@@cowaburber it's the edges...so sharp. I've never seen someone do square nails with a legit 90 degree angle. Like it's usually gently filed a little so it's not an accidental weapon
@@cowaburberthe tip is also flared out a bit as well, so it’s not following her natural C curve. Therefore, it doesn’t look like a natural extension of your nail because your free edge isn’t going to become wider than your nail plate when it grows out.
Def good for quick temporary set but not very strong at all, I’ve tried multiple sets many different times with new kits each time and still not that great long term. But they’re super cute and worth it for a fancy dinner or dance or short weekend trip.
💡READ THE DIRECTIONS. Notice that there are 3 different bottles in that kit. The brush isn’t missing…you’re supposed to use the brush that’s in other bottle of liquid that came with the kit. She didn’t exactly do the process correctly but the kit does work well. I buy a similar kit by Kiss from any store that sells it. I buy the kit that has both the natural nail tips & the french tips because I mostly use the french tips. I have been doing my own nails this way for a year + and I LOVE IT. My natural nails are healthier because they’re NOT being filed down & abused (like they do everyone’s nails at the nail salon). The kit is easy to travel with AND I can usually find the kit at most stores (CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Publix etc) if I need a quick fix. I recommend you try it.👍🤩💝
@@KarmicKonversationz - 👍Yes. The first few times when I was learning & I didn’t do such a good job and they did last as long. I’m really good now. I don’t flood my cuticles anymore and they last. I change them every 2-3 weeks. I put on a 2-3 coats of the glue & activator. It makes a nice natural covering without being too thick. I keep my nails professionally short length (it’s just my style & preference) and because I play the piano and I hate to hear the sound of nails on the keys and on the computer keyboard. I never plan to give the salons my money and time again. My nails are healthy. I always get compliments. I hope Kiss doesn’t change the formula, product or price. I love the kit. I wear only the French tips and give my friend rhe natural tips because she likes to wear different colored nail polish. 💅 💅I have a friend who uses the kit bow too and she keeps her nails long. She doesn’t trim them down like I do and she’s very happy with the kit as well.
Ive used the kit for a long time and I love it. It's so easy and they look great. You can't beat the price. The one that I've used has regular fake nails, not the little tips , and you can make them whatever you want .
I've used the dip kit and it's slightly different from the kit here. It's got regular nails , gel glue, activator, dipping powder and they work great. Try it, you'll like it .
When filling nails - even plastic nails - always file in ONE direction, towards the center of the nail. File at an ANGLE, never hold your file perfectly perpendicular to your nail or you'll fray the threads. With fake nails finish with a downward single swipe and wipe the excess frayed plastic away. Otherwise your nails will catch on things. I've worn press ons for years during times I've been growing my nails out and they do NOT have to have plastic fraying after filing.
I used this kit when I was on vacation, to look pretty for a fancy dinner, it was perfect! 🤩 Anyways... You use the brush in the cleaner bottle and put it back in the cleaner bottle when you're done! 🎉 That way the activator doesn't solidify on the brush!!
Read the actual instructions.. this person did not at all. There was bo Missing brush. Its kept in the cleaner bottle and she didnt do the kit right a all. You use the activator on the wet gel glue not wait for it to dry.. sheesh this woman is passing such misinformation
Thanks for your help! whew! Wasn't sure what to do but the truth is you gave a short video and I read some of your replies and it is extremely helpful! 👍🏽
Same once this set starts popping off or I soak them I have to find an alternative! I love treating myself but every time I look at the price I think about groceries. Everything is so expensive so I'd rather spend that money another way.
I love the nails but id use diff polish . UV gel polish then cure it in lamp. Would look great ...or just a top coat of UV gel polish to cure and seal the look to help make it last a long time ❤ i like classic square french
I actually use that exact one all the time. If you read the instructions the brush that is in the cleaner you use for the activator also. And, it does come with a nail file. A blue and pink one! 😊
@@vianeyjiselle the brush cleaner is there yes but we are talking about the 'brush' in the cleaner that is suppose to be used in the activator interchangeably. She stated she had to get a brush herself to complete the set.
Yeah she did not take the time to read the instructions or she would have done a lot better job it wouldn't have had it all over her fingers needless to say that it just looked like they were razors
Yeah, this is what astonishes me and it’s not just her, but other influencers do it all the time as well! If you’re going to make a video doing a product review and you don’t take the time to “read” the instructions and then state issues you have with the product that are really only issues because YOU chose not to “read” the instructions, how is that fair to not only your followers, but the manufacturers of the product?!? I mean, they may or may not be paying you because I’ve seen it both ways, which it’s worse when you’re being compensated for the review, but even when you’re not, it’s still unfair to the business! I don’t know, 🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion! 🤔💭
Idk why everyone hating this is beautiful and yes it does look pretty natural compared to other types of nail applications such as acrylics, men just love to hate on anything 😂
I got this kit before they look so good but, the brush is in the brush cleaner (the clear stuff) and they last for a long time hioe you enjoyed them like i did!!!
For anyone who’s scared to buy nails from dollar tree or dollar general thinking they won’t last long, here’s how to make them last longer😛😛 so instead of putting a bunch of nail glue and than just slapping on the nail, file the top of your natural nails softly and than use a prep pad, let the stuff from the prep pad dry and than hold the nail glue down on your natural nails while squeezing the nail glue lightly, make sure to leave a small gap between the cuticle and sides of your natural nails, and than put a little small bit of nail glue on the fake nails and hold them down for 15-30 seconds. after that avoid water for 30 minutes to an hour😍😍
I used this kit a long time ago and if I remember correctly you're supposed to use the brush cleaner brush for the activator. Otherwise some kits come with an extra brush. It's probably best to always read the instructions because kits are different with different ways of applying.
I’m gonna be really honest about my experience with this nail kit. I always had an issue with it cracking in a pattern all over my nails. I used to use these like a decade ago, but they’re not exactly something I would buy nowadays because I found other things that work better for me. I I am currently using the three step nail tek system from Sally’s beauty supply. I am aware that it’s spelled incorrectly, but that’s how they spell it on the bottle.
Thank you so much I had to search on my history for this short because I’ve been doing this based on your video and it definitely last longer with the activator and brush on glue thank u :)
I used that before they were pretty nice and easy to do , also the brush for the glue is the same brush for the activator which is why there’s a brush cleaner solution
I can appreciate the fact that this is simple and quick… but there are lots of bubbles in the clear gel for the natural look… I am wondering if it is the glue or if it had been shaken by accident and created bubbles? Ty for sharing…
You are supposed to use the brush from the cleaner bottle. You are also supposed to do a couple layers. The directions are on a paper folded up inside. And they look pretty good if you read and follow the directions.
I like this kit but as a dish washer and pizza dough maker they didnt last as long as i had hoped. The brush for the activator is inside the brush cleaner. Youre supposed to switch the caps for the application and then put it back in the brush cleaner when you store it. Mine got a little gunked up after the 2nd application though.
I don’t know much about nails but I’m the instruction it says to use the brush in the brush clean then put it in the activater and use it then pit it back in the brush cleaner ❤️
You’re supposed to use the brush in the brush cleaner bottle. Then put it back in the cleaner when done using. I just watched a video on the kiss TH-cam channel :)
The shape makes it look ridiculously UNnatural...
Right😂
you can grow your.. natural nails out.. and file them like that. how is it unnatural… it’s just square?? 😂

The corners look like razor blades
Right? Why so sharp? I could never. Gonna cause injuries...
@@babyinvasionall you have to do is file them lol
@@lilkeyla5769 that's my point lol 👻
Her nails right 🤔
I love that look
As much as the shape isn’t for me, this is a genuinely nice job for an inexpensive kit. Please keep posting I enjoy your videos!
Exactly what I was thinking
FINALLY A POLITE COMMENTER! SO MANY OF THE OTHER COMMENTS ARE SO RUDE ABT THE SHAPE
Agreed
File them edges tf
😂
Lmaoo. I'm actually not mad at it, i usually hate square
Edit: i didn't see how jagged they were 😬
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

😂 she like “tf”

No you have to apply the activator when the gel glue is still wet in order for it to bond into one solid surface. It’s in the directions
No wonder why mine still felt like I just put a coat on. Lol, thank you. I'm going to do my nails over tomorrow.
Do you use a lamp with these? Looking for a UV gel alternative. This looks like it doesn't require curing? Thanks!! 😊
Thank you!!! She confused me 😂 And every kit I've bought has an extra brush lol
@@gennstaa1312no lamp!!
okay 👍🏼😂 thanks for the tip
The original nails were freaking beautiful!
Beauty on a budget I freaking love it! ❤
I love the shape but people hate it i think it looks clean af
This is the shape I usually get lol....just longer
For this being a seven dollar nail kit I think it looks really good!💅🏼

Gonna start this. Nail salon Is not apart of my budget anymore.
I literally screamed out BINGO when I saw this. I can do my nails how I want now
hahha

I wish I could do a natural look on myself. I’m terrible at doing my own nails but I keep trying. It looks so nice on you!
I have always love cheap nails. They are fun to use
Your nails are so strong and healthy!
Bless them.
😒

The adhesion looks great. Slightly rounds the corners to soften them.
Makes the nails look more natural.

I just did the short ones last night I usually use the same kit with longer nails.. works good for something quick and easy
The brush is in the brush cleaner, you use that in the activator. Unless they didn't put it in there either🤔

Why are y’all hating it’s the way people hating can’t even afford this anyways I love your vids! I watch them all the time
I love these and i use them on my big toe nails
I'm not feeling the shape I would've filed them some more.. I can see them snagging on something or scratching someone.😊
I like those kits. They are really easy to use and last longer than you expect for the price.
You have the best cuticles ever!
My go to ALWAYS AND THEY BE LOOKING PROFESSIONAL!!❤❤❤❤❤
Next time try only buffing the edge of your nail where you're gluing the nail tip.
Yes. The buffing on the nail was particularly vigorous.
I use this kit all the time, their amazing, light weight, and look natural with the sides filed down more 😊
Ppl love to hate them nails looked tf goodt!
Cute natural nail
Those pink nails are so cute
I do my own nails as well, they look great!
Idk why everyone hating this is beautiful and yes it does look pretty natural compared to other types of nail applications such as acrylics, men just love to hate on anything 😂

There are several DIY nail channels one of my favorites is Suzie at Nail Career Education and my second favorite is Evie at Long Hair Pretty Nails
I was thinking the same thing..
if you bite your nails at all this isn’t the best product but if you want to get into nails it’s an easy starter thing
Rite!!!
Yes, do your own nails!
SAVE YOUR CASH!!!!
My daughter needed that and I was literally at Dollar general...❤

It looks great and the other hand too❤
Just perfect filing down the nails. However, I'm going to get this. It looks easy

Do file those sharp nail tip edges, gently round them off so they don't tear your skin! UK 🇬🇧
You properly push back cuticles in a gentle, little “c” motion just for future knowledge.
