So I've tried multiple brands of gel polish, builder gel and even a higher end competitor to Sassy Saints with no luck, nothing lasting, lifting, nail damage and so on. I finally tried SS and my gosh I wish I'd tried it years ago!!!! Immediately my nails have grown out (they were so thin they were torn down below the nail bed line!) and THEY LAST!!!!! I've just done a week abroad, loads of pool time, loads of suncream application to me and my son repeatedly every day, and I had to make 2 very small repairs, that's it, and then they lasted another week after home, it's blowing my mind!! When removed, my nails underneath are not like tissue paper and therefore horribly uncomfortable, they're as solid as they are when not damaged and haven't had anything on them for a long time!!! I'm honestly thrilled. Oh and the thing about doing those little repairs on holiday, I packed myself a mini kit with just the colours I'd got on, liquids and a file, and literally sat and did it poolside, because you don't need the lamp etc, and the 35° heat didn't appear to affect the products at all!!!! What an absolute breath of fresh air! I'm now planning all the colours I want eventually, and have given away all my other products as they're obsolete to me!!
