great as a starter kit [SEP] let me say this was my first time trying polygel i really like how polygel is hard like acrylic so my nails will not break i also like how this kit comes with natural beautiful colors for my skin tone i love how if i wanted i could make the polygel long on my nails but i do usually like keeping my natural length i looked at other polygels and heard that they can be really soft making it easier to manage on the nail but i would say opoves polygel is not too soft still definitely manageable it is hard to make the nail not thick before applying on top of your nail but with patience and time my nails will come out great and you can always file the thickness down overall great product and i know it will last a long time
