Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just got my package today and could not wait to put on a fresh set. I've always wanted to try Apres or Kiara Sky but I do NOT want to spend $100+ for a system I'm not sure is right for me. I've been looking for dupes for a while and this is the first I've seen. I prepped my nails by filing them, cleaning them off with acetone, and then used my Modelones dehydrator and primer (also bought on Amazon) to ensure adhesion and longevity. The glue/gel is pretty thick, almost as thick as a builder gel, but very easy to use. I did not use a file to rough up the inner surface of the nail tips, I'm hoping that doesn't reduce longevity. I just applied gel to the tip, and gently laid it on each nail. If you need to learn how, just watch Apres or Kiara Sky tutorials on YouTube for gelly tips. The tips in this kit feel nice and strong. The curve is modern and looks like a salon shape. They're much better than others I've bought on Amazon. I'll be staying with Beetle brand tips going forward. The light that comes with this kit is fantastic, and exactly what you need for this kind of application. The glue gel adheres fast, with no heat spikes at all! My nails feel secure. Afterwards, I cut my tips down, filed the edges, and roughed up the surface of each nail. Then I painted them with my gel color base, color, and top coat. My nails are thinner than when I do polygel, and as strong as when I do dip, but my time was cut in half of not more, and it's significantly less mess. I will update my review after I wear and remove this set. I am notoriously hard on my nails. If they last two weeks, I'll be very impressed.
