This is my first at-home nail kit, so I don’t have anything to compare to. But from this Sassy Saints kit, I’m officially OBSESSED. My natural nails have NEVER been this long. This kit has helped my nails be hands down the most durable they have EVER been. They could easily last 3 weeks, but I get antsy at 2 weeks and want to change the colour. Granted, I’ve been struggling with how long it takes me to do them. This is likely my perfectionism showing, but some days it takes multiple hours (likely because I file them down basically to the nail so it’s like a fresh set most times). My hope is that I can shave it down to an hour, tops. I have dealt with a crack here and there, and decent sized chip (from me filing too thin at a corner), but these were simple to fix. It’s definitely been a learning process for me, but one that I am totally invested in! The reason for 4/5 stars and not 5/5 stars is that I learned a lot of what I SHOULD have been informed of AFTER receiving my kit. Maybe this is my error again, but I didn’t know until after that they recommend getting their clear dip powder to use first before your colour, so that you can easily see your natural nail when doing fills to make sure it’s still healthy etc. I also learned that they have a vitamin base that they recommend, but I didn’t know they even had that. I also wish they had printed instructions and not just on their website. I do think the online instructions are necessary as you’re first learning to get the video visuals, but I’ve made myself a written checklist just so I don’t miss any minor steps (like using the cuticle tool to push down the sides after each base step). As well, the only “issue” I’ve run into is the Top It bottle being stuck shut when I got the kit, and once after using. They do have troubleshooting tips to fix this, thankfully! Anyways, short story long - amazing kit, highly recommend, but read into it and watch all the videos! Picture with longest nail is NOT a Sassy Saints colour, I tested out using a nail polish after the Activate It step (I don’t recommend). Colours pictured are Muted Moss, Cream Chronicler, Cappuccino Chic, then a mix of Sandstone Siren, Cappuccino Chic, Radiant Rebel, Luminous Lady and Cocoa Cutie (first time set).

Great very easy

Quite time consuming but the results are worth the effort!
I would definitely recommend.

Very pleased with kit. Can now do a complete set in under an hour.

I would not recommend. It was a very time consuming and difficult process. As it chips away it leaves the nail underneath damaged and fragile, but it's not easy to remove preemptively.

Honestly thought the first couple times would be difficult but it was so easy. My first manicure looked amazing! I’ve now done it three times on myself and twice on my mom. I’d definitely recommend it. The only downside is that it does make my nails slightly brittle and thin but it’s not that bad.

It takes a while to get it right and the top coat gets sticky by the second hand. Not easy to remove either

The only irritation, which isn’t SassySaints fault is the delivery time because of customs delay issues since brexit.

Not easy, apenas at least 3 house to track the package myself just to find out it never arrived. I need my money back.

This kits has revolutionised my nail game. As a previous gel enthusiast who became allergic to the UV lamp, finding a lot with no curing needed, that's simple, therapeutic and really good value has been just awesome. My nails are stronger than ever and the pigmentation of the colours are so vibrant and beautiful. Will never stop being a Sassy Lady
