MEFA 19 Pcs Gel Nail Polish Package with U V Gentle, 12 Colours Fall Gel Nail Polish Set Burgundy Crimson Champagne Gold Glitter Gel Soak Off Purple Manicure Instruments Freshmen Salon Halloween Artwork DIY for Ladies

Great for an amateur like myself!
I’ve come to really like this brand of polish. As an amateur, I didn’t want to spend too much, but I wanted decent quality. I get that with these. Good consistency, no odors, and great, long lasting colors.

Great little kit
I got the nude colors that came with the light and didn’t have high expectations for 14.99. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised! The colors are pretty, but as others have said the bottles are small. That’s not a big deal since it was so inexpensive. I used chrome powder over the top when I cured these. Since the lamp is only 5 volts I had to cure each layer twice, but they turned out great! Nice for a beginner and anything that gets around the nail on you skin washes off.

Okay, I guess
First off, the color selection is pretty good. Lots of different colors and I appreciate the instructions on how to apply gel for those who may never have used gel previously. The top coats and base coat are wonderful in my opinion although the top coat seems to come off in layers after just a couple days. That may be the way I’m applying it though so I’m not deducting any stars even though it is annoying.My biggest problem with this set is that it the colors are ridiculously thick. If this was normal polish I would’ve sent it back for being old. The polish is so thick in such tiny bottles it’s super hard to get drops out for nail art or other uses. It also goes on blotchy and requires a number of strokes to thin out enough to cure fully. The black and white especially seem extra think and unmanageable. This is disappointing since these are the 2 colors I use most often to make designs pop and add contrast. None of the other colors seem to have this issue, just the black and white. Also, the white bottle didn’t seem full. It appears to only be half full.In addition, I find that for each layer, except the base and top coat, I need to use the full 99 second cure (sometimes twice) to cure the layer. I know gel is intended to go on thin, which I know I’m doing since I can still see my nail bed through the first layer of polish (except with the black and white) so it’s not too thick. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have acrylic nails? I don’t know.Also, as you can see, one of the bottles open and leaking.I’m disappointed. I had high hopes for this set and it’s not very good at all.

Love the colors
First off let me say, only one of the colors I’ve used so far. I used the lime polish from this set, then the blue from Vrenmol, and the pink from Modelones. The reason I did that is because I wanted to used the other polishes first before they get too old, I have had them since last year I think. Anyways, so with the polish from this set: It comes out thick, but is really thin when you spread it a little too thin for my liking, because I had to use three maybe even four layers for it to cover evenly. I did use the base and top coat from this set for all the nails, and my manicure held up really well. I had a very tiny bit of chipping on that index finger (Modelones polish) as you can see, but not terrible. I am harsh with my hands as well, so for this to hold up I’m really happy. I honestly could have worn this manicure longer, but my nails started growing plus I wanted to switch it up for my birthday. There’s other things that I do that I’m sure helped to keep my nails looking good too. I clean my cuticles, I prep my nails with dehydrator and primer, I try my best to make the layers thin, and I apply a fresh layer of top coat about every few days, in addition to using cuticle oil almost daily. I also try not to wet my hands or nails for at least a few hours after I do them, if I can help it. I’m sure the professionals already know all this, but this is for anybody else that is new to doing their own nails or just want to know how other people keep their polish on longer. I learned from others so I return the favor with my tips and tricks. I have ran into problems in the past with gel polish when I first started, like with the layers, and just experience with receiving bad gel polish. It gets better as time goes by, because you perfect your technique and you learn which brands are best to use. I haven’t had trouble with gel polishes that I can recall in a very long time, but if anything changes I’ll be sure to put it in my reviews. Overall, I really like this set. The colors are beautiful and there’s plenty of variety. Mefa is one of my favorite brands, as well as Rarjsm. I have Beetles, Modelones, HoneyPhan, Vrenmol, Makartt, and a couple other brands, but I have to use them more often to give an honest opinion. I have used Saviland and Anself for nail art, pretty good. My favorite top coats are Joya Mia, Gelish, Kupa Infinity, Elite99, and Ameili. Cuticle oil, the best I’ve used so far are Bliss Kiss and Beauty Secrets. I use just about any dehydrator and primer, because I feel like they all do the same thing. As long as the price is right or if I’m in urgent need of a replacement, I just grab whatever is available. Alright l, hope this helps someone. Happy manicuring! (-:

Small bottles but good for beginners/personal use

Me gustaron muchos los colores , menos elAmarillo que necesitan como 4 capas para que se vea . Duran bastante y están brillosos y bonitos . Muy bueno para las que vamos empezando y de uso personal porque losBotecitos están súper pequeños.
