I really wanted to love this brand. I wanted to find something that had long wear like gel nails but did not have the damage that comes with them. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me :( I bought the green flash kit - with a color of my choice. The color was really nice and the kit was easy to use, however, by the next day 7 out of my 10 nails were peeling off :( They never fully set either, so a couple of them had smudge marks in them which didn't look good. I followed all instructions to a T. It might be that different nails hold the product better than others, but if that's the case, mine were not a match. I also purchased the Active Glow polish. My thought was that after a round of traditional gel nails, I could hopefully use this formula to strengthen my nails again so they took less of a beating. I bought the color called blueberry,thinking it would give my nails a nice healthy hue. Kind of a no-makeup look for my nails. It goes on kind of oozy - where the color isn't consistent and gets blotchy in places. The color runs into the creases near the edges and cuticles and doesn't look right. The overall look of the Active Glow is one of stained nails that look like I was squishing raspberries and now my nails have pigment spotched on them. Not in a good way, in a messy way. The other problem with the brand is that they only take returns on unused products, so if you are trying them out for the first-time and spent $100 dollars, like I did, there is nothing you can do. Obviously in order to know if you like a product you have to use it - so now I just have these products sitting in my home that I don't think I will keep using since they didn't work for me. Overall, a bit of a disappointment - I'll keep looking for a natural, clean solution to long-wearing nail products. This brand wasn't it for me.
