I have been getting shellac manicures for years and decided to try to do it at home. This kit is easy to use and gets the job done. The nail polishes, however, are not all of the same quality. Some polishes will last a good two weeks while others chip the following dat

My favourite pieces out of this kit are: lamp, nail cleanser and nail primer. The lamp is a bit small, but fits 4 nails comfortably and I do my thumb separately. I use my own gel polishes from ther brands, but these basic items from Sensationail work amazing so I keep repurchasing them individually! The nail primer especially. It really increases the longevity of my gel manicure!

I have always been obsessed with the idea of a nail polish that lasts at least a week chip free....I stopped doing my nails altogether because the chipping after one day looked so bad and got so annoying it didn't seem worth it anymore. When I found out about gel nails (Shellack, OPI gel, etc) I got them done at the salon and automatically fell in love! My nails looked great for 10 days...but at $40 every 2 weeks or so, it wasn't something I could afford on a regular basis.

Enter SensatioNail starter kit. It is one of the many new at home gel kits available. It comes with everything you need to get started, including base/top coat, primer, nail cleaner, stick, lint free wipes, one coloured polish, and ofcourse the LED nail lamp. The lamp is small and compact so it fits great in a nail bag with all my other nail stuff. The only thing it doesn't come with is the removal stuff, which would be nice if it did....

It is super easy to use, literally just like normal nail polish except you set each coat under the lamp for 30 -60 seconds and it's completely dry-no waiting.

The colour I chose was raspberry wine, and i LOVE it...it's so nice, my nails look fantastic (not as fantastic as the salon because I still had to do it myself and I've never been great at that) but they look really great, haven't chipped, and are super glossy and pretty.

This will save me tons of time as I will only have to do my nails every 7-10 days. Gel can last up to 2 weeks, but my nails grow so fast that the re-growth looks awful if I leave it too long.

If you change your polish colour every couple of days this probably isn't for you, but if you are sick of chipping polish and like the idea of only having to do your nails a couple times a month, this is an amazing investment as it pretty much costs as much as 2 nail salon vists for gel or acrylic nails.

I did think the price was good ($90) until I saw it was cheaper at Walmart....that's Shoppers Drug Mart for you I guess. The polishes are also a little on the expensive side at $16, they should be a bit cheaper, but you won't be using too much of them and you can probably use gel polish from any brand, not just nailene.

I had to come on and write this review so that other girls like me can finally be satisfied with their nails ALL of the time!! I am SO happy with this purchase!!
