Beetles Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter, 20 Colors Pastel Pink Yellow Blue Glitter Dipping Powder Unicorn Collection Nail Dip for DIY Salon Nail Art with Base Top Coat Activator Brush Saver Gift for Women

I started using dip at home when the pandemic hit. It was a little bit of a learning curve but, helped me to keep my natural nails long. My first kit was from oopove & I really liked it but they don’t sell it anymore. I also tried a kit from Gellen and the dips are fine but the polish part isn’t good. Recently my dip was chipping a lot more quickly & I figured it was because my polishes are old, so ordered this one (as I wanted both the base/top part & some new colors).This is my 3rd brand and I’m very happy with the value. Yes, the dip containers are smaller than my other sets, which makes it harder to dip the nail (I end up scooping it over the nail instead of dipping), but there are 4 times the amount of colors & they’re super fine, so it’s ok with me!The sky blue is the first color I tried & I did them basically in the dark so I should have added another layer of color but they lasted so well compared to previous ones. I took the blue off last night after 2 weeks (idk how some people get 3-4 weeks between manis) because the nails were growing out & they were starting to chip on some of the edges. They were not lifting near the cuticle yet like some of my other brands have. I was sure to push back cuticles, buff the natural nail, wipe with alcohol wipe & use a nail dehydrator before I started dipping.Taking it off is the biggest pain/takes the most time for me. Don’t try to peel or pick dip off or you’ll damage or rip your nail! :( Like a fool, I did this but was able to glue it back on & add dip over top to “save” it. To remove properly, you have to file through the clear top coat & then soak them in acetone.Last night I did the bright pink and added a layer of the white glitter on top. There was no need for a layer of clear dip (doesn’t come in this kit) as the glitter is very finely milled. My nails are totally smooth just with buffing & then the top coat over the glitter.Since these pink nails are thicker I’m not sure if they’ll last as well, but they feel sturdier, so I hope so.Long, rambling, story short, I would recommend this kit if you’re looking to try dip at home!!

Love the colors. the dip pots are wider so some people are complaining that the pot isn't full to the brim. but for one it makes for less mess, and 2 the pot is bigger so its not less product is just a more sutable dip dish and I love that. The red went on perfect almost no filing needed. And by two dips it was perfect. I also cromed them with the white shimmer they give you and I put the same dip over white on the other nails to get a bright sugar white glitter. Some decals and top coat and bam professional nails. I love this set of nails. 10 bucks is a steal for this set. Its a 10 out of 10 for me, this brand never fails.

Mine did not come with the brush. I have not used them on my nails yet, but I did some testers and I like the colors. This is a nice set if you want lots of colors for a cheap price. I did a gel top coat and did not use the Beetles top coat. The pots are small so it is a little hard to dip the nail in at the right angle and I imagine this would need to be dumped over the nail for longer nails. I think it is a good amount of powder for the money though.I don’t really like they call this a “starter kit” because it doesn’t have any natural or clear powder. So you have to just use the color right on the nail. I’m going to wait for my natural and clear before using it on real nails. I think it would be really helpful to have the clear to encapsulate the glitters. I think it would be better to call this an “expansion pack” because it contains powders and then you get the liquids.Overall, I’m pleased and I think it’s a great set for the money if you want to try new colors without really investing in them. You also get just enough to play with but not so much that you feel you’re wasting money if you don’t want to use all the colors completely.

I got all the colors and all the sparkles and I have been having so much fun this month for pride. I've bought several different types of dips from Amazon and private companies, but I keep coming back to these because I love the colors and the sparkles.

The media could not be loaded.  I have been doing my own gel polish for years but this was my first time applying dip powder. I followed a tutorial on tik tok so I didn't make it too thick after a terrible, thick set at the nail salon, and it came out pretty well. I accidentally skipped the buffing stage which would have made it a little smoother, but next time I wont forget. I've had them on for about a week now and there's no chipping or cracking to be found! Still looks fresh and well done.

I love this brand, but this particular product, I don’t know if the powders or the liquids or the mix of both won’t last! I just did that last night, and I have used the set several times. I thought i was the problem but on tik tok you see several people complaining about these chipping within hours…. do not buy,

This set has beautiful colors and comes with so many powders as well as the base, top coat, activator and brush saver. The base coat hasn’t been as strong as I would have hoped it to be. I’ve tried 4 different colors and all have same issue. Brakes after about 5 days of use. Other base coats are stronger for sure. But the price sort of reflects the quality. I was outside the return window when I was going to request a replacement.

Colors are ok, kit is easy to use but the glitter is a mess, I recommend spreading out a towel or news paper, better yet do your nails outside because the glitter gets everywhere. You also have to follow the instructions to the letter so you don't get cracks. I dip twice and put on a generous amount of activator and 2 top coats.
