I used to have my nails done in a salon. At first it was gel nail with lamp. Then changed to dip powder but that became pricey, so I bought the gel and lamp and did them at home. But, my nails where sooo fragile and chipped or broke all the time. I saw a Sassy Saints review online, so decided to try the dip powders at home! I really love SS, the only downside are the liquids. I have not yet tried the new ones. Hopefully the top coat will be better as I struggle with the brush hardening, and I find that the shine does not last..Kindly, Dominique
