I started using this gel nail kit in 2020, and I haven't looked back. Once I got good at it, it's way better and way more affordable than going to a nail salon. Everything you need is provided in this package. My nails last me 4-5 weeks easily.

This is my secret for keeping my makeup in place for long Disney days or just any long days. Just a couple sprays and my makeup stays in place. It's not sticky or bad smelling. This little bottle lasts me a long time and it's worth the price.
