I'm wondering if this would work for giving myself manicures? I want to be able to see cuticles clearly, where I have painted polish, etc.

It would work we'll but the lens is plastic so don 't get any chemicals on it.

Pedicures is what I bought this for. It works great. It was a little tricky at first to get it positioned correctly for a clear view but once I figured it out it is a big help. I've had it for several months now and would buy again for this purpose.

It really depends on how much magnification you need. If you needed to use the small spot of super-magnification for the whole manicure, I think that would get pretty tiresome. If you only need the magnification level on the large lens, I think it would be great.

It's a perfect size for that, and there's also a little bubble embedded in the glass for a really close up view.

As others have said, do the prep as directed. DO NOT paint to cuticle. Leave a tiny space unpainted. Takes some practice. I'm on my 4th self-manicure and it's much, much better this time. As a fix, where I hit the skin/cuticle and it starts to bubble up... I used cuticle clippers to remove loose edge, then file smooth with a cuticle file. Until I am very competent, I'm using the OPI pink (almost tranparents) starter set so it's not noticeable that I'm not perfect.

What did you end up getting? I was looking at this tool kit for nail polish and accessories as well. If you got this, how is it working for you? Thanks for your response.

Hi! It works for me but everyone's nail is different. My mom has the same problem you do and this product did not help her. You can try it maybe it will work for you. I hope I was of some help for you.

unless the brochure specifies, I doubt I would use it for that purpose. I am sure they have one that can be purchased for use with polish.

I think so. With my nails the polish stays for a couple weeks, before it grows out. It was a little easy to peel some of it.but only from the base.

You can use them a few different ways: as a guide for designs to paint over, to add some color to your original design, or to cover your cuticles when painting your nails. Go watch some videos on YouTube with nail tape! Hope this helps! :)

I usually use the fine longer thin brushes in the pack. But sometimes it can take practice to draw perfect straight lines, letters and numbers. So good luck on your designed manicure!!

I did use it on my daughter's cuticles as well. It's just like clear nail polish with a horrible, bitter taste.

Yes it works great for pedicure polish. I did a French manicure polish it last for three weeks. Very happy with this product!!! :-)

I use it with an OPI pale colour, and it works pretty well. I work with my hands, and am therefore very hard on my nails.

I was taught to use LED for OPI and UV for brands like CND. I was taught by a friend who used to have her nails done by a manicurist and now she does them herself. My opinion here is only what I was taught personally.

Depends on your skin tone. But vinylux actually offers a french manicure kit that you can probably find on amazon, too.

If your nails are over an inch and a half long then they will not be be completely under the light. otherwise it works great for gel polish.

This is a thick, self leveling gel that can be used to build a nail tip or a hard nail like shell over a thin or split natural nail. It is not a polish or top coat. It is totally clear and requires a polish in some color to match your nails. So, it can be used with any of your nail colors, but will completely seal, cover and prevent your natural nail from getting any benefits offered by a strengthener or conditioner.
