Beauty Review - Fuse Gelnamel Sensationail Starter Kit.

ROUND 2!

A beauty review... Now please go easy on me as I try and find my words again after quite a long time away from a pen and paper (or more likely a computer keyboard)

I have been staring at this cute little number for over a week now, wanting to bust it out of its packaging and see if it lived up to the hype I made up about it in my head.
To be honest I bought this on a whim, I had a Priceline voucher and the Fuse Gelnail Starter Kit was selling at a special introductory price, so of course I jumped at the offer.

After reading a little ol' blog post about the KIT cosmetics LED gel nail light by a rad Aussie blogger by the name of Muskstick Mao... (from muskstickmao.com) I have wanted to give the whole DIY at home gel nails a go ever since.

I held off because of the price. $69.95AUD for the LED gel nails machine, $15.95AUD each for the gel polish and $19.95AUD for the gel remover kit. Once you add all of that together you end up looking at 3 figures.
Which isn't really overly expensive when you have a look at other gel kits out there on the market, but when I managed to pick my Fuse Sensationail starter kit up for $39.99AUD I think I got a complete bargain!

The Fuse Sensationail Starter Kit.

It's a sweet little box of goodness and I was highly impressed with the end result.

The kit comes with the Fuse LED lamp and USB adapter (also a 12 volt adapter for your wall if you don't want to sit in front of your computer desk to do your nails), a Gelnamel gel polish, a pack of 12 wipes to go with the Fuse Cleanser, a manicure stick and a double sided nail buffer.

Contents of the kit.

Application was super easy. The instructions were very clear. Buff, cleanse, polish and Fuse only one nail at a time.

The all-in-one formula means there's no need for a base or top coat, saving loads of time. They also claim it's one coat coverage which I cannot disagree with if you put it on thick enough to start with. The instructions tell you to put only a thin coat on but i found it too thin and could still see my nail underneath the gel.

But not to worry, I just applied a second coat right over the top of the first and baked that baby again! Resulting in a lovely even, streak free finish.

The little LED lamp is fantastic! Simply just plug the USB into your computer (or laptop) as I did while I caught up on the latest episode of Revenge, then put your digit in the little contraption, push the button on top and away it blows. It sets the gel in 30 seconds flat leaving it good to go. I even found it to be better than when I used to get them professionally done. I was always careful not to bump my nails after I'd been to the salon as they always put just a regular top coat on top and me being the born klutz that I am always managed to ruin them on the drive home.

All in all I think this is well worth the money spent. I will definitely be purchasing some more colours.

You can grab the starter kits and the separate gels from Priceline, Target or on the Fuse online store where the starter kits are actually on sale for 50% off which brings them down to $24.99AUD! Separate gels are $14.99AUD each.

So get your hands on one before stocks run out and get yourself a massive bargain, you will not be disappointed!

Until next time, thanks for reading!
