I really loved how easy this process was, and I love that I will save money in the long run even more. Usually, my nails smudge when I paint with regular polish, but these don't do that! And, I work with my hands a lot, so regular polish and even gel didn't last long, but the Nailboo Dip really stays on. I'm still getting used to doing them myself, but practice will make (almost) perfect! I'm so happy I spoiled myself with the starter kit. :)
