Le Mini Macaron Gel Nail Polish Kit with LED Light, DIY At-Home Polish Nail Kit | Non-Toxic, Fast-Drying 3-in-1 Set for Long-Lasting, Salon-Quality Nails, File, and Remover Wraps (Rose Crème)

This set is absolutely adorable! The kit comes with the gel polish and a matching mini lamp, a set of gel removal wraps (10), a set of manicure prep pads (2), a miniature nail file, and a miniature cuticle pusher. I’ve been using Le Mini Macaron polishes for almost a year now, and I love how easy they are to work with! Whether I’m painting simple coats of color, or crafting nail art, LMM polishes make the process simple and fun! I purchased the Coconut Yogurt kit, so my polish and lamp were a super pale shade of pink, similar to the Essie cult classic “Ballet Slipper”. This color is the perfect shade, beautiful on any skin color and a classic one-polish-manicure color! Because it’s also a neutral shade, it also works as a beautiful base color for nail art! The lamp fits in the palm of your hand, making it super easy to use and to take with you on the go! It’s crafted to allow you to dry one nail at a time, making this the perfect lamp to use while traveling, or even to do touch ups! The duo of the mini nail file and cuticle pusher are the ultimate mani prep tools! The file is perfect for shaping your nails and prepping the surface (having a lightly filed surface gives the polish something to hold on to, making your mani last much longer!). The cuticle pusher is about to become your best friend; not only can you use the silicone end to prep your cuticles, but you can use the thin and angled end to clean up any polish that gets on your skin, which is super important! Any polish that gets on the cuticle or skin surrounding your nails will prevent the polish from curing properly, which leads to peeling and chipping. This was my second time using the gel polish removal wraps and I have to say I liked them much better this time! After lightly filing my previous manicure, I wrapped my nails in these and let them sit for about 25 minutes. When I took off the wraps, the polish (all LMM shades) had completely lifted! This was my first time using the manicure prep pads, and I found them to be perfect for removing any filing dust or oil from the surface of your nails right before you start polishing. Lastly, the kit comes with one full size gel nail polish, which is the same color as the lamp! This was the first time I ordered through Amazon (I usually order LMM from Ulta Beauty), and I have to say I was pleased with the experience. My LMM kit arrived within a week of placing my order. The only downside was that the kit package was dented in one spot, but none of the actual products were damaged or missing. I will definitely continue to use Le Mini Macaron products! **This review is a partnership with Le Mini Macaron**

I have been using Le Mini Macaron for a little over a year and I recently received the Lilac Blossom DIY Gel Manicure Kit. I am so happy that the kit now comes with an upgraded LED Nail Dryer Lamp that is USB Type C! This kit includes everything you will need to make your nails beautiful and be out the door in no time! You get a fabulous gel shade, a mini one finger dryer lamp, 2 manicure prep pads, a cuticle stick, a nail file, and 10 wraps to remove your polish! As someone who has been using LMM for a bit, I find that practice definitely makes perfect especially in the beginning! It is instrumental to prep your nails. I use the included file to lightly buff the surface of my nails – this is done so that the polish can get into the grooves you create and really stick to the base! Then I clean my nails off with the manicure prep pad – this helps remove any oils that are on your nails, again a really important step for that first base coat! Once my nail beds are prepped and ready to go, I always start with an incredibly light and thin first coat that I cure with the lamp. From there, I apply a normal amount of polish to my nails and cure again. You can do more coats of polish as you wish (curing with the lamp after each coat) and even apply the LMM Gel Top Coat for a fabulous shine! In the beginning, because I was learning how to do my nails, it would take me longer to complete my hands, but with time and practice, I’ve gotten better and it now takes less time. I’m able to sit on my couch or my bed and stream a show and be done within that time frame for a simple mani. I am hard on my nails, I’m a working mom that washes dishes by hand at times and I use my nails and fingers for several things that I probably shouldn’t, like scraping stickers off! With that said, I do experience peeling at the tips occasionally, however, again I recognize that I am not gentle with my nails. My cup half full observation here is that by owning this kit, I can fix any nail at home and on my time without having to wait or make an appointment. I also love that I can change my nail color when I am ready! The quality of LMM gel polish and products overall is phenomenal! There are many things I really love about this brand and at home gel manicures. There are a ton of colors to select from, the price point fits my budget, and most importantly, I can do my nails when it is convenient for me. I’m not having to schedule an appointment and take time out of my busy working mom day to go to a salon. Don’t get me wrong, I love being pampered but the reality of my life is that my days are hectic with a full-time job, two kids, a dog, a husband, and adulting responsibilities. Le Mini Macaron gives me the opportunity to feel pretty and put together on my time. It also gives me the joy of bonding with my daughter when we do manis & pedis at home which is much easier on my wallet as well!

The little UV light is great! It does take a little more time but perfect for traveling. I do not recommend the nail polish at all. The entire time the nailpolish was leaking down the sides. I had to constantly wipe the bottle with a papertowel. Though it only took 2 layers for coverage it did not adhere to my nails at all. I did prep with everything that came in the kit and normally i can get my nails to last at least a week and a half. The nail polish didnt even last the night.

I recently tried out the Le Mini Macaron Gel Nail Kit and overall, I had a really good experience—especially as a complete beginner to gel polish! The color Coconut Yogurt is beautiful and applied very evenly without streaks, which I really appreciated. The instructions were clear, and all the materials included in the kit were helpful. Since it was my first time applying gel polish, some of my layers ended up a little thicker on a few nails than others—but that was more of a learning curve issue on my end. The lamp worked well and dried the polish efficiently, even when I did my thumbs separately. One area for improvement would be the design of the nail polish cap. It wasn’t the easiest to grip, especially when trying to do thinner coats or apply polish to my non-dominant hand and thumbs. I also don’t keep my nails painted for long—usually just a week out of the month—and when it came time to remove the polish, I had mixed results. I liked that the remover pads smelled pleasant and not overly chemical, but even after filing the top layer, the strips didn’t fully remove the polish. I ended up with a bit of nail surface damage on two fingers. Despite those minor issues, I still really like this kit and would recommend it to beginners who want to dip their toes into at-home gel manicures. Just take your time and be gentle with removal!

I have been using Le Mini Macaron for the past couple of years now, and I’ve never been so impressed with a product. I had never gotten my nails professionally done let alone have a gel manicure before discovering LMM, but the idea of being able to do my own salon quality nails anywhere and everywhere really appealed to me. I will admit, it was a bit of a learning curve when I started out using the mini kit, but once I had practiced a few times and watched the tutorials online, I felt like a pro! The mini kit has everything you need and once you get the hang of it, it will change your life! My tips for a successful manicure are: 1) Prep is everything! The mini kit comes with a cuticle pusher (you’ll want to use the soft white end to ensure you uncover the entire nail surface) and a nail file (great for shaping the nails). LMM recommends buffing the nails with the file for the nail polish to stick, but I like to use a sanding nail block as I find it’s gentler on the nail surface. After you push your cuticles back, and file and buff your nails, it’s time to clean the nail surface to remove the dust and oils. This is very important so the nail polish can adhere to a clean surface. You can use an alcohol pad for this and make sure you get all the crevices of the nails! 2) Once your nails are completely prepped, don’t touch anything that can transfer oils back onto your nails - phone, face, hair, etc. This ensures the nail surface will stay clean. 3) You’ll want to shake the bottle for 30 seconds to make sure the nail polish is completely mixed, as it is a three-in-one gel polish. Base coat, color coat, and top coat are all included in the gel polish, so no extra steps necessary in painting! 4) Now it’s time to paint! After making sure the gel polish has been mixed properly, you’ll want to brush off all the excess gel off the brush and onto the neck of the bottle. To get that perfect first thin coat, you’ll want to make sure that hardly any polish is on the brush. Paint a thin coat, then cure in the lamp immediately for 30 seconds. The longer you expose your painted nail in the air, the higher chance it has to shrink the polish and peel, so make sure you cure after you paint right away. Then you can paint with a second thin coat and cure that as well. 4) If you’re finding your nails are too opaque after two thin coats, you can add more thin coats as you go to develop the color. What I like about Le Mini Macaron is that it’s completely DIY for great results! 5) Cure one finger at a time! The macaron shaped LED lamps are designed for this purpose - you can also do toes as well if you flip the lid around! 6) Apply a generous amount of cuticle oil and lotion after your newly painted nails for that salon quality look! It makes your nails look even better! I love Le Mini Macaron. This company was my first introduction to gel polish and I’ll never go back to regular nail polish ever again! If your nails are prepped and painted correctly, your nails can last up to two weeks and it’s so convenient to be able to do it from the comfort of your own home. LMM has truly changed my life! I hope it will change yours too!

I saw this being promoted on a program. The young lady was showing off how her nails used this product...so I thought let me give it a try. Waste of money. The UV light did not cure the gel polish in sixty seconds much less trying for 3 minutes or more. I sat on my couch waiting for my nails to cure and while doing so, based on me have a ceiling fan on, it did not take long for me to notice debris on my nail bed. I was not happy. Additionally, it did not come with a usb charger, so I had to hunt through my usb cords to charge it. Its not worth the $$$ or energy. Disappointed!

I’ve been using the Le Mini Macaron Gel Nail Polish Kit and I’m honestly so impressed! This little kit packs a punch—my gel manicure lasts over a week without chipping, which is huge for me since regular polish usually peels within days. The polish cures quickly under the cute macaron-shaped LED lamp, and it’s super easy to use at home, even for beginners. Application is straightforward: just prep, apply, and cure. The polish goes on smoothly and dries hard in under a minute. Plus, the compact size of the lamp makes it great for travel or quick touch-ups. I love that I can get salon-quality nails in minutes, and it saves me time and money. If you want long-lasting, glossy nails without the hassle of salon visits, this kit is totally worth it.

I saw this and was so excited to try it out. Overall, I am disappointed. I followed the instructions to a T the first time I used it. My polish was not completely cured, so I had to take it off since it smudged so badly. The second time I used it I used the light 3x per finger, super long process since I did that for each coat. It took forever. Still felt like it did not harden properly, and since it was not a smooth polish, it ended up looking like I had clots all over my nail polish. So again, had to take it off. The next and last time I decided to try it out, I left them on because I was in a hurry(same outcome as previous times), and within a few days they were all peeling off. Not sure if all these issues are with the light not being strong enough or the gel polish not being a professional quality. I was so excited to finally be able to do nails at home with such a cute, great design of a product. Just wish it would have worked better.
