I spent a small fortune on the Sassysaint powder dips but stopped using them because whatever removal method i tried, when they chipped off with normal life, they caused so much damage to the nail surface it took months to grow it out. I tried the press on gels because the advertising claimed no damage. Unfortunately I couldn’t stop the damage to the top of the nail, so it will take less time to grow out but does still damage them. They were very easy to apply, looked great, and lasted 3 weeks (one less so but I tried 3-4). They protected my nail growth so was going to cut them shorter after I removed the last lot, but the damage and resulting breakage has them down to the quick.
