Amazing and Fun
I received the Cool Maker Go Glam U-nique Nail Salon for free to review from Family Rated Club. It was an amazing and fun thing to do with my daughter. It is a cute idea, it is good for playdates and Mom and Daughter time. My daughter had so much fun with this, it kept her busy for hours. She even did her brother and her Dad's nails. It is an awesome product for young girls.
TESTED BY THE WHOLE FAMILY
We were so excited to be selected to test this product out but it ended up in a huge disappointment. Right from the start, the packaging attracted us. The pink colour of the box and all things sparkly were on the cover along with a large circular dial that displays all the different stamp designs. The box pretty much told us its a full salon on the go and you would not need to purchase anything extra except for the batteries. It comes with the polish/top coat, the dryer, the stamps and even the toe separater. The instructions included pictures and were easy to follow. However, when we started, it was disappointment after disappointment. First, there's only 2 colours (pink and purple) and a top coat- ideally at least 4 colours would be great. After putting on our polish, we tried using the dryer. The fan from the dryer was so weak that I think blowing it dry by flapping my hands would have been a lot faster. Kids don't have much patience. You are supposed to be able to look through a lens that allows you to select the design that you want before applying. The lens was all scratched up and made the design look blurry. The biggest problem was the stamp. You're supposed to be able to insert your finger and just press down quickly and voila, you should have a pretty design on your nail (it's pretty much a sticker). I'm not sure if the tape that we had was old or it was dried out but no matter how many times we tried to apply the stamp, nothing would stick to our nails. We tried with a dried nail, semi-dried nail, fingers and toes and nothing worked. The best I could do was use my own nail polish and I managed to get a partial print. The finished product looked cheap and crappy. After numerous attempts, we just gave up. The product has so much potential and if some of the problems can be fixed, I would definitely purchase it if it ends up on the market. The instructions manual also shows that you can purchase a refill pack for additional colours and designs.
Great concept
My 10 year old absolutely loved working with the Go Glam Nail Salon! The product was very easy to use and definitely covered all the bases from a built-in nail dryer to magnifying lights, to storage compartment for the polishes. They even made the product adaptable so that you can use it on your toes as well! The only complaint that we have, is that even with the clear top coat, the polish washes off almost immediately in water. If there was a way to make the polish more durable it would definitely be a five-star product. We are looking forward to experimenting more with it and trying to find a way to make the polish stay on a bit longer.
Fun, but tricky
I tried Go Glam U-Nique Nail Salon with my 10 year old niece. She loves painting her nails, so she was really excited to try this. It definitely takes some trial and error to get it right. You have to learn exactly how long to dry your nails before stamping, how firmly to press down, when to release and exactly where to put your finger. I would definitely say that the minimum age of 8 listed on the box is appropriate. I can imagine anyone younger getting bored or frustrating by how long it takes and all the steps.
Easy Kids DIY mani
This Go Glam Nail Salon included a portable stamper, 5 Design pods, two nail polish and one top coat. The Nail station conveniently equipped with a Dryer and light (battery not included though), which makes it so much easier to dry the polish and then do the stamping design. My daughter (13yr) can do the whole mani perfectly without my help. Overall, she love playing with this Nail Salon and would likely share with other friends in her next playdate.
Love it
Quality is excellent, design are so good. My daughter cant stop opening it as its recieved. There are 2 nail paints and one top coat. Batteries are not included
