Lavender Violets 42 Pcs Gel Nail Polish Set, 36 Colors with 6 Bottles of Base Top Coat, Glossy Matte Diamond Shine Glow in the Dark Top Coat for Nail Art C950

Loved this set colors are vibrant and it has lasted even longer than it would of went to the nail shop. I received everything to achieve a gel manicure. The only issue I had was that the coats went on very thin so it did require 3 coats of polish

I LOVE that they give different top coats! So I can make ALL the colors matte (which I don't like the matte look, but the people I do nails for, do!) And the glow in the dark and the 'diamond' top coat- which basically makes any color sparkly! Which is fantastic, as ANY of the colors now can be something else, whether matte, sparkle, glow in dark or regular clear coat which= glossy finish (which I love) the bottles are smaller then say 'normal' but I like that too- because if they are too big, they'll probably get gross before I coukd use all those colors....and if I use one color up fast, I'll just repurchase or something. I can't speak on the longevity, as I just got them (super fast with prime of course!) Which I needed in a pinch for something....so ill update if they turn out to be bad in that department. If I don't update, then just know they lasted and I still love them. I'm really debating buying the other color sets!!! I love the consistency of the polish, and the vibrancy of all the colors!!! Love this! I'm sure you will too, as there is a color set for everyone!!!

Attached are photos of swatches i made. The set comes with mostly jelly or milky colors, but the ones that are meant to be opaque are darn solid with only one coat, even the black! They cure well in thin coats. The magnet for the cat eye polishes is very strong, and on a wand for ease of use. Glitters are glittery, shimmers are shimmery, nothing to complain about so far.

I am new to gel polish and debated on which set to start with. I decided on this one, figuring I would give it a shot. The packaging and shipping speed was usual, 2-3 days, so no complaints there. There are so many colors to chose from, but I was surprises that there is no opaque white, or any white at all. Nevertheless, there is a nice variety of colors and glitters. It comes with 2 bottles of base coat, and then 1 of each of the described top coats. I was surprised at how small the bottles of colors are. I read everything, but I guess I didn't expect it to be as small as they are. The polishes are very thick, but definitely manageable and usable. The top coats, while pretty and different, the glow in the dark one has given me nothing but trouble. I haven't been able to get it to come to a nice smooth and even finish. I did a swatch of every color, and alternated top coats just to try them out. The matte top coat is pretty cool because it looks matte but feels glossy, which works for me, as I don't really like the way it feels normally. Every picture shown, was with 1 coat on each nail, because again, the bottles are very small and I don't want to waste it just doing swatches or samples. I gave 4 stars due to the size of the bottles and because I am an amputee and the brush on the polishes is so small it is really difficult for me to hold onto. Just something I wish these companies would consider. I may not have all of my fingers, but I do like to learn to do regular things as much as I can. Also, the weight of each bottle is deceiving because it feels heavy, but they really don't have a lot of polish in them. If you're on the fence and have the $40.00 to spend, I would just try it out. If you're like me and like the sparkles, especially, because some of these are really pretty and with the different top coats you can make them look different.

love how many colors there are, especially the glitter and cat eye ones! I also love that it comes with a primer and a matte top coat. it is a bit annoying that the color is not shown on the top, and the colors on the bottle are not exactly the same as the actual color, so when I'm looking for a specific one in the organizer it comes in, I have to go through them one by one and usually open them to get a better idea of what the real color looks like. but they cure well and pretty quickly, and it's nice that they're skinny bottles

Pretty much as described and really good for a beginner to doing their own gel nails.

I finally had the time to try out this kit and I think it's a decent set for people new to gels. I bought the Lavender Violets set because I like purple, but the number of different colors exceeds the number of purples, so please be aware of that if you choose to buy this particular collection. Formula-wise, the consistency varies from bottle to bottle. If it's glitter, it's really goopy. If it's got microglitters, it's medium-goopy. If it's a solid color, it's a mild-goop. So, when it comes to their formula, I had to adjust my application technique depending on which color I used. The best formula was their top coat - it was wonderfully smooth and leveled itself quite well and it didn't require an acetone wipe-off. Colors - I was really hoping for different shades of lavender, but I've found that to be lacking. Instead, some of their best colors weren't even purple. My favorite shades turned out to their reds and pinks. #3230 is a gorgeous deep caramel red jelly with glitters which is perfect for daily wear or holidays. #3229 is a microglitter wine-colored shade that is also great for daily wear. #3214 is a pastel pink that I think would make a wonderful base color and #3217 is a beautiful mauve pink with microglitters that seems like it would suit most skintones. The worst offending colors will have to go to #3224 & #3225 because they were literally the color of nacho cheese. Some honorable mentions are their deep green jellies - one has microglitter and the other doesn't - I think they'd look great for Fall and Winter holidays; then there is a deep cerulean blue with glitters and a cornflower blue that I think are just beautiful colors to have in any nail collection. Lamp - I found this lamp easy to use, but found myself needing to use it twice with the gold glitter and then with the top coat. I found this lamp wasn't fully curing the top coat during the first 100 seconds. And no, I did not apply thick layers of gel...they were all thin coats. For the bad - I had to use a heavy-duty plier to pry open the bottles. They're tiny and not easy to open. Formula is inconsistent. The glitter ones don't offer the best coverage. The brush is angular and wider than I'm used to. It's not hema-free, but then again, most gels aren't. If you're wondering whether this is worth the purchase, I think it is, especially if you're just trying to get your toes wet. Directions are simple to follow/understand. The set comes with it's own lamp and some extras like nail stickers, tweezers, gems, and etc. The positives definitely outweigh the bad. If you're used to applying regular nail polish like Essie, these gels would be relatively easy to get used to because consistency is just slightly thicker.

Excellent shade of colors and very good duration
