This is a great alternative for those who are just looking for a little bit of girly jazz to accentuate your hands and feel classy. Nail salon prices are getting higher and higher, so if you have time and patience, anyone can do it. I used to do press on nails years ago using the Kiss brand, but then started going to the nail salon. I haven't used press-ons in years, but resorted back to them recently, because I missed getting my nails done. Though, I just didn't want to pay the nail salon price . This is actually a good product and if you take your time and follow the directions precisely, your nails will come out exactly like they're supposed to. And for the price of this kit, I've already used it four times and still have enough left over for maybe another three or four sets. The only drawback is them being plastic. They don't last long. I give them about a week's time or a week and a half. Though, it may depend on what you do day to day that will have an impact on the wear. I clean a lot and type everyday, so for me that plays a part on the wear. I really love the glue remover because when it's time to take them off, or when I mess up a nail and need to redo it, that nail glue is wonderful. I was even surprised by the curing light. It actually works, especially with it being so small. For $35, I think it's worth the money.
