easy to do but not that great [SEP] i saw a lot of negative reviews about this kit after i purchased it i have to say that these are way easier to do than regular acrylics i even put tip extensions on with my set a few days ago and so far so good i did end up with a few dips and ridges but it is been ages since i have done my own nails seems that the key is to keep your brushes clean between nails cleaning them in acetone working the muck out of the brushes seemed to help the hand go more smoothly in the process of cleaning the brush between uses the clear coat finish brush disintegrated in my hand so it is no longer usable also i have stored the items from the kit in their original bottles well sealed and in an upright position and the activator step a pretty important part of the process has disappeared evaporated completely i will never waste my money on the color club brand dip kits again
