this was done i used the top coat to finish, which was lovely. the manicure over all was very pretty, but it lasted my friend just a day as the white tips chipped very easily as you had to have two coats to get an even result.
