AZUREBEAUTY Dip Powder Nail Starter Kit White Mauve Glitter Champagne, Dipping Powder 4 Colors Set, French Nail Art Base Top Coat Activator Liquid Manicure DIY Salon 12 PCS

The media could not be loaded. This is amazing! So easy to do, practice will create a steady hand and better shaping. After the activator shaking the nail is a must! Definitely suggest 2 coats of top coat to give the best done and smoother finish. The flowers were hard to put on because they were buried in the white powder as a not very many of them, but so pretty. The price totally makes this a winning product. Plus it shipped in excellent condition, as other brand reviews stated they were dried up and damaged.

Alright, let me tell you—I was a salon loyalist for eight years. Every 4-6 weeks, without fail. But after getting laid off in August, I couldn’t justify the splurge. So I took the plunge into the world of DIY nails.I started with gel polish, but it chipped faster than my patience. So, I decided to try dip. I was going to keep it simple with just pink, but these old eyes saw a big difference between pink and white. Next time, translucent for the win! My nails were short and paper-thin (thanks, leftover dip) but not anymore!I did just two dips, carefully avoided my cuticles with the primer, and voilà—strong, shiny nails. A little buff, two top coats, and they'd be ready to wear solo, but I’m all about nail art! So, yes, that’s gel on top, and yes, that’s my first attempt at nail art. And YESSSS, I AM IN LOVE. I’ve already texted my friends—we’re having a nail day. I need more practice canvases!If you’re on the fence, hop off! This kit is fantastic and ridiculously easy to use. Just did these yesterday, so I’ll update if they don’t hold up for 20 days—but so far, total winner.Update .. Nov 29, 2024 today is 20 days and they are going strong! I put an updated picture. Really love 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.

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).

For context, I have been getting my nails done using dip for years, I'm not new to it and I've even dabbled with doing it myself at home during the pandemic. Needless to say, I'm not new to the dip system. When I first started using this kit, I did 4 layers and it seemed to work fine. Colors are good, and it was easy enough to put on. The only drawback at first was that it didn't last as long as the salon. When I went to take it off, it came off literally like glue. It takes FOREVER to take this stuff off your nail.When I put it on the next time, I did 3 layers... boy oh boy was that a mistake. nails chipped over and over again. One day I would get 3 chipped nails, I would fix the nails one night, and the next day I would get three more chipped nails and have to fix them again! It was very frustrating and NOT the reason I wanted to stop going to the salon! I ended up getting a Kiara Sky kit and am now adjusting to that consistency.tldr; I would ONLY order this kit if you are new to dipping and want to see if it's for you, or want to learn techniques before jumping to a better more expensive brand!

So pretty. So many compliments. Easy to use for beginners and seasoned pros

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.

Wife loves the nail polish.
