Beetles Gel Nail Polish Kit with UV Light - 31Pcs Nail Polish Set Popular Color Gel with Base and Matte&Glossy Top Coat Soak Off All Season Gel Nail Set Nail Art Gift for Women & Girls

This is an amazing kit! It has everything you need and some fun extras! I typically use dip powder for my nails, but wanted to experiment with full coverage jelly tips and polish. This kit has it all! The only thing it’s missing is thermal polish. It comes with base coat, glossy top coat, matte top coat, glitter top coat, pearl top coat, peel-off base (which I’ve been wanting to try). Those bottles alone would cost $37. And can we talk about the nail swatches?! I love how it comes with corresponding stickers for each numbered polish bottle. The real kicker for me is the carrying case it comes in. Everything is right there in its own space. I absolutely love this kit. Totally worth the price. Yes the bottles are a little small, but that should be expected. And you will be able to get multiple mannies from that little bottle. I highly recommend trying this kit.

The bottles are small but just the right size for one person. You get a good variety of colors and it’s a great value and saves money doing it yourself. I would highly recommend. Happy with purchase

I got this kit as an absolute beginner. It was super easy to use, came in good order, nothing was broken, and the directions were great! The nail polish bottles are a bit small but otherwise they are great!! My nails look great!The polish hasn’t chipped yet, and it hardens very well. Would buy again!!

For the price, I love these sets. 5mL may not seem like a whole lot in comparison to a 12-15mL bottle, but they sure do go a long way with how well the application is smooth and deposits a lot of color even with one thin layer.They’re not thick and goopy like a lot of other cheaper branded gel polish, so that is a major plus. Two layers and you will have such a lovely shade of jelly polish, so that 5mL in those little bottles can go a long way if you’re conservative with your application. The variation in shades is also nice. I will definitely have to look into to another beetles jelly set for even more colors.I haven’t had any issues with their durability. I use them on custom press-ons for myself, and the colors remain. Even the top coats are great and apply so smoothly — honestly some of my favorite gel topcoats (just minus the strong smell).My only gripe (reason for taking a star away) is that a few bottles have these weird fibers or tiny little debris in them, like the polish had dust or something upon packing that would never apply smooth/clean. I make sure my work space around my desk for my nails is clean with a filtered fan going and I always brush away any filings and clean my tips in alcohol to have a clean surface. However, I go to take the brush out of the bottle, do a thin layer, and see fibers and little gritty pieces. I do a few swipes to get rid of them on the nail, but I found this to be the case with half of the bottles in this set. 😕Now, I see a lot of grumbling and groans in nail art communities when beetles is mentioned. I know this brand (along with many others you can buy similar sets from) gets slammed a lot by licensed professionals who urge people to instead buy known HEMA-free brands, however … I get it. I understand why many urge customers to go for higher quality because people see the price for these sets and see it’s a lovely value, but they often don’t do any research into HEMA or acrylate allergies.Way too many people buy these sets and then don’t understand why their skin around their fingers itch and burn, thus blaming the brand for a bad batch or something, not understanding that you’re not supposed to let ANY gel polish get on the skin, for one. Two, you absolutely do get what you pay for — HEMA-free is a bit more costly, and there is a reason why you can get so many little bottles of this gel polish for such a low price compare to $180+ sets from more known brands in the industry that strive to be HEMA-free.However, this isn’t something that is exclusive to beetles — it’s something all consumers need to know and understand with ALL gel polish no matter the brand.I personally think these sets are amazing for those on a budget given how much that comes with it. Perfect for those that are getting into doing their own nails/making press-ons who know and understand the risks of using gel polish, but they strive to make sure they do a CLEAN application and don’t get any on their skin (or will at least act quick to remove it ASAP before they do, especially since you don’t want to cure polish on the skin — don’t do that!).If they’re only using these sets on THEIR OWN nails or making press-ons, I think it’s totally fine and I am so glad there are brands offering these sets for these prices. They’re great for practicing and offer a good variety. Just don’t use these sets on anyone else due to the HEMA and charging money for it, especially if you’re unlicensed … so incredibly risky unless you know exactly what you are doing.However, grab a set of these if you’re looking for some cute jelly gel polish to use on yourself or for some press-ons. You won’t be disappointed, especially for the price. Just BE CAREFUL! Do your research!

first time trying this and definitely worked great to be my first time doing my nails with this. The instructions super simple to follow and the results are amazing. I obviously need to practice more to perfection it but they look look lovely

This was my first attempt to do my own shellac nails and I'm impressed. They came out looking pretty good for a first timer. The packaging was neat and organized. There are a lot of extra tools and jewels to give your toes or nails done really cute designs. I haven't tried it out on mine yet. I did a base coat plus 2 color coats, one sparkle coat, and one top coat. I think I did about 120 sec in the uv light in between each coat. All in all, it took me about 1 hour and 15 min from prepping to taking photos, which isn't bad because I was doing one foot at a time to make sure I didn't mess up the other one. I do have an electric drill that I use to buff my nails and cuticles. I recommended getting one of you don't because I think it really speeds up the process. It also helped buff off the the extra paint around the cuticles and anywhere else I made a mess. Mine was about $30 here on Amazon. It's in the pics if you wanna know which kind I bought. It's called a Dannary nail drill. I tried to wipe off any errors as I went, and while it's wet, it's really easy to get off. After I cured the last top coat, I used the sharp metal drill bit to clean up anything that I didn't like and it worked really well. I applied the cuticle oil provided in the box and it was all done! I am curious to know how long they will last. I will do an update, but so far, it's been 2 days and no chipping or peeling. Oh! And the colors are exactly what is shown. They are very beautiful and vibrant. I have seen in other reviews that the UV light doesn't work all the way, but mine works just fine. I would highly recommend this product because it saved me time of going to the salon, spending the $60-$90 I usually spend every time I go, and I can do it at home when I have free time. Doing my own toes once paid for the entire product and then some!
