Mylee Complete Professional Gel Nail Polish LED Lamp Kit, 4x Colours, Top & Base Coat, PRO Salon Series Convex Curing® LED Lamp, Prep & Wipe, Gel Remover (Black Lamp)

After years of paying to have my nails done I stalked and researched home gel kits.I finally went for it and ordered this set-I can’t believe I didn’t sooner! You almost feel silly for paying £30 for nails at the salon.The kit is well packaged and contains all the essentials.It came with a few colours to try - sadly a little dark for me but found one I liked. Instructions are really clear and I whizzed through the process. There is a QR code that you can zap for more info inside the box.I used the lamp and cured each stage for at least 60 secs just to be sure. Top tip…don’t touch your nails part way through coats to check if they are cured..they feel sticky which is normal. At the end I used the cleaner liquid with little pads (included) and hey presto! I am SO impressed! It was so easy! Take care to do thin layers of colour and kind of stetch the varnish along nail for best effect.I will not return to a salon now as this is one of my purchases of the year! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed! Oh..and should add my nails last at least two weeks! Winner!

Trying to save money I thought I would give this a go! So pleased I did. Good selection of nail colours, very easy instructions. Easy to use and really pleased with the results x

This kit is great for these current times when you can’t get to a salon to have your nails done! I got the one without the cuticle pusher and buffers (I already have the cuticle pusher) so I bought some cheap buffer blocks separately.The kit is really easy to use as the instructions are very easy to follow. So far I have tried the darkest of the colours included (love!) and the lightest colour (wasn’t as much as a fan, but that’s because I have pale skin so light colours don’t really look great on me).The one tip I would happily share is to base coat your whole nail, then when it comes to adding the first layer of colour, leave a good gap between the edge of the polish and the skin. It may look weird, but go with it. With the next layer, paint a bit closer to the skin (to seal the first layer of colour), still leaving a small gap between the paint and the skin. Do the same with the top coat (painting over all the edges of the colour so you seal it all in, including ‘capping’ the top edges of the nail) importantly so the top coat doesn’t go onto the skin. If you cure the top coat overlapping onto the skin, you will probably get lifting of the colour when general use of your hands will cause the top coat on your skin to catch, which may cause the whole layer of paint to lift and peel. Learn from my experience!However that was error on my part, nothing to do with the kit itself.Another thing I will mention is that the MyGel base and top coats included in the kit work fine with other brands of gel colours, as I have used both Shellac and Blue Sky colours with no adverse results.

This is a great product. I have a 10 month old baby so gone are the days where I can take her with me to get my nails done, knowing that she’ll sleep through my appointment. Also, I can’t really justify spending £30-40 getting my nails done every time they need doing anymore. A few of my friends have their own gel nail kits and have raves about them, so I bought this when it was on offer for £53. It’s brilliant! As long as you don’t put the gel on too thickly, or touch your nails until they’re completely finished, they look great. I’ve done mine a few times now and they have probably lasted just longer than a week (but that’s with doing lots of house chores etc) but then you’re never going to get a full salon quality at home, but it doesn’t matter because you can just redo them when you want! A few of my friends have had babies recently and find it tricky to get out so I’ve done their nails too and it’s made them so happy! It’s so easy to use and as long as you follow the instructions, your nails will look great. I’ve already ordered a few more colours! I’d definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to save money and be able to do their nails as and when it’s convenient for them!

I live abroad and only have the chance to have a gel nail manicure when I'm back in the UK for a visit and can visit a salon. I ordered this kit to take abroad with me and I've used it 4 times so far, once for each of the supplied colours.This has everything you need in one box - I looked at piecing the bits together and it's not worth it. Just buy the kit.I was really lucky - I love all four of the colours that came with it. The very light baby pink one needs more coats than the others to make it a solid colour. I hadn't heard of this brand before buying so I was a bit wary that the polishes aren't a big name like gellish, CND, OPI etc. However, I've found them to be excellent quality and the brushes are really easy to work with.Having had gel nails done a lot in salons I already knew the technique and the dos and don'ts but the instructions in this kit are really clear. When using this kit I could get in excess of 10 days without chipping or peeling if it weren't for the fact that my nails grow so fast and I have to redo them for that reason.Some tips: always make sure the nail is completely free from any cuticle or skin bits, buff nails before painting, don't get any paint over skin or cuticles (if you do then remove it before curing the paint - you can use acetone to remove paint if necessary but it should just wipe off), don't use any oils or lotions before painting, better to have more thin layers than fewer thicker layers - build colour up gradually, cap the nail tip (i.e. paint the end of the tip and sides) on every layer, especially base and top coats. Finally, try not to move the colour around on the nail too much - brush it on evenly in as few strokes as possible and don't keep brushing over it.Considering I've had many bad salon gel manicures that have chipped and peeled after only a day or two, this kit is really good and I'd highly recommend it.
