First Impressions and Initial Use
I recently received these "Trippy" gels from Nails by Dev, a generous gift from a nail bestie. The colors are unlike anything I've seen before; vibrant, unique, and full of character. I immediately put them to use, particularly for creating fun nail art designs, like flowers.
The application was surprisingly smooth. Many sculpting gels I've used in the past have been difficult to work with, especially for detailed designs. These, however, are a breeze to manage, making intricate nail art much easier.
Stickiness and Consistency
Many reviews mention these gels being sticky, but I haven't experienced that. Perhaps my cool house temperature plays a part. I have worked with other extremely sticky sculpting gels in the past, and these are far less tacky.
The consistency is perfect; neither too thick nor too thin. This allows for easy manipulation and precise application, even for intricate designs. For other sticky sculpting gels, I typically use an air vent to cool them down, but that wasn't necessary here.
Comparison to Other Sculpting Gels
Compared to other sculpting gels I've tried, these stand out due to their ease of use and pleasant consistency. Many other sculpting gels are thick and difficult to work with, especially when attempting detailed designs.
The color payoff is amazing. The shades are bold, vibrant, and have a unique sheen and sparkle that other brands often lack. The 'Trippy' name is definitely well-earned!
Overall Impression and Final Verdict
Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with Nails by Dev's Trippy Gels. The unique colors, easy application, and non-sticky formula make them a top choice for me.
I highly recommend these gels to anyone looking for high-quality sculpting gels that are both versatile and fun to work with. They're definitely worth the purchase, and I'm already eyeing Nails by Dev's new sculpting gel collection!
