Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit

Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit!

Hi Everyone!  I hope everyone is having a great and productive Monday thus far.  I just wanted to quickly review a kit I tried from CVS called the Fuse Gelnamel starter kit and give you the pros and cons and all the deets about the product so if you've ever been interested in doing gel self manicures, read below!  

So there's a new kit at CVS for girls who love gel!  I looove gel nails!  All I ever use is gel so of course I'd be curious.  Here's a peak inside 

What you get:

* The gel polish *Cleanser

* a small nail file

*stick

*Mini UV box & charger 

So a 5 piece kit for 14.99.  Not too bad I think, considering it's reusable and should last you.  After a few uses it pays for itself basically. 

How it works: 

You simply paint your nails with the gel paint and put each finger in the UV individually and once it's dry, your done!

Pros:

The price is a pro because it's a system you can use again and again.  After a few times of using it, you'll have already saved money that would have been spent at the nail shop.  The paints are really pretty and they have a good size selection also.  Also, this paint doesn't chip!  It shouldn't, it's gel after all but I thought I'd mention that.  

Cons:

  There may still be a tackiness to the paint after doing this only once.  You may have to do it twice but once it's set, it's set.  Also, this gel formula is not as strong as gel paints at the nail shop.  I've noticed a lot of products you can buy from beauty supplies etc (when you want to do something yourself) are never really up to par with the nail shop so there's that.  It isn't exactly the same but still really good.  Also, obviously this is more time consuming since you can only do one finger at a time verses all 10 at once.  I kind of like that it's individual like that and that you aren't putting your entire hands into a UV box.  I actually kind of like that but in the end, it's still a con because it takes maybe triple the time than it would to dry.

Overall feeling of the product: 

I think that it's a really good product.  For girls that can't have acrylics because of your job, this is a good option for you to still have some strength to your nails and to keep them nice. Budgetnistas; If you can't afford the nail shop right now, this is a good kit for you!   For girls who like the gel but don't really like the nail shop, this is for you and creative girls, this is for you too.  It really just depends on what you like. 

I hope you enjoyed this review!
