42Pcs Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter, All Seasons Series 32 Colors Spring Red Brown Yellow Glitter Pink Blue Dipping Powder Set with Top/Base Coat Activator for French Art Manicure Gifts by AZUREBEAUTY

My daughters and I used to go to the nail salon for every occasion, spending at least $250 for 3 of us. Now my teen goes only when her friends wanna get pampered but usually they come here to do thier nails! Great product and super easy to learn to apply!

I like dip because it lasts longer on me than gel but I can't afford to pay for the salon every 2 weeks. Yes for me 2 weeks. I have very oily nails and I'm a biter. With polish on I don't bite but I will pick at the polish. The photo of my thumb is so you can see how the color looks when your temperature starts to change. It's a pretty cool ombre effect. The other photos shows you the 2 colors used. Color 162 is the color change polish. I used 3 coats because that one went on thin. The silver sparkle only needed 1 coat and I topped it with transparent. Always put transparent coat over glitter. The pic also shows Azure bond which I bought separately. This goes on before the base. It helps remove any oils and I highly recommend it. The 3rd & 4th photo is my nails one week after using those colors. So as you can see if your hands are warm the color is a light greenish gray. When your hands are cold the polish turns dark green. Only 2 polishes have the color changing. The rest do not do that. Also, regarding other people giving poor reviews. Dip takes practice and not all dip prep products are equal. The base coat holds a lot of liquid, so be sure to wipe excess on the neck of the bottle so you don't have too much liquid on the nail. Secondly and most importantly after using the activator you must buff the nails smooth. And when you finished buffing, buff some more. I accidentally had a huge polish bump on mine and took a coarse nail file to remove it and then buffed. You can never buff too much that's what makes it look salon quality if you don't have a dremel. Hope this helps.

Should come with a small hand drill. It can be a lil lumpy needs the hand drill!!!!

I wanted to try this brand since I’m getting into dip powder and on of the YouTubers I watch suggested them. I’d bought a brand from Sally’s with good experience so I was excited.The first thing is that these come in very little compact pots. I feel like the layers come out way clumpier and it’s easier to make a mess. The wider jars are definitely better if you are dipping into the pot. Colors are definitely deceiving in the pots so do yourself a favor and buy some swatch sticks. You get to practice and get a true color.Second and most important is the dip liquids. Holy moly Batman these STINK. I only did a couple of swatches and got such a terrible headache and just a weird feeling in my face. Before this I had tried the ASP brand at Sally’s. While it doesn’t smell pleasant it was nothing like this and didn’t leave me feeling sick.I’ve only searched about half and haven’t worn any in my nails. I don’t know if the cheaper price is really worth it for the crummy containers and unusable unless earring a mask liquids.

I had been doing my nails at the salon, but hated going there for a number of reasons:01- Small talk 🙄02- Price03- Scent ( I would get a headache every time I went there)04- they would hurt my cuticles every time or make the nail drill too hot and it would hurt my nail.After growing tired of it, I decided to give this kit a try and save some money.The only negative point so far is the learning curve, my first try at home was awful and it tool me almost the whole day, but every time I do my nails I get better and better at it.My nails are growing a lot and this dip powder helps them not break and stay stronger.A few points to note:💅 Watch you tube videos to make sure you are following all the steps.💅 Make sure the base is not too thick and clean the edges after dipping your nails in the dip powder💅 Give the activator enough time before applying the top, otherwise it will give your nails a foggy textureMy nails now last longer and longer every time I get them done, still don't last ad long as going to the salon, but it is still nice! The last time they lasted for about 11 days!Very happy with this kit!

So I am totally new to dip powder. I watched several videos before trying this. I started with one finger at a time completely finishing before I went on to the next one (on one hand) then did the second hand all my fingers 🙃So if I made a mistake it would hopefully only be 1 finger to remove and start over I took my time and did not start over. May not be perfect but for 1st try not bad.I had brushes, files and toothpicks (to clean the side of my nails and cuticles).Hopefully it last a long time. ⌛️ I'll update review when I know how long my 1st attempt lasts.Lasted more than a week no problems only taking it off to change color.

All dip powder liquid set(base coat/activator/topcoat/brush saver) are dry. I can’t do my nails without them. I want my money back

Great product.
