Was missing somethings I'd consider necessary for doing the nails in a complete way. You will still need to buy acetone (not acetone nail polish remover) %26 you will need more nail filers, some nail clippers, and a couple small glass containers to put the slip solution %26 acetone in. The UV lamp is small %26 takes way more time to cure than the instructions say. It may be worth it to also invest in a bigger UV lamp as well as a hand drill for filing. There's not a ton of slip solution, base polish %26 top coat to utilize all the different types of poly gels available so you will need to buy more if you plan on using this often. The colors are also more transparent than opaque on the nail so all nails look like they're French tip style with whatever color you choose as the tip color. After a full 24 hours of trial and error, breakage, technique perfecting, practicing with my non dominant hand, %26 finally asking for help from my daughter, I had my first full set %26 it lasted a day… if that. Can be a nice alternative for an event but press ons just seem easier than these. I gave it 2 stars because it will be more stuff I have to store but it was fun to learn how to do poly gel on my own %26 it's convenient for the next time I'm bored %26 want to do some self care.
