My daughter absolutely loves painting her nails and has started asking if she can go for professional manicures. However, as she is only 9, I have been looking for something that is a step up from her current nail paints but that won’t break the bank if she continues with this level of interest. I had heard that gel nail art was offering a stylish and low-maintenance option for manicures, with a more durable and glossy finish than her current nail paint, so when I came across this set I felt it looked like it would be an ideal intermediate step as a birthday present. The Style 4 Ever Gel Studio brings the gel concept into the home, allowing her to personalize her nail designs with colours and accessories before curing them. This DIY approach to gel nails not only enables my daughter to express her creativity (which she loves!), but also provides endless fun with the ability to stick on and remove designs at will.
The Style 4 Ever Gel Studio comes in a cardboard box and contains a UV machine that is a good size, with the pink, purple and grey being a great mix for my daughter. The machine dries a press-on nail in 1 minute which is brilliant because, like most kids, she does not have the patience to wait until normal nail polish dries! There are also 3 nail polishes included, fake nails, and stickers and decorations (including smiley faces and hearts that have been a great success) to add to these. The nail polishes are lovely colours (turquoise, purple and pink), but the bottles are quite small. It is great that there is also a silicon charm mould included so she can make her own decorations to add to her nails. She just dries them under the UV lamp, and there are tools to apply them to her nails afterwards.
My daughter has loved using this with her friends, and it combines her love of craft and beauty products. The storage wheels are brilliant for keeping all the stickers and other decorations safe so they don’t get lost around the room, and the drying machine means her nails don’t get smudged. She has spent a long time using this product and it was a great present to give to her, making her feel like a professional nail artist. The nails have lasted a week so far and we are hoping they will last a few more – although if they don’t she will enjoy doing them again anyway! There are also some press-on nails for quick application when in a rush.
Overall I would recommend this nail studio, although the box could have been half the size. It is a good price for a long lasting gift, and I would say it would work well for children aged 7-12. It is important to note though that you need 4 x AA batteries to run the UV machine and these are not included so you will need to be prepared!
