I hope this is OK to post and won't be seen as advertising. I've tried for years to grow my nails so that I can do a home manicure. I don't like going to salons as the only time I went to one, when my daughter got married, they did acrylic tips with gel polish and ruined what natural nails I did have! Since lockdown and because I haven't been gardening during the winter months, my nails have finally reached a decent length.
So, I looked online to see what was available, and I stumbled across a system that was designed in Australia called Sistaco. It uses and LED light and top and base coats like a normal gel system, but the colour is applied as a powder over the base coat - literally just brushed on. Today I have managed to do a decent set of French Tips, the first time I have ever had glamorous looking nails without all the faff! Has anyone else here used this system, and can you give me any tips (no pun intended) that make it even easier or more glamorous? What did you think of the Sistaco system compared to other gel nail sets?
