KIARA SKYGelly Tips Starter Kit Short Length, Almond Shape

Firstly I would like to say I purchased this on a whim and I have been satisfied thus far. You will need to purchase additional things in order to use this kit to its full potential though. You will need nail files (or an e-file), buffers, gel polish cuticle oil and I also recommend purchasing a larger UV/LED nail lamp. The kit does include a UV lamp but it is very small and only cures one finger at a time, which is fine for the gelly tip application (as you can only apply one at a time when following the directions anyway) but for painting your nails you will want a 4-5 finger lamp. This kit does NOT include any gel color polish so you will need to purchase some, but it does include a gel top coat that I think works great. I work in healthcare which requires me to constantly wash my hands and lift/maneuver heavy things so far I find that the nails seem to stay on. The set I have on now has been on for 4 days and they still feel secure. There is a learning curve with the application process (using the right amount of builder gel, selecting tips that fit appropriately, nail shaping, etc) but if you mess up you can soak the tips off in no time with acetone or simply pop them off with a bit of force and reapply new ones. Overall I believe I will continue to use this kit and perhaps cut out my nail salon trips all together.

The media could not be loaded. If u use the kit correctly and read instructions carefully u shouldn’t run into really any issues. If this is your very 1st time doing nail obviously it won’t be perfect but the more u do ur nails the better u will be. While I think this kit is absolutely great I will say it is more on the expensive side. U can buy gel extension full cover tips, prep and primer, builder in a bottle, top coat, and a decent UV/LED lamp altogether for like $60-$70. These tips are real gel they soak off just fine I love the shape and sizes are nice. My only issue is that there are 2 size 0s but not an actual size 00. So I don’t have a nail that fits my thumb perfectly. But like I said the kit is a solid 4.5 stars. It’s just that to me it’s a little over priced and I will always have to make alterations for my thumb.

Purchased this because I wanted to save money and time from going to the salon since my salon is kinda hard to schedule an appointment and can get quite pricey. This kit was super easy to use and although I felt like the short was still longer than expected, it can easily be trimmed and filed down to the size you desire. It looked great and was extremely easy to use. The only reason I docked a star is because I noticed my nails will start to pop off after a week even though I've prepped and filed down so I'm not sure if its the black light that isn't strong enough to cure? The second time I spent extra time curing but still managed to pop off after 10 days but I do love that I can have salon nails anytime.

I love the kit. Its a great starter kit, but after you start running out of supplies you can just come up here and order something else. To be honest to get everything in the kit will add up to the same price or even more. So just buy the kit. I also use the gel polish for my toes when I do my gel pedicures. So it can be multipurpose. My nails last for a few weeks which is good because I never did this before. The tips are so natural and don't have those harsh edges that you can get from Kiss press on nails.

Wouldn’t even give this one star if I had the option. I watched multiple videos of how to use this product, I followed the direction booklet precisely, even contacted the company directly for advice, and yet in 48 hours I have had to do three sets. Because they keep peeling off. These might be great for some people, they do look good. But they certainly won’t last. After trying them out, I found out that they won’t let you return them even within 30 day timeline. So now I’m stuck with a useless product, and I’m out 100 bucks. Definitely not worth wasting money on.

this kit has saved me so much $. SO much

This is an update from my initial review.I have done a few sets since I purchased this kit. I have not had but two successful attempts with this product. Which means the nails dtayed on for at least a week, which isnt that successful. The other set was because of normal wear. For the money that this kit costs, I should have better results. I follow the instructions, but I am not happy at all at this point. So I have to revise this review...This kit is not worth the money. I just did a set two days ago and i lost seven of the nails in on day. I redid my nails last night and as of me writing this four nails have come off. SmhThis is the best kit I have purchased so far, but why does it have to cost sooo much? I started doing my won nails by trial and error and a lot of error! I have tried so many different nail kits and nails products. I just want ten nails that look the same and are pretty. I have been holding off buying the kit solely because of price. I was looking for a short round or oval nail, not coffin, ballerina or any of those types. I do not want long nails. So, I finally did purchase the kit and the nails are not as short as I thought they would be, but the kit is awesome! I have had these nails on for about two weeks. I just took one off. They started lifting a little which is something all of the kits and nails I have purchases have done a lot sooner than this kit.

I was very hesitant on buying this product due to my lack of experience but once I applied the first nail, everything else was smooth sailing. Love the tiny UV light that came with it-very easy to use. I got a couple of nails crooked but that was my fault. Only downside is that i wish these tips (almond short) were a little shorter and not as pointy but I filed them down a bit and it was to my liking. I also had to file some on the sides since they were too big but the smaller size was too small.
