Good alternative for gel allergies
I don't have exactly this set because I have some other colors but I don't think it matters for the review. I think whether you will like this product depends on why you use it. I started looking for alternatives to gel nail polish because I'm allergic. This looks like gel but it contains completely different ingredients. Fortunately, I am indeed not allergic! If you compare this product with regular gel, I think you won't like it. After all, it is a bit less pleasant to use. The substance is a bit tougher, so I find nail art harder to do and gel smoothes itself out better. Applying a thin layer is also more difficult due to its toughness, even though you have to, otherwise you really need a very long drying time under the lamp. I really recommend doing very thin layers at a time for best results and after the 2nd coat, it seems to straighten out. The 5 colors I have are nice and cover in 2 coats and the very light ones in 3 coats. I have nothing to say about the basecoat. The topcoat is fine in itself, but if you make it too thick, it cracks and discolours slightly, making the color underneath look less bright. I did the thick layer to cover up my nail art bumps. In normal use, it's fine. So if you only color your nails in one color, you will be fine. I do have the idea that regular gel feels a bit firmer on the nails and looks thicker. This looks more like regular nail polish. With the right prep (buff, loosen cuticles and clean thoroughly with the remover), it lasts just as long as gel so I'm very happy with it because of my allergy. Another advantage is removal. `This is much faster than with regular gel (or with the dip powder that I used for this). In terms of convenience, it doesn't matter if you use their remover or just acetone. Both work great. Their remover is biobased and smells better. There are buttons for each type of coat on the lamp. Which makes it very easy in terms of timing (unless you've put too thick a layer of color on it).

Nail art tip: I'm now using posca markers with a thin tip for that. You can draw with precision. Do this before applying the topcoat.
