These gels are great if you're looking for something dainty and simple, or even some complex nail art. Some people say you can mix regular gels with base coat to get a similar look, but I disagree! These are so much better. They are beautifully pigmented without feeling too opaque. I personally used them to create a water effect and they worked super well. I think everyone needs a couple transparent jelly gellies in their arsenal, and these are definitely my go-to's!
