Le Mini Macaron Gel Manicure Kit - Cassis

This is my 1st time trying 3 in 1 gel manicure kit and also 1st time trying this brand. Very pleased to say that I am supper happy with the quality provided by this kit and brand also. The kit is very cute, looking at the shape of the mini lamp , funny cute little Macaron fallowing the brand concept. It is true that you can only do one nail at the time , but this is great to consider for trips as takes little as no space. They do have also the bigger version where you can do all one hand at the time so very practical too. The mini kit contains everything that you need to do the nails not one tome only but lets say around 10 times. It comes with the mini led lamp, usb cable that can be used for plugs and laptops, nail file and Cutile stick, remover pads and na colour. To mention the application, love that this is done smoothly, covers the nails very well because the shape of the brash is just perfect to not touch the cuticles. I done 2 coats as per instructions and must say that this are perfectly done. The finish is impressive, super shiny and very pigmented colour that lasted on my nails personally for 2 weeks. Will definitely recommend for those that loves doing nails at home

I had wanted to buy a lamp to do gel nailpolish myself for quite some time, but always thought it was a major investment. However, the Mini Macaron seemed quite affordable and looked very cute. I bought the maxi gellamp, so that my entire hand would fit under the lamp at once. The starter kit came with two shades: a dark red and a light pink which is a bit see through. Both shades look lovely. In the beginning I had to kind of figure out how to get an even colour, because the polish is a lot more thick and sticky than regular nail polish. However, it is easy to work with once you get the hang of it. I start my mani with roughing up the surface of my nails to make sure the polish stays on very long. Then I just use the products by le mini macaron as they say they should be used. The manis I do this way typically stay on for 1-2 weeks, which is a lot longer than when I use regular nail polish. Even after washing my hair the polish is still on, which regular polish never survives. The only downside to the products is that the removal of the polish is a major hassle. The starterskit came with remover wipes, but those do not work for me. I have now found a technique with aluminium foil and nailpolish remover that contains acetone which works for me, but this technique takes a while. Also, after having worn the gelpolish, my nails look damaged so I will not immediately do a gel mani again. Instead, I like to use a nailmask to restore my nails.
