easy to do but not that great. [SEP] (12/15/18) 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's been ages since I've 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 2nd hand go more smoothly).<br />6/25/19: Update to add: In the process of cleaning the brush between uses, the clear coat/finish brush disintegrated in my hand, so it's 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 2, a pretty important part of the process) has disappeared (evaporated, completely)!!! I'll never waste my money on the color club brand dip kits again.
