Gel Nail Polish Starter Kit - 6 Colors Gel Polish Set Base Top Coat, 36W LED UV Nail Lamp with Full DIY Gel Manicure Nail Tools by Vishine 8ml #12

This is a positive review with two small caveats at the bottom. Admittedly, I've never really cared to get professional manicures (I've had my nails done at a salon four times in my life). I wish I was more into it because I think I'd take better care of my nails. When my cuticles get dry, I tend to pick at them, create hangnails, etc. Not great. With the pandemic, I saw a lot of folks trying at-home kits like these, so I thought I'd give it a go with the goal of simply taking better care of my hands/nails. When I finished this first go, it left me with the same feeling that I've had historically once I leave a salon—I actually enjoy looking at my nails. They feel pretty, professionally done, and I don't want to screw them up. The fact that this kit will last me awhile at the same price as a salon manicure is really great for me. I truly do recommend this kit—but also know this glowing review is coming from someone who doesn't get her nails done really ever.Caveats. The color that appears to be a deep burgundy came out to be more of a deep dusty rose for me. I truthfully didn't mind this because it's more of a wearable color to me. I imagine it would take quite a few coats to achieve that deep richness in the photo, but the kit directions even say to try and keep your coats thin to achieve success. The rest of the colors are pretty accurate to what's provided in the product shot. I painted the colors on the box I received for reference. The pink doesn't look great because it's rather sheer and just created a wet spot on the cardboard.And last note, it's really important to not let the polish pool where the nail meets the skin or paint on top of any dead cuticles. Both of these scenarios means that the polish is not fully adhered to the nail, so it may start to peel. It has been four days of wear for me with the nails still looking great, but I do have the slightest signs of the polish peeling where it had pooled a bit on one of my nails. This was a user error.

The media could not be loaded. This gel polish starter kit is fantastic for at-home nail care! The kit includes everything you need to achieve a salon-quality manicure without leaving your house. The polish applies smoothly and lasts for weeks without chipping. The UV lamp is compact yet powerful, curing the gel perfectly every time. I love the variety of colors included—there’s a shade for every occasion. Easy to use and professional results make this kit a must-have for anyone who loves doing their nails at home!

Got this as a gift. Pretty straight forward if you’re used to gel nail polish. Colors dont exactly look like the pictures, but still nice colors, the lighter ones are more sheer. Be sure to prep your nails properly, cap your nails, and dont get any on your cuticles/sides or it lifts quicker. The first time i did them i used a lighter color, had to do more coats (3) bc of the sheerness and did not do a good job prepping. They lasted 2-3 days before they started chipping and peeling off. I was sad, gave it another try with darker color and did the proper prep work as well as i creased the lamp time by 30 seconds each layer and they lasted me 2 weeks before my first chip! (First picture). Very pleased, now i just did another mani! (Second pic) Hoping they last 2/3 weeks. I do wish the lamp had a back side as i find it pretty bright, but ive seen some other reviews mention they put cardboard and on the back, i’ll try that. FORGOT TO MENTION: the extra stuff it comes with is so handy! I love the nail files, i dont like the gems though, very cheap looking and not my style.

I’m really happy with this kit! I can’t believe the value and everything that comes with it for the price. I’ve had a lamp like this years ago that was much smaller, and so far I’m loving this one. So easy to use for both hands and feet. It’s true like others have said that the colors are different than in the picture (lighter mostly) but the colors are still beautiful. It’s so nice to be able to do my nails and have it be dry immediately, and it does last a few weeks for me. With gel nail polish I’ve always just let it go about 2-3 weeks and then it peels off easily without damaging my nails, but I know that doesn’t work for everyone. I did try the remover pad and that didn’t do anything to remove it. I just think peeling is easier anyway. I definitely recommend this; my nails look like they were professionally done. Just make sure to follow all the steps and wipe off excess on the sides before curing or it will peel off much too soon. Take a little time to carefully prepare your nails up front and it will be worth it!

I really like this set! There's so many extras like gems and metallic strip tapes and great tools to apply them and prep your nail. The polish colors are pretty- the pink is very pink but the light pink/clear has a tiny bit of glitter. There is also a full glitter polish. The base coat and top coat work well and set very well.I usually run 1min under the light for each layer and 2min for the last top coat and it's set. I'm really rough on my nails and this kit helps protect them so well. I wash my hands a lot and wear gloves at work and this helps them from being brittle.I did also get a set for removing the polish - with the finger clips, thin cotton sheets, and the gentle scraper. It's Impossible to get this off otherwise. If you peel it, you might ruin your nail itself. With the removal kit, I can do removing and a new application myself in an evening.Next to no dry time! That's the best part for me, so I'm ok having a time getting it off.I am not skilled at nail polish at all but I'm having fun and this kit makes it so easy.
