Arrived eventually, wrapped in bubble wrap, not boxed, as was advertised. Went on ok, but I haven't tried any other products to compare to and only lasted 10 days.

These are awful!! Don't waste your money!
These are awful! The pots are too small for dipping. Takes at least three coats for the product to show the colour. The top coat is super glue, it actually stuck my fingers together!! I've been growing my nails out from a bad experience with tips since May. I'm now waiting for acetone to arrive to remove this monstrosity from my nails, which no doubt are wrecked again! The packaging is cheap, the product is rubbish and comes with no invoice, or details of how to return. I was a fool and bought two sets based on the reviews., which l now believe are fake. DONT BOTHER!
Great product
The website is beautiful and the ordering process is simple. The products arrived quickly and are of very good quality. The manicures looks as beautiful as I expected them to be. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. I can recommend them!
Interesting kit
This manicure system is a very interesting alternative, I have always used nail varnish but wanted to try something that lasts longer and looks a bit nicer, therefore I bought this kit and am happy with it! I think Manicista should create some more tutorial videos, for example a removal video or a French manicure video!
In love
I have never had a long lasting manicure before because I don’t like my nails feeling fake, but I decided to give this product a try. The products are easy to apply, colors are gorgeous and my nails look beautiful and strong!! So excited!
Great product Received my order on time instructions…
Received my order on time instructions were available to download and were very easy to follow,I’ve just used for the first time and I absolutely love my nails and so would definitely recommend this product
Do a full cycle before judgment
I made sure to do a full cycle (application and removal) before reviewing, so now I can give an honest and extensive review and feedback for Manicista. Highly recommended.
Bigger pots please
Very happy with everything my only critique would be the size of the powder pots, there is so much powder inside the small pots that it is very difficult to dip without making a mess, so please increase the size of the pots with the same amount of powder, that will make these kits perfect!!!
5 * customer service
Great products, love the manicures!! And special thanks to Anne from customer support, she always replied so quickly and always made sure to go above and beyond, thank you so much!
Terrible terrible product
Terrible terrible product! Doesn’t even last a week….. the customer service is equally as terrible! Don’t waste your time or money
Only lasts 10 days
I am happy with the kit and love how the manicures look, but unfortunately they only last 7-10 days for me, not sure what I am doing wrong.
A week in and still a perfect manicure
A week in and still a perfect manicure. Easy to apply and fabulous results
This is honestly the best product I…
This is honestly the best product I have bought off of Facebook, usually the products are pretty worthless, but this kit is exactly as I expected it and it is very easy to use. I have only 2 manicures so far, but I can definitely see myself using this for a long time! Thank you Manicista for a great product.
Don’t buy
Don’t buy. If I’d give no stars I could. I’ve asked for a refund. Didn’t get the full kit for a start of and then the activator bottle was half empty so impossible to get enough product on the brush. Absolute ripoff.
Takes some practice
If you buy it, don’t just try once and give up, most likely it’s going to take 3-4 attempts until your manicures look great. Once you master the process, it’s amazing. I am definitely going to reorder.
Total waste of money
From China, not from UK. False advertising, nothing like the description. Smallest start up kit not like what is seen on screen, no box, arrives in bubble wrap, powder tubs very small (that you can’t fit your finger in like seen in ad). Colours nothing like what I ordered (and shimmery which I don’t like). Will take a good 3 or 4 coats to make glossy - just looks messy and dull. Very messy, very faffy and fiddly to use. Wish I had read reviews before I wasted £30. Really hard to get off. Don’t buy!
RECEIVED MINE NOT IMPRESSED COULD…
RECEIVED MINE NOT IMPRESSED COULD HARDLY READ THE LABEL ON THE BACK AS WRITING SO SMALL, NO OTHER INSTRUCTIONS SO I WANT TO RETURN THEM, I TRIED ON ONE NAIL VERY ROUGH AND THENTRIED TO REMOVED IT AND IT WONT COME OFF SO I HAVE ONE NAILED PAINTED, NOT HAPPY
Fantastic Kit
Decided to go for Manicista instead of other brands because of the price. I don’t really care about fancy packaging and I think that’s the only thing you don’t get with these kits from Manicista compared to other brands, so it’s perfect for me!
Dreadful product
Dreadful product. Don't waste your money. Very patchy finish and hard to remove. Most disappointed.
Positive surprise
I’m usually very skeptical, but decided to get this regardless as it looked so easy and I am very happy with the kit so far! Did one manicure so far, the instructions are easy to follow, the nails dry instantly and it is as easy as I hoped! The only thing that I don’t like is that some of the liquids have quite a strong smell.
Amazing product but ugly packaging
When I received my parcel I was disappointed that it wasn’t in a box and immediately emailed them, they explained that they sell kits with and without the box, therefore it is my fault for not checking. The product itself is great, the manicures look gorgeous and really last for up to 4 weeks, not bad for a kit that is only £30
