best for a newbie with patience [SEP] first time ever doing this i bought it for my daughters they couldn t do it so i wanted to try it out for myself to see if i got ripped off after trying it out i realized the reason they had trouble was bc they don t have any nails to grip the fake nails to and they have the tiniest fingers which makes a difference so i tried it out and i had a lot of trouble at first but once i got the hang of it it wasn t hard tips i can give a newbie use the nails they provide at first i thought to speed it up i would just apply the gel to my nails and i never got length so i did it the way it tells u to and it made a huge difference literally to make it easier to spread the gel use rubbing alcohol in a small bowl put some rubbing alcohol and before u apply the gel to the nail dip ur brush into the alcohol wipe some off then apply the gel onto the nail that s the slip it gives and makes it less thick and goopy to work bc the nail setter is not that many watts u will have to set it several times to get it to actually set i did it at least times but i guess it also depends on how much gel you useoverall i think it s not bad for a newbie and will def use again but i will buy a drill for next time the drill will help with removing the gel later and makes it much easier when u have to fix mistakes one of the gel tubes did pop broke i don t know if it was my error but but just something to add in this review i loved the fact it came in a cute portable box to contain everything together i would buy again but it was tricky to learn and u definitely need patience the first hours we re trying to figure it out and i only finished my right hand once i got to my left hand forget it i lost my patience i was tired and all the nails popped off i gave up and tried the next morning and got it done in minutes
