My first time trying to do this myself, the instructions were easy to follow but be careful! The light flash cures the nail glue extremely fast so be careful not to move it and that the nail is where you want it before placing it under the light. Still keep it there for the full time per the instructions but I found that it stuck very very fast. I ordered the short stilleto nails and still had to trim them down quite a bit as they were very long. Overall, they've been holding out well, over a week now and still no chips and don't seem to be coming off anytime soon. Would definitely recommend if you're trying to save money and are comfortable trying this on your own it's a great product

I bought these for my teen daughter because she’s always begging me to take her to the nail salon and this broke momma can’t afford those beautification fees. Overall, they make for a great set of extensions if you take your time and do it properly. The big must have for longevity is to drill your nails and use rubbing alcohol to wipe off all debris and nail oils prior to applying the adhesive.I noticed that I got air bubbles under the nails when applying the glue to the extensions but that was easily remedied by applying the glue directly to the (human) nail and then pressing the extensions over them. I also drilled any excess glue that came out over the sides or under the nail, as this creates uncomfortablility when the nails start to grow out and ensuring no glue is touching the skin. I wonder if that’s the problem some people had with the glue is that it was in contact with their skin for prolonged periods of time? Or if it was pulling off their skin as the natural nail was growing out? Luckily, my daughter didn’t have any adverse reactions to it, and her nails turned out great courtesy of her pushover mother with a type-a personality and some creative genius. We finished off the extensions with beetles gel polish, and I think they look phenomenal. She’s going on week 3 and they’re still holding on strong, which is a far cry from the last time she had hers done professionally (only lasted a week before they started chipping and breaking off). Overall, it was a good investment and gave us some good bonding time. I’m not a professional, and I took my time, so from start to finish was about 3 hours to do a full set but she was extremely happy with them.The one thing that would make this kit the bomb is if it had clippers where you could pre-adjust the length so they are all consistent. I’m not so great at eyeballing how much I cut off of each one so there was a little inconsistency in the lengths. Also, the uv light is pretty small and it’s difficult to hold someone else’s nail down under the light while it cures. I think I’m going to upgrade that piece to make it a little easier for next time.

This kit is great for creating beautiful nails at home—super easy to use, and the pre-shaped tips look amazing. However, the nails didn’t last as long as I hoped, even with careful application. Still, it’s a fun and affordable option for DIY nail art!

Cannot believe how well these work. This should’ve came out decades ago to save me thousands at the nail salon. Anyone can use these. It takes about 30 mins to do a whole set and you’re out the door. No more waiting in a salon or sitting there wondering if you will catch an infections from unclean tools or listening to people argue in other languages. These stay on for at least 2 weeks without popping off. They are really easy to remove if you make a mistake or just wanted to wear them for a special event. I’ve recommended them to many and you cannot beat this price.

It came with everything! Perfect starter kit for gel x!

Used this products 3 times and loved it. The product itself was strong and lasted longer than expected. When I've gotten gelx manicures in the past they lasted maybe 4 days, and this will last about a week, so it's way more cost effective with press ons. On the 4th use I loaded up a good bit of product and it touched my skin, which then caused chemical burns under my free edge. I've never had that happen with salon quality gel. So be extra careful when applying not to get it on your skin. I don't think I'll be using it again bc the soreness and itching on my fingertips isn't worth having long nails 😭 back to acrylics for me I guess.

Finally, after a lifetime of wanting longer nails but not having money or time to go to a professional, they have come up with gel extensions! I can totally do these myself and now that I have, I find they solve several problems I didn’t know I had… Once these are on, they are so much easier to paint neatly than my natural nails and the polish stays on until you take it off! My very oily natural nails would only hold polish for a day before chipping or just popping off all together. They are strong – With the longer nails I have to type by slamming the key straight down with the nail end and it has not been a problem at all. Unlike nail polish, the nails stay securely on my oily nail beds for weeks – I do some extra prep as my nailbeds are oily, but I have not had any pop offs and I am *rough* on my nails. They survive long periods of time under water, cleaning, yard work, etc.I do still struggle with applying them without an excess amount of glue around the edges. That is purely technique and I will undoubtedly get better with practice. In a meantime, a $6 electric nail drill does the trick to sand all that off/down. But other than that, these are super easy to do yourself. There are tons of videos on YouTube that walk you through all the steps and tricks. Take the time to fit the nails, sanding down the sides to fit your unique cuticle lines and nail widths – These aren’t made to just pop on out of the box. But it only takes a little time, not talent for them to look great!
