I wanted to love them but just didn't [SEP] I really wanted to love these, I have been doing my own nails far before quarentine and used many brands. I like the sample kits like this so I can get versatility and perfect my nail craft. These polishes are not user friendly, the color does not spread evenly and it took 3+ coats to he decent. I would not at all consider myself a beginner and I had a hard time with application and longevity. Colors are beautiful but I will be trying other brands.
