AZUREBEAUTY 12 PCS Dip Powder Nail Starter Kit, Pink Purple Coral 4 Colors Portable Dipping Powder Set, French Nail Art Base&Top Coat Activator Essential Liquid Manicure No Lamp Needed

Not professional, but excellent at home manicure! Easy to do, quick drying. I only have 2 layers on cause I'm lazy. Hope it lasts and helps keep my nails from breaking. Love the colors!

I guess I don’t have a knack for this. I found it hard to get the right amount of thickness of the base coat and getting the powder to adhere to the tip of my nails. It was fairly easy to use and maybe I just need to practice with it. I also got some of the base coat where my finger nails meet my skin, and it is seriously like super glue when getting it on your skin. It doesn’t come off easily! Maybe I’ll give it another go later.

I want to say that is a good set because it’s easy to use, I consider that I get “okay” nails. The shine doesn’t hit the same shine compared to my salon nails. Also they’re kind of fragile, the tend to chip easily. If you had time you can re-do them more less fast because they came off easy with 100% acetone in a cotton and let them rest wrapped in aluminum foil. So…if you have lots of time and like to be crafty they’re good, if you want something durable and practical, not this one.

So happy with the quality of this product. This was my first time using a dip powder kit, so I only have my nail salon to compare results to. I usually get my nails done every 3-5 weeks and spend between $65 (no design)-$130 (w/ design). Now, I’m able to do a basic set and save that money. It’s taken me 2 sets to learn how to do B+ quality. I’m still learning how not to flood my cuticles. BUT, I’m confident in my ability to get my nails looking exactly how I like them! Highly recommend! *In response to reviewers saying their nails chipped hours later, mine last 3 weeks. I highly encourage you to watch a few YouTube vids on proper application of the product for best results. The product is not the issue.

I really like this kit. It came with several colors, the base, activator, and gel top coat. It also has a brush to wipe excess powder, and instructions. It also came with 2 extra brushes for the activator because they can tend to stiffen. The instructions were very easy to understand. This was my first time applying dip myself and I’m so excited to keep trying because of how easy it was. Tip: clean up the edges of your nails between dips and listen to the instructions when it says WAIT 30 seconds between coats.
