    The application brush is completely bent on one side, making it extremely difficult to properly use. The protectors were also bent, and the package was over a week late.

    The product i received is half full. If i am paying $20-$30 for this product, i would atleast expect it to be full. this is very disappointing.

    Haven’t used my gel yet but the brush came broken and damaged. Kind of disappointed for the price that it was so poorly packaged and was broken upon arrival. 😒

    Don't order with the brush pen. That thing comes broken and not worth the extra money spent. *Edit to add the top ends up crumbling apart after a while. Though I do like the gel itself I don't think I'll repurchase this again.

    My product arrived in a speedy manner but the container has a hole / leak somewhere, because everytime I pick it up it’s sticky and it keeps leaving rings on my work surface. I’d only change my rating if I got a replacement or a refund because this is so annoying and messy!
