The instructions are printed on paper that you can see through the envelope, which is easily removed for recycling purposes. The kit comes with a tooth shade guide so you can determine what shade your teeth are at prior to and after application of the prod...

But if you are trying to convince people about something …it doesn’t matter how good of an entertainer you are, you are not going to get your point across. …Stage presence, vocal variety, gestures, movements, and all that are there to emphas...
