I bought the pro kit and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I love this stuff! I did have to do a trial run, but once you do it, it is super easy! Some things I figured out; the thicker you paint on the base coat, the thicker the layer of dip will be, you want to do thin even coats. But as I said, once I figured all that out, it looks amazing! I am definitely a fan and I have already ordered more dip colors and bottles of the base coat, activator, and top coat! Definitely a huge time saver ...
