EASY TO USE [SEP] Easy to use, and good for beginners.  Since I don't do nails professionally and this is my first time using them I don't 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 3 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.
