My Aliexpress buys Reviews: the Meh



By Meh I mean these products that I didn't regret buying, but they had some flaws. So here we go:

Elite99 Gel Polish
I'm talking about the 3-step, not the 1-step system. I bought them in a bundle and costed about €2 each. You need to use a base and top coat. The smell is very funky, if you have a sensitive nose you can't stand it. The texture is quite runny, and after some use clots developed. The mani lasted for about a week - ten days. On the plus side there is a wide range of colours to choose from, and even a thermal colour-changing line. Overall it is much worse than the CND, and even the Bluesky line, but it's dead cheap.

The Rectangular Hard Case Rhinestones
This set costs about €1.4. The Rhinestones are of the same quality as the Wheel ones, so it's a good deal. The problem here is the case. After some time, the compartments' doors don't close firmly, so in my case they opened in my supplies case and the rhinestones got everywhere. Needless to say, I had to throw them away. As I had bought three cases, I transferred the remaining stones in Wheel cases.


The White Peel Off Liquid Tape
It costed me €2.5. I was actually pretty satisfied with that until my Sis gave me the Simply Peel Liquid Latex Barrier by Bliss Kiss. Then I realised the cheap version wasn't worth it. Although it does the job it's supposed to, the removing part isn't that pleasant, as it doesn't come as one, but you have to peel small pieces of it. It also takes twice the time to dry. And the smell is not very pleasant.





Stamping plates
They are the most generic plates you can find. There are several options: I've bought a bundle of ten for €3.5, but I couldn't choose the designs, I've bought bundles where I chose the design for €6 for the 10, and I've also bought individuals for €0.8 each. Some of them are quite good, some of them don't stamp at all. There are circle and octagon ones. The latter tend to be of better quality. But ...



The Born Pretty Stamping Plate Case
Cost me about €2, and it can hold up to 20 plates. The problem is that the octagon plated can't fit in the pockets, so you have to force them in, damaging the pocket.
