MEFA Gel Nail Polish Set 23 Pcs with Nice Box, Soak Off Nail Polish Gel Varnish with Base Coat and No Wipe Glossy Top Coat Matte Top Coat for Nail Art Salon Design Manicure Starter Set

There is a long process for using this product and making it last. It can take about a hour to do your nails.However this stuff last! It doesn’t chip. Usually in 6 hours drugstore fingernail polish chips off of me and I can get over a week in this. Really I remove it because my nails grow out but it doesn’t chip. I have a bunch of kids and so I do a lot with my hands!Tips: file, buffer, and push back cuticles. Use base coat and top coat. Apply 2-3 color coats. Make sure it’s all the way to the edges of the nail bed. Use alcohol wipes after each coat dries to remove extra oils. Use a led nail dryer.I have better luck with this product then salon stuff! It looks very professional.The photo is 9 days later. That’s after taking care of 6 kids, a wedding, canoeing, golfing, going to the gym, cleaning out my garage, using house cleaner, doing hair and nails..... I remove this product because my nails grow out not because it chips! It’s worth every dollar and the time!

The color combinations are pretty and fun! I like that these are smaller "sample" size bottles so that you can try out a bunch of colors. One downside: I found that this gel polish would start to chip and peel a lot sooner than other polishes. I thought maybe it was my technique or that I wasn't using the lamp long enough -- but after fiddling with all of that, I still couldn't make the polish last more than a week. I would still recommend trying this though -- fun colors and easy to put on and take off!

There are some real nice colors in this kit and it is packaged well. I do feel like the top coat gives up really easily with normal use. After a few hours, like 2 shifts at work the free edge of my nails are all scuffed and dull. its a real easy fix buff and re-polish and top coat. The problem is it should last longer than that. If you re-polish every other day to keep your shine, you will find yourself out of color and top before you change colors, typically 2 weeks. I thought there would be more applications even though I was aware the bottles were tiny. Would I buy again, no the purpose for choosing a kit for me has been filled, I wanted to see if I would enjoy using gel colors. I did and I will now buy full size colors in shades I know and love. Would I recommend this kit to a friend? Actually, Yes! It has nice colors... all polishes of this type have a certain amount of odor and this ones scent is tolerable so thats nice. Theres enough of each color to choose a mani and wear test it for a full 2 to 3 weeks. After one mani I think you will be pleased enough to use the rest after purchasing a nice full size top coat. The Matte is very nice as well. Thin enough to co on smooth and level thick enough to fully matte your shade, its kind of awesome actually. If youre wanting to see if gel polish might be for you as well I think this kit will help you choose Yes!

Got this, so i could do my nails at home by myself instead of having to pay salon price every 2 weeks. Will definitely be ordering again. Great product, none of the polishes were spilt or damaged. The colors are vibrant, shiny, easy to apply and long lasting. The bottles are a bit small; adding picture for reference. I don’t mind the small bottles since you do get a good variety for a great price. The purple on my nails is one of my favorites.

i wouldn't have ordered had i realized that these are the worlds tiniest bottles of gel polish. i wouldn't have minded had they not made the add look as if they where as small as they are...other then that the colors are beautiful and they ware well... but the add definitely needs a fix

I just received this set today. I absolutely love it so far, already did my nails and the coverage is really nice. I've been doing my own gel for a while now but can honestly say the application and color coverage is much better then other brands I own. The polish is thicker which makes application user/beginner friendly. Very happy so far and will update on longevity.Update: I love the colors and how they look when they are freshly done. But as a mom who is using my hands all day with young ones I feel like some always chips off and I am redoing a nail here or there throughout the week. I have never has this happen with gel polish. Will update again if I figure out a trick because I really like the colors in this set.

I am a licensed cosmetologist and I wanted to get into doing manicures as an add on service. I saw the value of these products and thought it would be a great way to reintroduce myself into doing gel nails, gel polish anything that goes with it. So far I am very impressed with the quality of this product, the ease of using it, and the selection of various colors. I will be sure to post more as I grow my nail Clientele.

This kit has a beautiful range of colors. I do wish that the bottles were bigger they’re so tiny I’d consider them to be like sample bottles or nail polish for kids size, each bottle will probably only last one full set since you have to do at least two coats. That being said the colors are beautiful and it goes on so smooth. Some reviews are saying that their polishes might have come “used” previously but I don’t think that’s the case some nail polishes might have some spillage on the threads but that I believe just has to do with shipping and the pressure/change of elevation during transport. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I’d rather spend the extra money to get full size bottles because I’m going to be very disappointed when I do a full set and run out of the color.
