not so starry [SEP] thank you in advance to the amazon vine program for providing an item to review a positive review was not required nor was it requested and all words are my owngetting my nails done is not just a relaxing experience but it is also an expressive creative oneseeing this colorful and glittery set i had to get iti don t know about others experiences mine did not come with a brush or applicator for the little gel pots i remembered what my nail techs used to use small make up brushes and thankfully i had some that seemed to workthe black polish is necessary to get the desired effect i chose the purple glitter gel and after a few awkward moments i got a pretty decent manicure more of the black showed through there were moments when the purple glitter reflected but it wasn t what i thoughti haven t tried the other colors but this is fairly decent and easy to use not my favorite as there are other brands out there that are even easier to useoverall i m not too unhappy with it it s not something i would likely purchase again
