Is this a good kit? Would this ruin my nails or would it keep them shiny and pretty?

It good for grooming them to a proper length and shape. Not really "shiney" you would want to look into getting a buffer for that. But I have found the kit to be a good reliable kit. It wouldn't ruin your nails unless you tried to use the tools incorrectly.

This 10 pc product provides excellent quality tools for both manicure and pedicure applications. The included case has a slightly cushioned texture with a good strong latch. You get good quality for a low price based on my comparative research at the time.

It's not a very good kit. The nail clippers aren't very sharp...the box doesn't close very well...etc. Overall it's an ok kit, but if I had to buy it again, I wouldn't.

This is OK as a kit The box I have is marked "BAOL professiional" I don't recognise the Alice name

I use the pure acetone and put it on a cotton ball then wrap the tip of my finger with tin foil and let it do its thing for about 15-20 minutes then use an orange stick to scrap off the polish it should crackle up when you take the foil off, make sure that you take a buffing block to rough up the top surface of the polish so that the acetone will work. DONT use an emery board type file you may get carried away with filing and damage your nail bed. The buffing blocks sold at Sally supply or any drug store works great just rough enough to take of the top coat off. DONT get anything to abrasive or like I said you may damage your nail bed and believe me that is quite painful! I am assuming this is your first go at the gel polishes? Did you have them done or are you thinking about doing them yourself either way I'm sure you know the steps to applying the polish and really taking the polish off is no big deal just a little time consuming because you can only work on one hand at a time. I hope I helped answer your question if you have any more I would be happy to help.

Yes! This starter kit is perfect. ... the clippers work great and made well. The cuticle oil is good and smells good too. The bristles on the brush is ok its not too hard of a brush...I believe its good enough touch to clean off nail, not too hard not too soft.Also never seen any bristles fall out. I guess the other buyers must be scrubbing extremely hard. I hope this help! They only thing I had to purchase was the drill but not really necessary

Make sure and use Bostitch brand nails with it, and it works great. Adjustable nail depth is very consistent.

it sounds like you haven't done the last step - use a lint free cloth and apply the nail cleanse solution that comes with the kit. Your nails will not be sticky at all in an instant. Just follow the instructions that come with the kit.

Hello,I've just started using this on myself not too long ago so as to whether or not it'll make my nails stronger, I don't know. HOWEVER, you do not need a lamp. I'm guessing Mrs. Cruz might have had a bad bottle or something, and I'm sorry for her, but I use this all the time and I just polish it on my nails like usual and it's usually dry (both coats!) in ~20 mins.Instructions on the back are, "Shake gently. Apply 2 coats to bare nails. Use alone or as a base coat. For maximum strength, apply every third day."I recommend shaking it a good period of time before applying to nails or rolling the bottle as it does leave bubbles on your nails :) Hello,I've just started using this on myself not too long ago so as to whether or not it'll make my nails stronger, I don't know.

If it is applied as directed, it should not be spotty or streaky. I have this color and use only 1-2 coats on top of bare nails (NO base coat), and then use 2 coats of the Vinylux top coat. It lasts for a week. It's the growth at the cuticles not chipping that causes me to redo my manicure.

Yes. My nails look great after a week or so of using it. I even like it better than OPI nail envy. If you have any concerns regarding formaldehyde , check out FDA.gov . I hope this helps you.

I've used it on my natural nails and I have no problems. It stays in place and looks pretty.

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

I would suggest just getting one because it comes with 12 nail polishes. So its more than enough :). And ya it does really work! You just have to put your nails in the light. Then it glows really bright. :)

It did not discolor my toenails while using OPI and Cover Girl nail polish, two of the most common brands, so I think you are safe.

In my experience the gel nail polish is the best. Before I was using acrylic nails and regular nail polish as well. What a mistake! I'm using the gel nail polish for a year and my nails are growing and they are stronger. On the other hand if you want to extend the time ( three weeks or more) add an other layer. I'm doing it and it works perfect for me.

Super shiny & it lasts all week. I only polish my nails once a week. Your nails will have that "wet look". I think you'll like it plus it helps dry nails faster.

Hi Linda:) If what you're looking for is to simply file your nails, this will do just fine. It comes with several different files so you can switch and choose. The set doesn't come with acrylic nails or anything like that,just so you know. It's not that expensive so maybe if you're willing to spend more money you can get a file that's a bit more fancy. I liked this one, though, easy to use:)

Well, I have terrible nails to start with. I has been using the gel polish and it works good but it takes so long to do them and even longer to take it off. So I ordered the CND Vinylux base, color and top coat to try. It does stay on much longer than anything I have tried before. On my better nails it probably lasted close to a week before it started to chip any. If you have good nails it will probably work good for us. Hope this helps.
