Best for a newbie with patience [SEP] First time ever doing this. I bought it for my daughters they couldn’t do it so I wanted to try it out for myself to see if I got ripped off. After trying it out I realized the reason they had trouble was bc they don’t have any nails to grip the fake nails to and they have the tiniest fingers which makes a difference. So I tried it out and I had a lot of trouble at first but once I got the hang of it it wasn’t hard. Tips i can give a newbie :<br /> 1) use the nails they provide. At first I thought to speed it up I would just apply the gel to my nails and I never got length. So I did it the way it tells u to and it made a huge difference literally lol<br />2) to make it easier to spread the gel use rubbing alcohol. In a small bowl put some rubbing alcohol and before u apply the gel to the nail dip ur brush into the alcohol wipe some off then apply the gel onto the nail. That’s the slip it gives and makes it less thick and goopy to work with<br />3)bc the nail setter is not that many watts u will have to set it several times to get it to actually set. I did it at least 5-7 times but I guess it also depends on how much gel you use<br />Overall I think it’s not bad for a newbie and will def use again but I will buy a drill for next time. The drill will help with removing the gel later and makes it much easier when u have to fix mistakes One of the gel tubes did pop broke I don’t know if it was my error but but just something to add in this review. I loved the fact it came in a cute portable box to contain everything together. I would buy again but it was tricky to learn and u definitely need patience. The first 2 hours we’re trying to figure it out and I only finished my right hand. Once I got to my left hand forget it i lost my patience ( I was tired) and all the nails popped off. I gave up and tried the next morning and got it done in 45 minutes.
