I found the Speedy tip soo strong,there really quick to apply v. happy with them,I also got the gems there just Wow v. inpressed! the only thing i found dissapointing was the Hi-White Gel it was not at all White it was beige,and not at all nice as a french look, i was really disappointed with this product.(Hi Michelle you must of had a faulty white gel i will get a new one out to you).
