It’s taken me a few times doing it to be confident (so don’t expect perfect results first time!) but now I’m able to do a decent job of using these products and I now get compliments for the outcome which is very satisfying! My nails are longer, stronger and healthier than ever which is amazing. It is much harder/more time consuming to take off than I was expecting so don’t try to do it when you’re in a hurry. Also the colours aren’t named so I’ve started putting a blob of each on the lid so I know which one is which (they can be hard to tell apart in the pot)
