easy to use [SEP] easy to use and good for beginners since i do not do nails professionally and this is my first time using them i do not have anything else to compare them to other than a set that was used on me at a professional nail salon i gave this product stars overall because while i said this is my first time using these i have had professionals use them on me before and i felt that unlike the others these leave a sticky gooey feeling that was hard to wash off
