This was on sale when a local store was getting rid of their stock and I really like the look of gradient nails. I bought the silver kit. The instructions were good but I did find it took a long time for the top to "layers" to dry. It did last for a week but having to wait for over 1/2 hour before being able to add a clear top coat is kind of a pain in the rear. I save this for nights that I am just vegging in front of the t.v.
