Great colors, easy application, love the look of the kit. But... by me they hardly last two weeks without chipping. Done my nails for the third time now and hope they will last longer. The biggest drawback is the removal process. The rice method is absolutely horrifying and very time consuming. Just acetone foil wraps don't work. Almost ended up going to the salon to get it removed but decided to soak the nails (and consequently, the fingers) in acetone for over half an hour for each hand and then still spent a long time trying to scape off the remains. Not sure it is less harmful than doing gel nails, not sure...
