The media could not be loaded. The photo posted in my review is to show what color result is achieved with only a SINGLE dip - I was happily surprised to find them to be pastels yet highly pigmented making for such a great coverage off of the first dip. The end result is what was achieved after dipping each nail once more making it only a total of two dips per finger on every color -including the lightest colors like yellow I not only highly recommend this product but I definitely will be a returning customer as long as I have nails on my hands lolMy nails are naturally short so to achieve the finished look I started by glueing on false tips to each nail.***The tips I prefer to use are always clear (vs white tips as white tips I find can be harder to hide under dip powders as the line of where the tip meats your natural nail can be seen through the powder unless you dip each nail repeatedly until it does not -which I find not only to be a waste of time but also a waste of the powder especially when with clear tips only two dips is needed to achieve the same result******Also clear tips in my opinion always seem to be a little thinner than standard white tips which makes them more flexible, bending just as your long natural nail would but yet thick enough to not break off****After glueing on the tips and allowing time to dry - I then lightly buffed the surface to ensure that the false tips laid flesh with my natural nails to ensure each dip would result in a smooth surface allowing for no additional filing needed after dippingAfter buffing the tips and getting them flesh with my natural nails I take a cotton ball and wipe each nail off with nail polish remover - I believe this step is not only VERY important but also this step is what makes the difference in how long your finished nails will stay on. I personally have yet to experience any of my nails popping off on their own by accident and I have done multiple sets to not only myself but my sister as well.A typical set last just about two weeks before I decide to remove them and then redo them as by that time my natural nails have grown out. Without the step of dehydrating my natural nails with the polish remover and removing any dust /oil from the buffing I don’t believe I’d be able to achieve a manicure to last 2 weeks as before including this step in the past I never was able to make it past 3 days before one popped off so I can’t emphasize enough how important that step is.Next I apply a thin base coat (one finger at a time as stated on instructions) and then quickly dip the nail into the powder as if you don’t do it quick enough-the base coat can begin to dry leaving you with an unpleasant dip result.Instantly after lifting the nail from the dip I brush off any excess back into the dip tray and then I apply a coat of activator before I move to the next finger and repeat until all 10 are complete.I then repeat that step of applying the base coat, dipping, brushing off the excess and then applying activator a second and final time to each finger.Once completed with the dipping I Lightly buff the surface of each nail making sure each nail feels smooth as a natural nail.Sometimes extra filing is necessary depending on the shape and length you want to achieve - I do this after dipping since the clear tips I choose to use are thinner than standard tips, but you could also shape the tip before dipping them, really it’s your preference and the order you choose will not effect the end result- just make sure anytime you file BEFORE you dip -you ALWAYS want to wipe each nail with a cotton ball of polish remover - I cannot stress this enoughAt this point depending on the look I’m trying to achieve I would either decorate them or if I’m going for more of a simple look I’d finish by applying a top coatIf you have the option to finish your nails with a gel top coat that requires a UV light to harden then I would suggest doing so as it only creates more strength to your nails -but I personally only use a regular polish top coat, one that’s thicker in consistency giving the affect of an authentic gel polish but dries on its own and no lamp is needed, so again it’s up to what you have available to you as well as your preferenceThe video I posted is the end result after dipping every nail into a different color - no two are the same color. I then applied a thin layer of a clear sparkly polish, to a few nails I applied some rhinestone art and then finished with a high gloss top coatHopefully this helps any one new to using dip, when i started experimenting with dip powders years ago, despite loving the end result I could never seem to get them to last as long as a manicure I got at a salon with acrylic, but over time, with a little experimenting and practice I’ve come to finally achieve the look as well as the length of time they stay on.I’ve experienced with all DIY at home manicure products on the market, including acrylic and poly gel, and out of the three- dip powder has not only been the fastest to learn how ti use as well as the fastest process when apply a whole set, but it’s also been the easiest, the less messy as well as the most affordable. (single bottle of dip powder can last you MONTHS almost a whole year if only dipping each finger twice and having them last 2 weeks before doing it again)I HIGHLY recommend for any one who’s new to the DIY at home manicure to try all the products available, personally I found it fun to experiment with them all but im sure you’ll soon learn how simple a dip manicure is compared to the other methods, as well as how much money you’ll save no longer having to spend your money on getting a set done.What it would cost me to receive a single set at the salon is more than what it cost me to buy this dip powder kit and even the tips combined.

Great kit. I’m not particularly talented with nails but with the crazy inflated price at salons? With gel and dip extra? Time for the $bs to stop. Amazingly easy.The salon techs always made mine fat thick and gloppy anyway. They said that’s just how it is. WRONG! I do have a nail dremmel/grinder tool just because I like to flatten out little ridges and clean really well under neath the edges when I’m done. I play piano and keep my nails short and sweet.Finally! My nails my way and it did not cost 85.00! 🤭You will run out of the base, hardener and top coat long before you’ll run out of dips!Have confidence and faith in your own ability and give it a try. They have an instruction video on YouTube if you need more guidance. I didn’t watch it but it’s there.It is a bit messy - protective your table;

I absolutely love how easy this nail dip powder is to use! I can honestly do my nails in under 30 minutes, which is fantastic! There is also little odor, which is great if I'm doing them in the same room as my husband because he can't stand the smell of nail polish. The only reason I gave this product review four stars is because the bottles of base, activator, and top coat are so small. After several uses, I know I'm going to have to replace the entire kit, even though I have so much colored dip powder left. I wish there was a way to purchase these separately. I purchased the neutral nail color kit, and I will definitely be purchasing the darker colors for autumn/winter next time.

I am someone who cannot do nails. Anytime I have tried to do my nails at home, they look terrible. Plus, I have thin bendy nails. I loved professional dip manicures. I cannot afford them with any regularity.I was so excited to try this that I did not watch any of the suggested videos. I have had my share of dip manicures, so I had some idea of how to do it correctly. I didn't take my time. I didn't put a lot of work into it. I know lots of people's nails are going to look a lot more professionally done than mine. I just wanted to know if the product was even legit.I love my nails!! I can't believe they turned out so well. My nails feel strong and are shiny just like from the salon. Based on reviews. I did buy the bond and do that below the base coat. I also bought some of the clear dip and did that over the color before buffing and adding the top coat.I can't wait to experiment with the colors and the palette and see what my nails look like if I actually put in some real effort.Update: They do chip far more easily than salon dip. I won't know for sure if that is the product or my execution until I get better at doing my nails. However, given that I got everything for less than the cost of one salon dip mani, I can handle having to fix them more often.

I purchased this kit to do my own nails. It takes a little practice to get it looking nice. The description says it lasts a couple of weeks, I have only been able to go about a week before it chips. This latest one was 3 days. The top coat does not seem to dry as quickly as it claims either. I am now looking at an option that includes a UV lamp which I am hoping will make them harder and last longer. I just dont have time to do my nails every week.

I really enjoy this set, the colours aren't as deep as shown in the pictures, but theres some nice ones and great for a starter kit.

This is trash. The liquid products are v small, the base coat dries in about 2 seconds, the colours are very low pigment and because the base is garbage it leaves an uneven finish. Literally putting it in the bin. Don’t purchase.

Colors are not as alike as the photo's but still nice, however there is no clear which I think definately needs to be added to every kit as when you file out the dip powder to remove ridges, it changes the color having the clear to buff out would definately lead to a much better color result.

The product is easy to work with and it looks nice for the time it lasts. Unfortunately it starts chipping off within an hour of applying. After 1 day most of the nail polish is gone. Hence I wouldn't recommend this product.

I liked the colours, and I was so excited when I received them, but, when I tried them, my nails cracked the next day!!! I tried different ways, nothing works. I tried different brand of dipping powder in the past, and it was much better, at least my nails lasted for a week or more.I'm so unhappy with this and I wasted my money on something that will go to the bin.
