AZUREBEAUTY Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter, 4 Colors Pink Tones Dipping Powder Set, French Nail Art Base Top Coat Activator Liquid All Seasons Manicure DIY Salon 12 PCS

This is a great dip powder kit! If you've never used dip before, please don't give this a bad rating... you just don't know how to use it Lol. I've been doing my own nails for some time and even in this rush job I did in the picture, the powder worked just fine. The colors are EXACTLY as shown. You get various shades depending on the number of dip coats you apply. Here are some tips for FIRST TIME USERS: 1. Do NOT apply step one (the base coat) to your cuticles or on the skin surrounding the nail... ONLY your nail bed! Essentially anywhere the base coat is applied, the dip powder will be too. If you want a clean look, just apply to your nail bed right below your cuticle to the tip of your nail. 2. Brush off ANY excess BEFORE applying step 3 (activator).

Sooooooooo..... Very pleasantly surprised! I got a dip manicure a couple of weeks ago, and the nail technician just ruined my cuticles, which was made all the worse because I then had to pay wayyyyy to much for that service. Long story short, I vowed to start doing my own dip nails. I wanted something really inexpensive to try out, because, frankly, I don't like to drop cash on something I'm not 100% going to enjoy.Well, now my ass is gonna go broke, because this set was entirely too much fun. The quality is exactly what you're paying for. It looks gnaaaaaarly in the beginning, especially when you're just teaching yourself. But if you trust the process, and put, like, five coats of the powder on each nail, then they'll turn out great!The pictures I posted are from the second set I did with this kit. The first set was ratchet and messed up from the glitter. The glitter sucks. But, I'm pretty proud of these bad boys. I also used acrylic tips, so I'm blown away that the ridge from the site where the tip meets the nail doesn't show.I found that a really good, thick, coarse nail file and buffer were all the tools I needed and used. Oh, I also used a nail wrap on the ring finger. I put the wrap on the filed and buffed first three layers that were on the nail already, painted the basement coat over the wrap, and dipped it into translucent powder. I did two layers of the translucent for a total of five layers on each finger.I'm giving it five stars because it is definitely value for the price. And, omg, the dips are tiny and precious, and it's amazing how such a little amount will go with this stuff.

The kit is super easy to use. The color is nice. I haven’t tried the other colors and can’t speak to the longevity yet. This was my first time using dip, the process is a bit tedious. It’s kind of hard to keep the edges neat but hopefully I’ll get better with practice. My only complaint is the top coat takes longer than 60 seconds to dry. Other than that, this is a great kit to try if you’re a beginner like me.Update: 5 days in, some of my nails are chipping.

I absolutely love this product I have used it twice and gotten so many compliments on my nails and people cannot believe they are my real nails! I have weak nails and this has been the perfect thing for them! I also love that I don’t need to use any lamps!

The nude colors aren't really nude. They turn out white. And the floor isn't a skin tone, but a pink. Highly disappointed in the colors. The gel stuff sets okay, but the to coat dries matte, not shiny. This is my first stop powder set and I don't think I'm fully satisfied. I'm going to try better/ other brands to compare. It is quite easy to use though, so there's that.

Love the dip colors!I'm very new at this as this was my first time..as you can tell by the pics lol! But I will continue to practice til I get it down. I had lots of fun dipping away!

Nailed it powder is still going strong after a week. No chips. Completely satisfied with this product.

The dark blue is more purple in color. I'm competition new so it's okay for me just saying though the colors are glitter, white, light blue and purple
