I was fed up with having gels nails that damaged my nails and finding time to attend the salon to have them put on and taken off. A friend told me about these and I thought I’d give them a go. I wasn’t expecting a lot if I’m honest but WOW! I’m impressed. Fairly simply to apply and my first set lasted about 9 days, in fact I only replaced them because I was going out and wanted a fresh set on. They are lovely and shiny and my own nails are growing up underneath. Glaize, you have converted me, already have ordered more.
