Note to buyer: this set DOES NOT include acrylic liquid. If you don't need the liquid than please proceed.
I have just started applying my own acrylic nails and wanted a starter kit where i could play around with designs and styles. This had almost everything needed to do this except the Acrylic liquid to go with the powder.
I was happy when package arrived and ready to get trialing, but surprised when i found no liquid. Upon a closer look at my order i realised it didn't mention the acrylic liquid was part of the pack. My bad, kind of took the shine off. Ended up having to purchase liquid separately.

I have been getting gel with extensions done at salons (asian) for years, but as its getting costly and have a puppy to attend to i cant always make it out to get my nails done on a weekend morning when i have the chance. After watching them do my nails for years i pretty much get the jist, so i looked for a kit to use which had the basics. Alot of kits on Amazon provide powder colour gel pots which i dont know how to use, so this was the best i could find for the norm, and for the price its brilliant.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2018
Traditionally at salons from my experience, they just add extensions, powder and liquid (monomer) and a gel colour of my choice. This kit also provides nail files to help shape your desired, a nail trimmer, and cuticle stick. Doing my nails myself will never be as perfect as salons use electric tools, but this is enough for me to get me by as i am used to having long nails e.g texting, typing on a keyboard etc, baring in mind i've had extensions for about 4 years now.
The only extras i needed which are pretty IMPORTANT are; nail glue, monomer (acrylic powder liquid), gel colours and a UV lamp which i borrowed from a friend. Altogether its costed me no more than £50 for equipment, could get a few manicures done, probably enough for less than £5 each, which at a salon for a full set would cost me £40 (including take off and new set).
To conclude, if anyone is in a similar situation to me then i would highly recommend this kit, given you also purchase extras. I did it all on here. Hope this helps someone!

Maybe spend a little more to get the right stuff but you can make this work.

This would have been better if it included monomer and nail glue. Luckily I bought after reading reviews so I wasn't stuck without it..Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2020
So this came with most of the things you would need. You will definitely need to get a different brush to apply acrylic ( I actually used a eyeshadow brush lol) but it worked for me.
You will need additionally;
Monomer
An application brush
Nail glue
Nails - although it comes with them, it's not the best so get the yellowy natural nails
Nail clippers if you want coffin shape. It does come with the cutter.
The smoothing block (you can get ten for like £5)
Electronic filer (can't remember the brand but it's not more than £18 and it's a grey hub with one knob and two switch's on the front)
Cuticle oil
The quality of these things aren't the best however you can make it work if you have time and patience. I would advise you to go to the nail supply store to get the proper ones but this is usable should you have the tools.
I ordered the filer that I know is used in the nail shops and a shellac set via Amazon which helped me to do my nails somewhat decently.
As I practice I will undoubtedly get better but for now these will do.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2019
I’ve never done acrylic on myself before and the stuff in the kit is great, however instructions are useless because they’re for a uv lamp that isn’t even included, and there are a few essentials missing! The brush is beyond unusable! How I finished one hand I don’t know but now I can’t do the other because the bristles have fanned out and curled!! The pink acrylic is far to clear so I mixed the white and pink together, I don’t know if it’s common practise to put a base in the pot 2/3 of the way up but it’s deceiving with how much powder you get! 2 stars because I did eventually get 1 hand done and finished!
