would only recommend if you know what you re doing [SEP] this is the second dip powder kit i ve tried fyi i own a lot of extra buffing blocks and a nail drill that i bought separatelypros doesn t come with clear dip powder base coat even though instructions says to use it the colors stain my friend did red and it made her fingertips red the nude color is a bit too nude and looks like my skin tone the top coat bottle brush hardened almost immediately after using it for a few coats i went thru three extra brush heads just to finish my top coat and ended throwing them all out because they all hardened within secondswould i recommendmaybe if you know what you re doing don t think i d recommend this color palette though the other dip kit i used had its own difficulties too i just think dip powder is harder than it seems
