AZUREBEAUTY Halloween Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter Black Green Noctilucent Purple Red add 3D Nails Accessory Acrylic Dip Powder Liquid Set with Base/Top Coat Activator for Manicure Gift Box

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.

I was ready to give up on this dip set until I decided to give it another shot. The instructions first say to apply a bond which is not included in the set. Luckily I was able to do my nails without the bond. The nails do come out VERY bumpy and uneven regardless of how nice and smooth you apply the base but after applying the activator let the nails sit for more than the 60 seconds recommended (I would recommend 5-10mins) & afterwards you’ll be able to file them down nice and smooth. If you don’t wait a bit to allow the activator to harden it easily comes apart. Once you smooth the dip powder out you’re good to apply the top coat (I ended up using a gel top coat)

Wife loves the nail polish.

I recently tried out the AZUREBEAUTY Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter, and my experience with it has been somewhat mixed. While the kit offers convenience and a decent range of colors, there are a few aspects that left me feeling somewhat disappointed.First, I appreciate the convenience of having a complete starter kit that includes everything needed to try out dip powder nails. The kit comes with a range of colors, base coat, activator, top coat, and all the necessary tools. This comprehensive package eliminates the need to purchase individual components separately, making it a suitable option for beginners or those looking to experiment with dip powder nails at home.However, I found that the quality of the dip powders varied. While some colors provided excellent coverage and a smooth finish, others required multiple layers to achieve the desired opacity. The inconsistency in the pigmentation was disappointing, as it meant spending more time and effort to achieve the desired results.The application process itself was straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions provided with the kit. The brushes and tools included were of decent quality and allowed for precise application. However, I did find that the powders tended to clump together, making it challenging to achieve a smooth and even coat. This inconsistency in texture made the application process more time-consuming and required additional buffing and shaping to achieve a desirable result.I must note that the durability of the dip powder nails was satisfactory. When applied correctly and with proper care, the nails stayed intact for a decent amount of time without chipping or peeling. This durability is a definite plus for those seeking long-lasting nail results.One aspect that fell short of my expectations was the drying time. Despite claims of quick drying, I found that the dip powder nails took longer to dry and set compared to traditional nail polishes. This longer drying time meant that I had to be extra cautious and patient to avoid smudging or damaging the freshly applied powder.Lastly, the removal process was somewhat challenging. Removing dip powder nails requires soaking in acetone, and I found that it took longer than anticipated to dissolve and remove the powder completely. This extended removal process can be time-consuming and requires additional effort compared to regular nail polishes.In conclusion, the AZUREBEAUTY Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter offers convenience and a range of colors for those interested in trying out dip powder nails at home. However, the inconsistency in pigmentation, clumping during application, longer drying time, and challenging removal process detracted from the overall experience. While the kit provides a good starting point, it may require some patience and practice to achieve the desired results.

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.

Very easy and fun to use!
