I usually love Essence products, and was excited to use the Better Than Gel Nail range. The nails look great the first day you do them, but I find that the edges of the tips start to catch on things and rip after a while. By the end of 4 days I had to take them off as they were starting to look tatty. I have tried them twice (both the long style and short style) and have had to remove both by the end of 4 days. They definitely do not last the 10 days as stated on the packaging!

They are easy to use and I think would be perfect for a special occasion where you want your nails to look good for a night or so.

The glue and remover can be used again afterwards.
