THE REVIEW OF DOOM!!! – I reviewed
Sally Hansen’s Insta Gel Strips Starter Kit. http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails/gel-nail-color/salon-insta-gel-strips-starter-kit.
Overall, the kit is okay. The strips just did not work with my tiny, baby
fingers. But it is easy for those that are not into fiddly things, and the LED
lamp can be used with the paint and other products. Other than that, I think it
would be better to get the gel paint starter kit than this. This starter kit
was around $30. It is worth the extra money to plunk down for the gel paint
starter kit instead (http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails/gel-nail-color/salon-gel-polish-starter-kit)
