I do my own nails at home. Loved the variety of colors. They are the same as my other brand gel polish. Sheerness- Takes several coats just like other brands. (Apply thinner coats for better application and curing) Lasted me 2 weeks just like other brands. I read a ton of reviews before purchasing. If there are issues it's in the application. We are in the middle of a remodel so hands were used with that. I would highly recommend as long as you know how to do gel nail polish. Make sure you prep your nails appropriately, apply a base coat, apply your color, cure between coats. Apply top coat. Thinner coats are better. Make sure you put on edges of nails as well. I took my time and applied correctly and it lasted as long as if I had my nails professionally done at a salon. Actually had a nail tech I ran into in Sally's tell me she loved my nails.. when I told her I did them myself she was amazed said they look like I went to salon. People who complained about the sizes of the bottles are ridiculous. They are the same size as my others that I've spent $10-$15 per bottle for. (They are smaller than regular nail lacquer if that's what they meant) it tells you the exact size of bottle in description. If you look at picture you can see size on the bottle. This is a heck of a deal!! The bad comments about color dot on the front of the bottle not matching...well that is true-ish. If you've done gel polish before it is not exactly the same shade of color on the outside bottle anyway. I look at those types of complaints just like people complaining because their ice-cream is too cold. So take majority of those complaints with a grain of salt. If you truly know how to do gel polish you will love this product as much as I do! I would definitely purchase again especially other packs of colors. You would remove the same as other gel polish brands. Scratch top coat with finger nail file, use cotton ball with pure acetone and wrap in tinfoil or I use press and seal wrap. Usually takes 15-20 minutes. I do while I'm watching TV. This process is same as other brands and if you had done in salon. Use orange stick and slides off. May take little longer on some nails than others depending on how many coats/how thick you applied. Any brand of gel polish takes a bit to apply and take off. Gel polish is a detailed process. It's not like slapping on a coat or two of nail lacquer and going about your day. I love quality, quantity for the money and the fact I can do myself at home. They hold up better than regular nail lacquer that barely lasted me a day before it would chip all off or peel off. You will be very happy with this product if you know what you are doing and apply correctly. I'm sorry, I forgot to take pictures.
