I rarely ever do my nails and have only used regular nail polish. I've always been intimidated by gel manicures but I decided to try Kijibae and wore them to a wedding. Since I'm a beginner at press-ons in general, it took me about 30 minutes to carefully apply, trim, and file my set but I was pleased with the results. I like the Passenger Princess design because she's minimalist but still cute. Easy and straightforward. Kijibae has lots of very easy-to-understand tutorials. I highly recommend watching those ahead of time so you don't miss any steps or important tips. My nails have lasted 6 days so far, and I think they still have at least 6-10 more days left. The edge of the strip near my cuticle started to get a very slight gap underneath, so my hair gets caught if I'm not careful when putting my hands through my hair (tying ponytail, washing hair). Not sure if this is normal when getting gel manicures or using press-ons in general, but thought I would note that.
